Brow Lift in Miami

Your forehead is probably one of the most expressive facial features, playing a significant role in nonverbal communication, particularly of your mood, and thoughts. However, deep furrows can often create permanent frown, making you look older, tired, and angry. Offered at Unique Aesthetic Center, a brow lift can be an effective cosmetic procedure for rejuvenating your appearance and it is generally performed in conjunction with other procedures.

Brow lift Miami candidates

A brow lift is recommended for men and women with sagging eyebrows who desire to improve uniformity in their face, and may not feel comfortable with temporary solutions such as Botox. It’s essential you book an appointment with one of our surgeons at Unique Aesthetic Center to find out if you are a good candidate for the brow lift procedure. The ideal candidates for this procedure are:

• Patients with realistic expectations
• Experiencing facial sagging and loss of fat volume
• Unhappy with facial features
• Have tried other noninvasive techniques
• In good physical health and have no medical condition that may interfere with surgery and recovery

Brow lift procedure

There are two main types of brow lifts:

• Coronal brow lift – This procedure is performed through an incision just above the hairline to help reduce the amount of visible scarring.
• Endoscopic brow lift – This procedure involves four small incisions. Then, an endoscope is inserted in the forehead tissues to free the attachments and raise the eyebrows to a more youthful position.

Recovery

A brow lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Following surgery, patients should keep their heads elevated for several days and may return to work in 7 to 10 days. It’s essential you follow instructions provided by your surgeon, which may include:

• Applying cold packs to reduce swelling
• Sleeping on your back with your head raised
• Don’t miss follow up visits
• Expect tightness, discomfort, swelling, and some bruising
• Stay hydrated
• May drive in two to three weeks
• May resume regular activities within a month

Your initial brow lift consultation

During your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will assess your wellbeing while also explaining the techniques available for the brow lift procedure. The different surgical techniques will be demonstrated. After the method has been chosen, patients are asked to fill out all pre-operative responsibilities such as blood work, drug testing, and physical examination. Patients are advised to stop smoking and discontinue all blood thinners before surgery.

How much does a brow lift cost?

The average cost of a brow lift is $3,500, which can vary depending on your surgeon’s skill and experience. Brow lift is a cosmetic procedure, so your insurance may not cover it, but we have several financing plans available.

At what age can I have a brow lift?

Women may do this procedure as early as their late twenties, and men in their later forties.

Are there any risks associated with a brow lift?

It’s very uncommon for patients to experience any significant risks or complications from a brow lift. This procedure doesn’t involve any major issues. But just like any other cosmetic procedure, there are some complications you should be aware of, which will be explained in more details during your initial consultation:

• Problems with anesthesia
• Bleeding, infection, and scarring
• Dissatisfaction with the results
• Allergic reactions
• Hematoma or seroma

To reduce the risks, patients should follow all instructions provided by the surgeon so that they will not encounter any health issues along the way that may lead to altered results.

What type of anesthesia is used?

Local anesthesia and sedation are used. However, general anesthesia is required most of the time, based on what you want to accomplish.

How painful is the procedure?

Since anesthesia is used, the procedure itself is painless. However, you will experience some swelling and tightness for a week. Most of our patients require little medication to alleviate any discomfort experienced during recovery.

Are there any scars left after a brow lift?

This procedure involves small incisions at the top of the forehead; therefore, the hair will conceal it.

What results can I expect?

The results are immediate. Your face will look refreshed and younger once the swelling has resolved and the incisions lines fade. While the results are permanent, a healthy lifestyle and sun protection will help you keep the results for many years to come.

Can I combine a brow lift and a facelift?

Yes. Patients often combine this procedure since both surplus eyelid skin and brow drop are experienced at the same time.
