Brow Lift Midlothian, VA | Lewis Plastic Surgery: Gordon Lewis, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Procedures

A brow lift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to restore a more youthful appearance to the forehead. As individuals age, gravity and natural changes cause eyebrows to drop and flatten, creating a tired or aged look. Dr. Lewis specializes in customizing brow lift techniques to reshape eyebrows and smooth forehead wrinkles.

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery

Most healthy adults are potential candidates for a successful brow lift. Optimal candidates should:

• Be in good overall health
• Have controlled medical conditions
• Refrain from smoking before and after surgery
• Experience drooping or flattened eyebrows

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Lewis employs advanced surgical methods to ensure natural-looking results. Incisions are strategically placed within or at the hairline to minimize visible scarring. During the procedure, the skin and muscles are carefully lifted, excess skin is removed, and the eyebrows are reshaped to restore a more youthful contour.

Issues Addressed by Brow Lift

• Forehead wrinkles
• Drooping eyebrows
• Flattened eyebrow arch
• Mild upper eyelid hooding

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients require 1-2 weeks of recovery time. Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and cold compresses. Strenuous activities should be avoided for approximately three weeks to ensure proper healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While brow lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, and temporary nerve sensitivity. Dr. Lewis thoroughly discusses these potential complications during the comprehensive consultation process.
