Brow Lift in Portland & Lake Oswego
As we age, we may want a little “lift” to restore our youth in certain areas of our forehead. For patients who appear to have a tired, sad, worn, or mad look, Dr. Elisa Burgess offers brow lift procedures to patients at her Portland, OR area practice to open up the eyes and raise the eyebrows. There are a handful of reasons patients chose to undergo a brow lift, including:
- Rejuvenating the area above the eyes and to lift the brows
- To better match their outward appearance with how they feel physically or emotionally
- Restore their original facial features and make them appear more rested
- To complete an entire facial rejuvenation when combined with other facial procedures
Am I A Candidate For Brow Lift Surgery?
Drooping brows, asymmetric brows, glabellar creases in between the brows, and excess skin on the upper eyelid may be signs that you have brow-related issues and are a candidate for a brow lift. Ideal patients should also have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure and be able to weigh the benefits and risks associated with undergoing surgery.
What Is The Brow Lift Procedure Like?
The brow lift procedure may take between one and two hours to perform and is often performed with a local anesthetic in conjunction with a general anesthetic. The procedure involves removing or altering the muscles and tissues of the forehead that cause the furrowing or drooping, resulting in a smoother forehead. Dr. Burgess will make a series of small incisions across the top of the head, just behind the hairline. Using an endoscopic camera and instruments, she will lift the forehead skin and remove, or alter, the underlying muscles and tissues to create a smoother finish. With sutures, the brows are elevated and secured under the skin. Finally, Dr. Burgess will use stitches to close the incisions. If the brow droop is too great, then an open brow lift is performed with a longer incision along the hairline. Dr. Burgess will evaluate you and discuss these surgical options with you before surgery.
