Browlift
HOUSTON, TX
Drooping eyebrows, frown lines and wrinkles across the forehead will give you this undesirable appearance. The physicians at ACPS are experts in such innovative procedures as the lateral and endoscopic eyebrow lift.
Lateral Eyebrow Lift
This facial rejuvenation procedure elevates the lateral component of the brow, avoiding that startled look that can occur with some conventional procedures.The incisions are hidden inside the hairline and are virtually invisible. This procedure may be performed as an outpatient under local or general anesthesia.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Another innovative technique used to minimize these signs of aging is the endoscopic brow lift. The endoscope is a camera that helps guide the surgeon in repositioning the forehead muscles.
With the endoscope, three or more small incisions are made just at the hairline or in the upper forehead wrinkle. This technique also results in minimal scarring. Your surgeon will determine where the incisions are placed depending upon the position of your hairline. The brow lift also elevates the eyebrows and helps to minimize the “crow’s feet” in the corners of the eyes.
The endoscopic brow lift is a two hour procedure, performed under local or general anesthesia. There will be no visible scars and stitches can be removed in 7-10 days. Bruising and swelling is minimal and the patient can usually return to work in 7-10 days. New advances used by The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery have made the brow lift a simple procedure with results that last from five to 10 years longer than previous methods.
