How Does A Brow Lift Work? 

Brow lift surgery in Little Rock is designed to tighten sagging tissue around the forehead and eyebrows in order to give patients an overall more youthful look. It works by removing excess skin and redistributing muscles so that they are better positioned relative to each other, restoring balance across facial features. 

What Does A Brow Lift Treat? 

A brow lift treats sagging brows to restore a youthful, alert appearance. It helps smooth horizontal lines on the forehead, reduces deep creases between the eyebrows, and opens up heavy hooding around the upper eyelids. It can help diminish signs of aging and present fresh-positioned alertness for an overall vibrant facial rejuvenation. 

Benefits Of Brow Lift 

A brow lift, or forehead lift, can help you achieve a more youthful appearance by tightening the skin on your forehead and lifting sagging eyebrows. With this procedure comes various benefits like diminishing frown lines between your eyes, reducing wrinkles across the entire forehead area, to restoring balance in facial features for an overall refreshed look. A brow lift can awaken your expressions, offer natural-looking results, reverse the signs of aging, and balance your appearance by bringing symmetry to your face. 

What Other Procedures Can Be Combined With A Brow Lift? 

A brow lift can be performed in combination with other facial procedures in Little Rock to enhance the overall aesthetic appearance of your face. For example, combining a facelift or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) with a brow lift offers maximum rejuvenation and beautiful results that harmonize all features of the face. 

Why Choose A Brow Lift? 

This aesthetic procedure can help enhance your overall facial contours, reduce wrinkles, and elevate drooping eyebrows or heavy lids for an improved appearance that will last well into the future. 

What Is The Difference Between Blepharoplasty And A Brow Lift? 

Blepharoplasty or eyelid lift is a surgical procedure used to improve the overall look of the upper and lower eyelids. Excess skin and fat are removed to create a more well-rested-looking eye area. A brow lift, on the other hand, aims to rejuvenate the forehead area by lifting drooping brows, smoothing deep furrows, and reducing wrinkles in the forehead area. While blepharoplasty and brow lift are available from many plastic surgeons as separate procedures, they can often be completed together for an overall rejuvenated facial appearance. 

Before, During, and After a Brow Lift

What To Expect Before A Brow Lift Procedure   

Before a brow lift procedure, a health assessment is administered, and lab tests are taken. Before surgery, patients should avoid taking aspirin and herbal supplements, which can raise the risk of bleeding and bruising. 

What To Expect During A Brow Lift Procedure   

During brow lift surgery, excess skin and tissue will be removed, muscles in the forehead and eyebrows will be repositioned, and fat may be redistributed to create a more youthful contour. General anesthesia will be used. 

What To Expect After A Brow Lift Procedure   

After your brow lift procedure, you may experience some mild bruising and swelling. You should keep your head elevated for 14 days and refrain from strenuous activities; this will help speed up recovery so that sutures can be removed when appropriate to do so. You can typically return to work and usual activities within two weeks.
