Why Patients Might Consider a Browplasty?
There are many reasons why a patient might consider a Browplasty, including:
- If the skin elasticity has decreased around the eyebrows
- If you have deep skin creases and folds on your forehead
- If you have frown lines – wrinkles between your eyebrows
- If you have “crow’s feet” – wrinkles around your eyes
Browplasty Surgery Outcomes
Browplasty is a common procedure. Here are some reasons why patients decide to undergo Browplasty Surgery:
- Long-lasting results – expect a Forehead Lift to last 10-12 years. This is what makes a surgical Browplasty a possible alternative to non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments. However, be mindful that results vary
- No need for repetitive non-surgical treatments
- Addresses specific facial features
- Addresses forehead lines
- Addresses eye wrinkles and frown lines
- Targets cosmetic concerns about eye and brow laxity
- Can be combined with Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) to target the eyes
- Can be done under local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia
- Takes 30 to 60 minutes to perform
- Involves a recovery time of a few days
Case: A 62-year-old female with a descent and drop in the brow that creates excess skin in the upper eyelid. A Browplasty elevates the brow.
Types of Browplasty Surgery
There are several types of Browplasty that our surgeons offer:
Coronal
Browplasty
A Coronal Browplasty is performed through a longer forehead incision often on the hairline. This Browplasty can be effective in severe cases of brow drop and heavier skin types.
Endoscopic
Browplasty
An Endoscopic Browplasty is a less invasive surgery to lift the eyebrows. It allows the elevation of the inner brow and outer brow and involves a series of smaller incisions in the hairline.
Temporal
Browplasty
A Temporal Browplasty is used to elevate the outer part of the brow. This is the most common Browplasty we perform as it is often the heavier outer brow that drops first and is the procedure of choice to address excess skin folds at the outer corner of the eye
Transpalpebral
Browplasty
A Transpalpebral Browplasty is done in combination with Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift). Your surgery will take place under general anaesthetic in the hospital of your choice, administered by one of Dr Hunt’s personally selected anaesthetists.
Recovery After Browplasty Surgery
The recovery period after Browplasty Surgery can take up to 2 weeks. During this time, make sure to take the prescribed analgesic medication to alleviate the potential pain and discomfort.
It is best to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first two weeks after Browplasty Surgery and make sure to take time off from work to allow your body to heal. Here are more recommendations for the recovery period after surgery:
- Avoid smoking, vaping, and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks
- Avoid steam rooms and saunas
- Sleep with your head in an elevated position
- Have a healthy and balanced diet
- Keep your body hydrated
To avoid risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period, make sure to follow Dr Hunt’s indications.
