Brow Lift

 

Introduction to Brow Lift

The forehead and eyebrows are instrumental in framing our face and expressing our feelings. For instance, a dropped or heavy brow can make the face appear less youthful or angry. With time and the effects of gravity, the brows can descend, creating a downward push on the eyelids and leading to a droopy eye appearance. Dr. Jigar Sitapara has become well-known for being one of the top facial plastic surgeons in the Northeast. Located in Columbia, MD, he sees brow lift patients from all over Howard County and the Baltimore & Washington D.C. metropolitan at our state-of-the-art practice.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that elevates and contours your eyebrows and forehead to reduce wrinkles. This procedure reduces the impacts of aging and stress and helps rejuvenate the upper facial area. When performing a brow lift, Dr. Sitapara will lift your forehead skin, reposition your eyebrow arch, and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

There are three main types of brow lifts that Dr. Sitapara performs:

  • Endoscopic Lift – This type of Lift consists of small incisions hidden in the scalp. It lifts everything from the hairline to the eyebrows. Through the use of small instruments, Dr. Sitapara is able to release and resuspend the brows to a more youthful position.
  • Trichophytic Lift – In this lift, the incision is hidden along the hairline and forehead, and the eyebrows are lifted. Shortening the forehead lowers the hairline, which is ideal for those with a high forehead.
  • Direct Brow Lift – Sometimes called a mid-forehead Lift or a “Gull Wing” Lift, this type of brow lift makes an incision around the brows and eliminates a strip of skin and underlying tissues between the forehead and brow area, pulling the skin and tissue down. This procedure can also address eyebrow shape and asymmetry.

During your consultation, Dr. Sitapara will discuss the pros and cons of each technique so that you can determine which option is best for your aesthetic goals.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the
first step?

If you are considering a brow lift in the Baltimore, MD, area, your first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jigar Sitapara at Prime Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Sitapara will discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, and concerns during the appointment. 

It’s important to be clear about your expectations during the consultation; this will ensure Dr. Sitapara can exceed your desired surgery results and provide his expert recommendations. Sometimes, patients assume they want a brow lift when, in reality, the best course of action to achieve their desired aesthetic is upper eyelid surgery or even a facelift. By being forward with questions and expectations, Dr. Sitapara can set the stage for a life-altering surgery that will provide a more youthful and natural-looking facial rejuvenation. 

Pro Tip – It’s critical that you remember you and your surgeon are on the same team. The questions asked, your answers, and Dr. Sitapara’s recommendations are designed to ensure top brow lift results and an efficient recovery.

What to Expect On the Day of Brow Lift Surgery

On the day of your brow lift, you’ll arrive at our surgical suite at Prime Facial Plastic Surgery. One of the benefits that Dr. Sitapara offers is that the surgery will take place at the same location as your consultation. Once you arrive at the state-of-the-art facility, our nurses and concierge team will help you get settled. Before surgery, Dr. Sitapara will meet with you once more to answer questions and give you the opportunity to air any concerns you might have. Patient safety and comfort are of the utmost importance, and our mission is to ensure you’re confident going into the surgery.

A board-certified anesthesiologist will administer anesthesia so your brow lift procedure is pain-free. If you prefer general or twilight anesthesia, discuss this with Dr. Sitapara during your consultation. Once you are sedated, Dr. Sitapara will use the technique discussed in the consultation to perform the brow lift.

An average brow lift, without any complications, will typically take a couple of hours to complete.

Brow Lift Recovery

Your brow lift will be an outpatient procedure, which means most patients will be able to return home the same day with a family member or friend driving them home.

Patients should expect mild swelling and bruising, which should subside over the coming days. You will be provided with post-operative instructions and any necessary pain medications.

During the first five days after your procedure, you are encouraged to have minimal activity, routinely apply ice to your forehead, and keep your head elevated to reduce the amount of swelling. We recommend you stay away from strenuous exercise and maintain a normal walking routine to prevent the formation of blood clots.
