It is common for people to notice lines or wrinkles across their brows and forehead as they become older. The natural aging process can create a tired or even angry look since we often use brows to express emotion. Dr. Stephen Metzinger performs brow lift surgery at our practice in Metairie to help rejuvenate the face and restore a calm, happy appearance. He uses the latest technology that leads to excellent patient outcomes. We also provide different types of brow lifts to suit each individual's needs and wishes. Here is a detailed guide on the nature of this procedure and how it can benefit our patients.
A brow lift is a cosmetic surgery that lifts and repositions the eyebrows, giving the face a youthful appearance. It targets sagging or drooping areas and often addresses wrinkles and tension across the forehead. Depending on the technique, the procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours. Tightening the underlying muscles and skin creates a smoother, more refreshed look. Brow lifts are versatile, with various methods available to address different concerns and achieve natural-looking results.
Preparation for a brow lift begins with an initial appointment where Dr. Metzinger evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, discusses aesthetic goals, and reviews medical history to ensure suitability for the procedure. This consultation often includes an examination of the forehead, eyebrows, and surrounding areas to determine the most appropriate surgical technique. Patients may be advised to discontinue certain medications (especially blood thinners) to reduce the risk of complications during surgery. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, are also addressed, as they can affect healing and outcomes.
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, reshapes the nose to improve its appearance or function. It can involve altering the size, shape, or structure to correct aesthetic concerns, breathing difficulties, or injuries. This versatile procedure is customized to achieve a balanced and harmonious facial profile.
