Browlift Surgery in Dallas

PROMISES

The brow lift is a method to surgically elevate the eyebrows to an attractive and youthful position. This reduces forehead wrinkles, eliminates excessive upper eyelid skin, and brightens the appearance of the eyes!

PITFALLS

A good operation when indicated and properly done, however :

• Over-correction of the browlift can result in a “deer in the headlights“ appearance.
  
  
• Most frequent complication is recurrence of the brow sag which the reason for so many devises to hold the brows in position, including skeletal fixation (screws in the skull), suture support, and other devices.
  
  
• Many techniques are used to correct brow sag, however there is no single outstanding technique. In fact, “A respected author concluded in a recent scientific article that management of eyebrow ptosis (sag) remains a most challenging problem and that there is no single superior solution for brow ptosis currently available”
  
  
• Most browlifts are done at the level of the bony skull, which places the surgeon at mechanical disadvantage (lifting skin from the deeper layers)
  
  
• Scalp scars may be visible and often the hairline is elevated by surgery.
