Drooping brows can make you look tired or even angry. A brow lift solves this problem by raising the eyebrow area. This lifts sagging skin away from the eyes, giving you a more alert and bright-eyed appearance. A brow lift can produce a noticeable change that makes your entire face look younger.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift uses small, hidden incisions in the scalp to raise the brow area and underlying structures. It corrects sagging brows, hooded eyes, and a tired, aged appearance around the eyes. Dr. Lanfranchi can perform a brow lift alone or with various other procedures to achieve even better results.
How Does a Brow Lift Work?
Dr. Lanfranchi performs brow lifts under local anesthesia. Patients have the option of an oral sedative to make sure they feel calm. He will make small incisions hidden in your hairline and then lift the area for a smoother, brighter appearance. The most significant lift occurs at the outer edges of the brow, where many people see the most sagging.
How Long Does a Brow Lift Last?
You can expect the results of your brow lift to last for many years. The effects of gravity and aging will cause the skin to sag again. However, you will still look younger than if you never had a brow lift. You can prolong your results by taking good care of your skin and avoiding sun exposure. UV rays contribute to sagging and aging.
What Procedures Can I Have With a Brow Lift?
Brow lifts work well in combination with other procedures. Dr. Lanfranchi often performs a brow lift as part of a TLC Premier Lift™, his customized combination of a facelift and other procedures. Since a facelift primarily affects the lower part of the face, a brow lift can be the complementary upper face rejuvenation.
Brow lifts also go well with eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty). An upper eyelid lift will improve the results of a brow lift by removing excess skin from the upper eyelid. A lower eyelid lift can rejuvenate the area under the eyes by reducing bags.
What is Recovery Like From a Brow Lift?
You will have some discomfort and swelling during the first few days after your procedure. You can resume activities as you feel up to them, but take time to rest and recover. Most people have healed within ten to fourteen days. Swelling can take up to one months to resolve completely.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
If you have sagging brows that cover your eyes and make you look tired, a brow lift may be a good option for you. Healthy individuals with grounded, reasonable expectations make the best candidates. A consultation with Dr. Lanfranchi will determine whether you need additional procedures to achieve the results you hope to see.
Stellar Service from Start to Finish
Two months ago I had a lower lifestyle facial lift. I was apprehensive, but it was well worth the effort and expense. Dr. Lanfranchi and his entire staff were kind, caring and very professional, from the first meeting to the follow up appointments.
The procedure is done under a local, not general anesthetic, and it was easy. I healed quickly and am very satisfied with the results.
His fee was very reasonable. Any further facial work I want done, I will be sure to come back here.
