Different Approaches To Performing the Brow Lift
The surgical procedure is performed through an incision. There are different approaches of making incisions in the surrounding area of the eyebrows in the forehead. Most surgeons go for the bicoronal approach to make an incision of 5 to 7 centimeters. Such an incision is made at the back of the hairline and extends from ear to ear. This incision remains out of sight as it is concealed in the hairline of the eyebrows. This is the greatest advantage of the bicoronal incision.
The common procedure that men in general go for is to make an incision in the forehead crease. The approach is pretrichlear incision that is made at the hairline if the forehead is long and broad. To make an incision in the area just above the eyebrows is another technique to execute the brow lift. The advanced technique of making an incision is the endoscopic approach.
Risks And Complications
Development of complications in patients after the surgery is rare. The possible complications that the brow lift surgery may involve are damage to the nerves that control the forehead and eyebrow movements. In some cases, patients suffer from hair loss along the edges of incision scar in the scalp if the incision is made in the hairline. Moreover, bleeding and infection may appear on the surface as surgical complications. Patients whose foreheads have got endotine implants may be at a risk of moving a little the newly adjusted tissue before they recover absolutely after the surgery.
Recovery
Recovery period and process in case of brow lift vary with individuals. The length of recovery depends on the surgical procedure and technique, the patients' physical complications. It is natural to experience discomfort due to pain at incisions after the surgery. Pain-healing medicines are administered to them to lessen postoperative discomfort. Most patients with no post-surgery complications return to normal activities almost in a week. It takes time to recover from the endoscopic procedure of brow lift.
Restriction of hectic and heavy activities such as running, jogging, bending, physical workout or sexual intercourse is a recommendation for the patients. Numbness and swelling at the treated area are common after the surgery. However, they disappear with time.
