COSMETIC FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY
BROWLIFT
One of the main characteristics of facial aging is the sagging of the frontalis muscle with an evident formation of wrinkles and change of the arch (fall) of supercilium (eyebrows).
This operation is performed using a special endoscope with optical fibers wherein real unseen incisions inside the scalp, the frontal muscle is repositioned and restructured achieving a more restful and a far less wrinkly forehead. The results are visible from the first moment and the postoperative swelling subsides in 3-5 days. Hospitalization is not required and surgery can be performed both under general anesthesia and sedation.
How long is the recovery time after a brow lift surgery?
Due to modern techniques, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia and the patient can return to his daily activities without any major visible bruising and swelling.
How painful is the surgery?
This surgery is virtually painless for the patient, both in its duration and postoperatively.
How safe it is for a smoker to undergo this surgery?
An essential condition for a smoker to undergo this surgery is to stop smoking for at least 1 month.
How long does the effect of s brow lift last?
This depends on the technique used, endoscopic or open, and always in relation to the special characteristics of the individual. It usually takes 5 to 10 years.
Should the patient remain hospitalized?
Not hospitalization over several hours postoperatively is required, unless the doctor decides otherwise as per case.
When is the result of this surgery considered satisfactory?
The aesthetic result of this surgery is satisfactory when it looks so natural that the intervention of a plastic surgeon isn't obvious. An experienced doctor like our plastic surgeon George Samouris has always the necessary photographic archive available which shows the quality of his work.
How much does a brow lift surgery cost?
The cost of a browlift surgery varies depending on the type of method to be used by the surgeon. Browlift is a procedure that is sometimes performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as blepharoplasty and facelift.
