Over time, our faces succumb to the effects of the aging process. Genetics, excessive sun exposure, and gravity all contribute to skin aging, making us look older than we feel. These changes usually manifest as unwanted wrinkles and forehead creases. Thankfully, the world of cosmetology offers solutions to rejuvenate our facial appearances. A brow lift can give your face a refreshed and more youthful look.

Your Beverly Hills Brow Lift consultation

Patients who have concerns or questions about the brow lift procedure, also known as a forehead lift, can rest assured that they will have the opportunity to learn more about it during the private consultation. Your initial meeting with Dr. Nassif, a leading facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, will cover all essential details. We assess every patient's medical history, including current and past medications, supplements, and drug usage. This information helps us determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure, which is the case for most individuals.

During your consultation for a brow lift in Los Angeles, you can talk to Dr. Nassif about the issues that you want to see improve. Many people with pronounced signs of aging experience a drop in self-confidence. Dr. Nassif invites you to share your objectives for the procedure with him, making sure they are realistic and achievable. While plastic surgery delivers remarkable results, like any surgical procedure, it comes with certain risks. Dr. Nassif will go over all of these potential risks during the consultation.

Risks and Complications

According to data gathered from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the risks associated with brow lift procedures are minimal. That said, some of the most common risks for this procedure include the following:

Temporary forehead numbness following the procedure
Potential loss of eyebrow or forehead movement
Permanent hair loss or thinning near the incision scar

These effects are usually temporary and dissipate over a short period of time.

The Brow Lift procedure

The night before the surgery, patients must abstain from eating or drinking after midnight. Cleansing with an antimicrobial soap both the evening before and on the morning of the procedure is also incredibly important. Dr. Nassif offers two methods for your brow lift in Beverly Hills. The classic approach involves a continuous incision along the natural hairline from the tip of one upper ear to the corresponding tip of the other.

Dr. Nassif elevates the skin, eliminating excess tissue, and may trim the underlying muscle for a more natural look. Following this, the incision is closed with sutures. The placement of the incision can be adjusted based on additional goals, such as addressing hair loss, if combined with the brow lift procedure.

Technological innovations enable us to utilize endoscopy to carry out a brow lift with a less invasive approach. This method involves creating multiple small incisions discreetly within the hairline. It frequently results in minimized bruising and swelling, affording a shorter recovery period and sidestepping the potential risks associated with general anesthesia.

Recovery

After your brow lift in Los Angeles, you may initially experience nausea or discomfort upon waking. Notify the medical staff, as they can provide medication for relief. In the post-surgery phase, stick to a diet of light, bland foods, gradually transitioning to spicier or heavier options as the days pass. Always adhere to any specific dietary restrictions if provided.

While the final results will leave you looking younger and more relaxed, expect some bruising for approximately ten days following a brow lift. The surgeon will apply head bandages to minimize swelling and bleeding. Patients will receive prescription pain and antibiotic medications for home use, and it's crucial to follow the dosage instructions for a successful recovery.

The bandages will be removed within a few days following the procedure, but the sutures must remain in place for a period of seven to ten days. Patients must sleep with their heads elevated to alleviate swelling and avoid strenuous physical activity. It is also recommended that they take short walks to prevent blood clots. For the first two to three days, make sure to keep the incision site dry.
