Brow lift surgery is a cosmetic surgical technique used to eliminate the wrinkles at the forehead, areas around the upper eye and above the nose. A successful brow lift cosmetic surgery operation like this can help to lift your sagging skin, producing a much younger and refreshed look.
Classic Brow lift
Depending on the evaluation by your surgeon, either the classic or the endoscopic brow lift method will be adopted. For a classic brow lift surgery, a few incisions are made from your one end of your hairline to the other. What happens next is that your surgeon will release the exposed muscle and lift the tissues underneath it. Any excess skin are trimmed off subsequently.
Endoscopic Brow lift
An endoscopic brow lift surgery is much more straightforward. All it requires is a one inch incision on the scalp by the surgeon. A camera device (endoscope) will be inserted through the incision subsequently. Images from the camera will be displayed on the monitor screen, and from there, the surgeon will be able to see and lift the tissues precisely underneath the skin.The end result are similar but the endoscopic brow lift (minimal invasion method) should be a better option for you as the risk is lower.
Fees For Brow Lift treatment
The cost of a brow lift surgical treatment depends on what kind of surgery is adopted and what else is done. Prices have been falling but it is still not cheap. Generally, an experience surgeon’s fee for such procedures can cost up to $2000 and above.
When can you see the result?
The downtime for brow lift surgery is minimal, which is good. In fact, stitches can be removed usually by the end of the week. By the tenth day, if all things go well, you should be able to resume your normal routine already. However, it may take several more weeks before you can see the scars disappear.
