Here is a quick overview of how Dr. Myint can help and what kind of brow lift results you can expect.

What is a brow lift?

Today, with new cosmetic developments and surgical techniques, there are various types of facelifts to customize what a person needs. Everyone ages at their own pace and has a unique face. While some may experience more facial aging in the lower jowls or neck area, others may see more wrinkles and saggy skin in the upper quadrant of their face. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a popular cosmetic surgery to tighten lax skin in the upper section of the face to achieve a more youthful, smoother look. Dr. Myint is a highly trained and experienced Oculo Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon who has achieved great success over the years with brow lifts to help patients with the following:

• Raise eyebrows to a more youthful, alert position
• Reduce the appearance of frown lines or vertical lines that develop between the eyebrows
• Smooth out forehead wrinkles
• Shorten the distance between the brow and hairline area to minimize the appearance of a large forehead

Will a brow lift help minimize a large forehead?

If you feel self-conscious about a prominent forehead, there are two different kinds of cosmetic surgery to consider. Forehead reduction surgery is a procedure that involves moving a patient's hairline down to join an incision made in the forehead to close the gap, thus giving patients a smaller forehead appearance. The skin is sutured together in a way to minimize scarring and discreetly placed in the hairline. Any scarring should be hidden once a patient's hair grows back. If a patient's forehead appears longer because of low brows, forehead reduction surgery will not raise the eyebrows. However, Dr. Myint can perform a brow lift, at the same time as the hairline lowering surgery, which involves manipulating the muscles and lifting the brows higher to help make the forehead appear shorter.

Forehead rejuvenation and the recovery

Most patients return home within a few hours to start the recovery process. You will also need to do the following:

• Follow post-operative instructions for how to recover properly
• Keep the incision area clean to reduce the risk of infection and reduce swelling
• Return to the office to have the sutures removed in about a week or two
• Return for a post-operative checkup in about 2 – 4 weeks
