Droopy eyebrows can be a common sign of aging, and both men and women may notice this change in their facial contours. If you’re looking to correct this, Dr. Derek Steinbacher of Guilford, Connecticut, can perform eyebrow lift surgery.
Eyebrow lift surgery, also known medically as a browplasty or forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that raises the eyebrows to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. As we age, our skin starts to lose its elasticity and begins to droop. This can often lead to droopy eyebrows and a tired, aged look.
During the brow lift surgery, Dr. Steinbacher makes a series of small incisions in the scalp along the hairline or behind the ears, depending on the technique used for the patient. The muscles and tissues beneath the skin are repositioned and tightened to lift the eyebrows into a more youthful position. In some situations, excess skin may be removed to enhance the results further.
The surgery typically takes one to two hours and can be performed under local or even general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preferences and medical history.
Recovery time following browplasty varies from patient to patient. Generally, patients return to work within a week and resume all normal activities after two weeks. Dr. Steinbacher gives Patients aftercare instructions to follow closely, reducing the risk of complications. When you consult with him during your first appointment to decide if you are a good candidate for this treatment, you will learn more about the recovery and healing process so you can be properly prepared for your surgery.
If you struggle with drooping or sagging eyebrows that make you appear angry, tired, or older than you actually are, it may be time to speak to an experienced plastic surgeon regarding the benefits of the brow lift surgery. Guilford, CT area patients are invited to call (203) 453-6635 to request an appointment with Dr. Derek Steinbacher and his team at 5 Durham Road, Suite 1-8.
