What Should I Expect During Temporal Brow Lift Surgery?
Temporal brow lift surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia. The type of anesthesia administered can depend on the patient’s health, goals, and personal preference. Two small incisions will be made, one near each temple. These incisions are strategically placed just behind the hairline to ensure any scarring is left un-detected.
Through these incisions, our facial plastic surgeons will remove any excess underlying skin and lift the outer layer of skin to a new, youthful position. Upon completion of your temporal brow lift surgery, the incisions will be closed and dressed to promote healing. Although procedure times vary for every patient, temporal brow lift surgery is typically less invasive than other brow lift methods, usually taking less than an hour to complete.
What Should I Expect After Temporal Brow Lift Surgery?
After undergoing temporal brow lift surgery, patients should expect mild bruising, swelling, and irritation. It is recommended that patients maintain an elevated head position throughout their healing process to minimize any swelling. Depending on the type of anesthesia used, some patients may have to undergo monitoring before being sent home. Patients should plan to have someone available to drive them home following the procedure.
Before going home, Dr. Killingsworth and his team of plastic surgery professionals will provide detailed aftercare instructions for you to follow. It is important that patients follow these instructions carefully in order to maximize their results and minimize their recovery time. Although this procedure is less invasive than other brow lift techniques, it is still recommended that patients take time to rest following their procedure and refrain from any vigorous exercise or physical activity.
