Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery in Amarillo, Texas for Facial Rejuvenation
Over time, many people develop drooping skin along the brow line and wrinkles in the forehead. These symptoms can contribute to an appearance of age and fatigue that may not accurately reflect the way you actually feel. By surgically lifting the brow or forehead, Dr. Proffer can create a more youthful and rested appearance to the upper face. Patients who undergo a brow, or forehead, lift at Proffer Surgical Associates in Amarillo, Texas benefit from the latest techniques available, making it possible to appear years younger with just a single simple procedure.
Before Your Surgery
Before you can undergo brow lift surgery, you must be evaluated in detail by Dr. Proffer during a pre-surgical consultation. A forehead lift is not for everyone, but most healthy adults are good candidates and can safely undergo treatment. Our forehead lift patients rarely experience serious complications.
At your consultation, Dr. Proffer will discuss your goals for surgery as well as your health history. Brow lift surgery is a popular way to correct frown lines, which cause a person to look worried, angry, or under stress. A brow lift procedure can also be used to correct a sagging forehead or brows that hang over the eyes, causing a person to appear fatigued.
Some patients who are interested in a brow lift opt for a face lift instead because they want a treatment that improves wrinkles and sagging affecting the entire face. A forehead lift can also be combined with treatments such as eyelid lift, as well as BOTOX® Cosmetic and other non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments.
The Brow / Forehead Lift Procedure
Brow lift patients at our Amarillo, Texas facility are treated under either general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia. Forehead lift incisions are usually concealed behind the hairline. Patients with unusually high foreheads may require incisions in front of the hairline.
The brow lift procedure is performed using an endoscope - a surgical instrument with a fiber optic light source and camera at the end of a flexible tube. This implement allows Dr. Proffer to complete surgery through much smaller incisions, resulting in less scarring. With the aid of specialized high-precision surgical instruments, the forehead skin is lifted and repositioned, while muscles that cause frown lines are weakened.
After Brow Lift Surgery
Forehead lift patients return home with dressings that are usually removed on the first or second day after surgery. Any discomfort during recovery can be controlled with prescription medication. Sutures are removed within ten days, and most swelling and bruising fades within seven to ten days, at which point you can return to work and other normal daily activities. It may take a few weeks to see the full benefits of the procedure.
