What is a Browlift?
A browlift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper portion of the face by addressing issues such as:
- Sagging Eyebrows: If your eyebrows have descended with age or due to genetics, a browlift can restore them to a more youthful position.
- Forehead Wrinkles: Browlift surgery can smooth out deep forehead wrinkles and horizontal lines that can make you appear older.
- Drooping Eyelids: In some cases, a browlift can also improve the appearance of hooded or drooping eyelids.
How is a Browlift Performed?
During a typical browlift procedure, the following steps are followed:
- Anesthesia: Your comfort is a priority. Browlift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your specific needs and preferences.
- Incision Placement: Dr. Riccio will strategically place incisions based on the type of browlift you are undergoing. Common incision locations include:
- Endoscopic Browlift: Several small incisions are made within the hairline.
- Coronal Browlift: A single incision is made behind the hairline across the top of the head.
- Temporal Browlift: Incisions are made within the hairline at the temples.
- Muscle and Tissue Adjustment: Dr. Riccio will lift and reposition the underlying muscles and tissues to create a more youthful and natural appearance. This step also helps in reducing forehead wrinkles.
- Excess Skin Removal: Any excess skin is carefully trimmed away, resulting in smoother, rejuvenated brows and forehead.
- Closing Incisions: The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures or staples, depending on the technique used.
- Recovery: You'll be closely monitored in a recovery area as the effects of anesthesia wear off. It's essential to have someone available to drive you home and assist you during the initial recovery period.
- Postoperative Care: Dr. Riccio will provide specific postoperative instructions, including wound care, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
