Browlift surgery, Dallas Tx is used to correct the sagging skin of the forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids. Many people will accompany browlift surgery with a facelift.

How it Works

The brow lift procedure is sometimes referred to as a forehead lift. The procedure will reposition sagging brows and remove the wrinkles and creases across the forehead and around the eyebrow area.

Patients will be given general anesthesia. During the brow lift surgery, tiny incisions are made around the hairline that will go from ear to ear at the top of your head. The surgeon will then lift the skin and muscles of the forehead and remove any excess fat or skin. The skin is then repositioned into the new spot.

Browlift incisions can be closed with adhesives, sutures, clips, or surgical tape.

Browlift, Dallas Tx, surgery can be performed by itself or in conjunction with a facelift or rhinoplasty or other cosmetic procedure.

Recovery
