Browlift Surgery And Eyelid Surgery Address The Signs Of Aging
As we age, our brow tends to sag and droop. We also develop lines in our forehead and along the sides of our eyes. Brow lift addresses these signs of aging. Plastic surgeons use various browlift techniques depending on the features and needs of individual patients. These include the coronal lift, which uses an incision along the entire scalp; the temporal brow lift, which uses small incisions at the lateral parts of the hairline; and the endoscopic brow lift, which uses several small scalp incisions and telescopes to do the lift.
During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for the specific type of browlift to yield the best results. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient, and under general anesthesia administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients have very little pain following the surgery as well because long-acting local anesthetic is administered as part of the procedure. Most patients return to work about a week after surgery. There may be some bruising for a week or so and some swelling for a few weeks following surgery.
Another facial rejuvenation procedure that many patients want is eyelid surgery. Eyelid surgery or "blepharoplasty" treats drooping or fullness of the upper or lower eyelids. As men and women age, their upper eyelids tend to sag and their lower eyelids tend to become puffy. These developments can lead to a tired and older appearance. Blepharoplasty uses small incisions that are hidden within natural skin folds. Various amounts of excess skin, fat and muscle are removed. Scars are usually almost imperceptible. Sometimes the lower eyelids can be treated using incisions made on the inside of the lower eyelid, with no external scars, in a procedure called trans-conjunctival blepharoplasty. All plastic surgeons tailor their eyelid surgery to the needs of each individual patient. Though these procedures usually only last one to two hours, the improvements in appearance are often dramatic.
During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for the best type of procedure and incision placement to yield the best results. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient, under local anesthesia and sedation administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients have very little pain following the surgery because long-acting local anesthetic is administered as part of the procedure. Most patients return to work about a week after surgery. There may be some bruising for a week or so and some swelling for a few weeks following surgery.
