Frequently Asked Question
How do I know if I need a brow lift?
You might benefit from a brow lift if you have drooping eyebrows, deep forehead wrinkles, or frown lines between your brows that make you look tired, sad, or angry. A consultation with Dr. Margoles can help determine if this procedure is right for you.
What are the different types of brow lifts?
There are several techniques for brow lifts, including the traditional (coronal) brow lift, endoscopic brow lift, and temporal brow lift. The best method for you will depend on your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What is the recovery time for a brow lift?
Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 7 to 10 days after a brow lift. However, avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks to ensure proper healing.
Will there be visible scars after a brow lift?
Dr. Margoles uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Incisions are often placed within the hairline or in natural creases, making them virtually invisible once healed.
How much does a brow lift cost in Greenwich, CT?
The cost of your brow lift in Greenwich, CT depends upon various factors, such as your preferred anesthesia and the extent of your surgery. Combining procedures, such as an eyelid lift, for further rejuvenation may also impact your overall cost. After your initial consultation, Dr. Margoles will create your personalized treatment plan and estimate the costs for your Greenwich brow lift.
Are brow lift results permanent?
Brow lift results typically last 10 to 15 years. As you age, the natural aging process may impact the appearance of your skin and your brow lift results. However, Dr. Margoles may recommend maintenance or other targeted treatments to help you sustain your results and revitalize your appearance.
Is a brow lift painful?
Based on your unique needs, Dr. Margoles will use either local or general anesthesia to ensure you do not feel any pain during your brow lift. After your surgery, expect some tenderness and soreness around the treatment area. Dr. Margoles will prescribe pain medication to ensure your comfort throughout your recovery. She will also provide aftercare instructions to help alleviate your discomfort, such as using cold compresses or resting with your head elevated to minimize swelling.
Do I have to stay at the hospital after a brow lift?
No. A brow lift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Following your surgery, you will be allowed to leave our medical facility to recover in the comfort of your home. You should arrange for a family member or trusted friend to drive you to and from your procedure and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours to help you with household tasks or childcare.
How long do the results of a brow lift last?
The results of a brow lift can last for many years although aging will continue naturally. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following post-operative care instructions can help prolong the results.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with a brow lift?
As with any surgical procedure, a brow lift carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and anesthesia complications. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, and numbness, which typically resolve within a few weeks.
Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, a brow lift is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facelift, or Botox injections for more comprehensive results.
How should I prepare for a brow lift?
Dr. Margoles will provide detailed pre-operative instructions, which may include stopping certain medications, quitting smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after surgery. It’s important to follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.
How soon after a brow lift can I go back to work?
During your follow-up appointments, Dr. Margoles will closely monitor your recovery and advise you regarding how quickly you may return to work. Patients can typically resume work in 1 to 2 weeks following a brow lift. Most post-surgical discomfort and swelling should resolve by this time, allowing you to resume your daily routine comfortably.
How soon can I exercise after a brow lift?
Following a brow lift, you should avoid strenuous activities or intense exercises for at least 4 to 6 weeks. However, Dr. Margoles suggests resuming light activities, such as slow walking, in 1 to 2 weeks after your brow lift. Limiting your exercise can help minimize the risk of excess swelling and allow your body the time it needs to heal without complications.
Can I get dermal fillers or Botox after a brow lift?
Yes, dermal fillers and Botox® can often enhance the results of a brow lift. Dermal fillers can help restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and plump your lips or cheeks for a refreshed, youthful look. Botox® helps reduce dynamic wrinkles associated with facial expressions. During your initial brow lift consultation, Dr. Margoles can recommend whether injectable treatments might further enhance your appearance.
How do I prepare for a brow lift?
Getting prepared for your brow lift is a simple process. During your consultation, Dr. Margoles will evaluate your medical history and ask questions about your lifestyle habits. She may suggest visiting your primary physician to have tests, such as bloodwork, to ensure you’re healthy enough for your procedure and how to proceed with certain medications. If you smoke, Dr. Margoles requires that you quit at least 6 weeks before and after your procedure to avoid complications.
