Brow Lift

What is a Brow Lift?

Brow lift surgery, performed by Dr. Kristopher M. Day at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery in Bellevue, WA, is a cosmetic procedure designed to raise the eyebrows and smooth forehead wrinkles, creating a more youthful and alert appearance. Dr. Day offers various brow lift techniques tailored to each patient’s specific needs and aesthetic goals:

  • Endoscopic Brow Lift: This minimally invasive technique involves small incisions within the hairline, using an endoscope to guide the surgery, offering the benefits of minimal scarring and a quicker recovery.

  • Coronal Brow Lift: For a more traditional approach, Dr. Day may perform a coronal brow lift, where an incision is made across the top of the head, hidden within the hair, allowing for a significant lift and repositioning of the forehead skin.

  • Hairline Brow Lift: Ideal for individuals with a high forehead, this technique involves an incision between the top of the forehead and the hairline, preventing further elevation of the hairline while lifting the brows.

  • Temporal or Lateral Brow Lift: Targeting the outer eyebrows, this approach involves incisions above the temples and is less extensive than a full brow lift, suitable for addressing specific areas of concern.

Dr. Day’s expertise in brow lift surgery ensures that each procedure is customized to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation, aligning with the patient’s unique facial structure and aesthetic desires. A consultation with Dr. Day is essential to discuss the most appropriate technique for your individual needs and to ensure optimal outcomes.

What to Expect During
a Brow Lift

During a brow lift procedure with Dr. Kristopher M. Day:

  1. Anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the surgery. The choice between local or general anesthesia depends on the specific technique used and individual patient factors.

  2. Incisions are made according to the chosen brow lift technique. These may be placed within the hairline or, in some cases, directly above the brow or in the forehead creases to minimize visibility.

  3. Tissue and muscle adjustments are made through the incisions. Dr. Day may remove or alter parts of the muscles responsible for frown lines, and excess skin is trimmed to elevate the brows and smooth the forehead.

  4. The incisions are then closed with sutures or skin adhesives, completing the procedure.

The entire process is meticulously planned and executed by Dr. Day to achieve a lifted, more youthful brow position with considerations for minimal scarring and natural-looking results.

Recovering From a Brow Lift

Recovery from a brow lift begins immediately after the surgery, with patients typically experiencing some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the forehead and eye areas. Dr. Day may apply bandages and, in some cases, use drains to remove excess fluids from the surgical site. Pain during this initial phase can usually be managed with medications prescribed by Dr. Day, ensuring patient comfort.

 

In the weeks following the procedure, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting to prevent strain on the healing tissues. Dr. Day will provide specific instructions on when it’s safe to gradually resume various activities. Swelling and bruising are normal parts of the recovery process and will diminish over time. Keeping the head elevated, even while sleeping, can aid in reducing swelling more effectively.

 

Follow-up visits with Dr. Day are crucial for monitoring the healing process, removing sutures if needed, and addressing any patient concerns. While changes in brow position can be noticed relatively soon after the procedure, the final results of the brow lift will become more evident as the swelling subsides over the months following the surgery.

 

Adhering closely to Dr. Day’s post-operative care instructions and attending all scheduled follow-up appointments are key steps to ensuring a smooth recovery and achieving the best possible outcomes from the brow lift procedure.

The results of a surgical brow lift typically last anywhere from 10-15 years. However, this timeline will depend on how well you maintain the results regarding sun protection, your skincare routine, how you manage stress and other non-invasive cosmetic procedures you undergo.

A brow lift is typically a procedure accompanied by little pain. While you might feel some mild to moderate facial discomfort, swelling, and bruising, patients can quickly remedy this with ice and pain medication.

A brow lift removes excess and sagging tissue from on or near the scalp, which helps elevate the eyebrows on the forehead. An upper eyelid lift removes similarly excess and sagging tissue from the upper eyelid, which makes the eyelids appear more youthful but does not raise the eyebrows. Both of these procedures can make the upper third of the face appear more youthful and may be used in combination or selectively for individual patients’ needs.
