If you are interested in getting a new look, you may be wondering about the procedure's before and after results. This page will give you information about Endoscopic and One-stage Brow Lifts. It also includes information about hairline lowering. We'll also talk about the incisions required and recovery times. After reading this article, you should be able to make an informed decision regarding your cosmetic surgery. But before you decide to schedule your surgery, there are a few things you should remember.
Endoscopic browlift
Endoscopic brow lifts are becoming more popular. You may be concerned about how the recovery process works. This procedure offers many advantages. In one to two weeks, you can resume your normal work or activities. However, in some cases this process can take weeks to complete. Here's what you can expect. In general, the healing process is much shorter after this procedure than with other plastic surgeries.
Because of gravity and the sun's exposure, a patient's brows will naturally droop. As skin ages, the underlying support structures of the skin break down, resulting in a sagging appearance. In this area, lines and wrinkles are often more obvious. You can avoid these problems by maintaining a well-maintained, high-quality eyebrow at rest. A good brow should not be higher than the inside. A good brow lift procedure will adjust the underlying muscle layers and tighten loose skin.
One-stage forehead/hairline reduction/sensitization procedure
Performing a one-stage forehead reduction/hairline lowering surgery can result in a more natural appearance. While not every plastic surgeon offers this procedure, Dr. Aharonov is experienced in this procedure and has performed hundreds of them successfully. After a video consultation Dr. Aharonov will evaluate your face and make recommendations that are based on your individual anatomy and desired outcomes. You can return to work the same day if you desire.
Typical recovery after a one-stage forehead reduction/hairline lowering surgery involves a small amount of downtime and a light compression dressing. However, swelling and bruising will not usually occur. There may be some temporary numbness in the area behind their hairline that lasts several weeks. For up to seven days, patients may feel some numbness around their hairline.
Incisions for surgery
The type of forehead plastic surgery performed will vary in the types of incisions required. For example, a foreheadlift involves making an incision at the hairline to separate the forehead and underlying skin. Afterward, the excess skin is removed and the incision is closed with sutures, clips, or staples. Patients will then be provided with bandages to protect against infection and swelling.
A forehead lift is most commonly performed with multiple scalp incisions that are less than one inch long. To view the muscles underneath the skin, the surgeon uses an endoscope. This is a small camera attached to a TV monitor. The surgeon will then lift the eyebrows with temporary fixation screws, or sutures, after removing the underlying tissue. These procedures are highly recommended for patients who want to minimize scarring.
Recovery time
To fully heal from forehead plastic surgeon, it will take around a week. Patients should refrain from lifting or bending over for at least 2 weeks. Also, avoid hitting their head with anything. A few days after surgery, patients should not lie on their stomachs. Some people feel some numbness and tingling following surgery. Avoid lifting heavy objects. Smokers should avoid lifting objects, including heavy suitcases or cars, as smoking may delay healing and increase the risk of complications.
Swelling, which is common during recovery, is proportional according to the extent of surgery. There may be swelling in the cheeks, face, and eyes. This is the body’s natural response to surgery and can peak between 2 and 3 days after surgery. Once the skin heals, swelling should decrease quickly. Swelling can stop people from smiling and can cause temporary discoloration to the eyes.
