Brow Lift

Women and men from the Tijuana-San Diego area who come to Dr. Edgar Eduardo Santos at Tijuana Rhinoplasty for a brow lift often complain of looking tired or grumpy, even though they feel energetic and happy.

This procedure elevates heavy or sagging brows and smooths forehead wrinkles and frown lines.

With a board certification in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery and formal fellowship training in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Santos is exceptionally qualified to help you achieve the look you want in comfort and safety.

Elements to Consider

Your forehead lift consultation with Dr. Santos is a thorough, unrushed appointment during which he carefully evaluates the characteristics of your face to determine the degree of sagging.

Whether your sagging brow is due to aging or heredity, a customized brow lift surgery by Dr. Santos can reposition your brow to a more desirable placement in order to reduce a tired or angry appearance.

Also during your consultation, Dr. Santos takes photographs of your face so he can continue the process of planning your surgery even after you’ve left the office.

Although most brow lift patients are men and women over the age of 40, younger people also pursue the surgery, especially if they are genetically predisposed to a “heavy” brow.

You may opt to combine your brow lift with another facial rejuvenation procedure for a more comprehensive result. Some popular options include facelift and eyelid lift.

Your Brow Lift

There are several different approaches for brow lift surgery, and the one that’s most appropriate for you depends largely on your goals. 

Dr. Santos tailors his surgical plan to meet your precise needs, and he keeps you apprised of what you can expect throughout every step of the surgical process.

Brow lift surgery is performed while you are under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Often, the surgery also results in minimal visible scarring through the use of advanced endoscopic

Recuperating at Home

You may return home on the day of your surgery after a brief period of observation. Recuperation following brow lift is typically rather smooth, but you should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks after surgery.

If your job isn’t particularly physical, you can plan to return to work after about a week.

If you chose to undergo brow lift at the same time as another procedure, such as facelift, your recuperation may be a bit more involved.

Long-Term Results

The results of your brow lift can last for many years, provided you maintain healthy sun protection habits and avoid smoking and other activities that can diminish the quality of your skin.

However, cosmetic surgery can never completely halt the aging process. Over time, you may notice wrinkles and laxity developing, but this process typically takes many years.

You will continue to look younger than you would have without surgery.
