Brow Lift Surgery After Weight Loss
As you're thinking about how best to refresh your appearance with plastic surgery after weight loss, especially as you're giving your face a long, hard look in the mirror, you should consider learning about the benefits of brow lift, or forehead lift, surgery in Sacramento.
Though most patients have heard of facelift surgery, many people still haven't learned the benefits of a brow lift. At first, it may seem like your forehead is the least of your worries. But if, like many Sacramento post weight loss patients, you're considering a facelift, you should know that the rejuvenating effects of facial plastic surgery often aren't complete without a brow lift. Many patients are truly surprised at how dramatically their looks are improved when their sagging forehead skin is lifted back into position, out of the furrows and eyebrows. In just a few hours you can look more alive and alert; less worried and angry. Not to mention younger and happier.
Facelift, eyelid surgery and brow lift procedures are often combined for maximum facial rejuvenation, and they can sometimes be added to other plastic surgery after weight loss procedures as well. A consultation with Dr. Kaufman will help you decide the right approach for you.
Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery
Though they may not have the long history facelift surgery has, forehead lifts are commonly performed today. Patients who can benefit include men and women whose aging facial skin has wandered south, people whose genetic background granted them a heavy, furrowed forehead and patients seeking surgical rejuvenation after weight loss.
Is the procedure for you? Hold the skin at your hairline in your fingertips, at either end of your forehead above the outer part of your eyes. Lift gently. If you see potential improvement, you'll understand why so many men and women add a brow lift to their post weight loss surgery plan.
Forehead lift complications are rare. In a fraction of cases, infection, excessive bleeding, nerve damage or poor scar formation occurs.
Brow Lift Surgery and Recovery
The procedure can be performed in one of two ways. A classic forehead lift involves an incision across the top of the head, hidden in your hairline, to allow your surgeon access to the tissues underneath. An endoscopic brow lift creates a few shorter incisions for an endoscope, or a tube-like device with a camera, to be inserted. In either case, your muscles will be released, if necessary, and your skin will be tightened up.
The procedure takes one or two hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
