Dr. Repta’s conservative techniques help to minimize discomfort after brow lift surgery. The procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia, so patients will not feel any pain. During recovery, mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common side effects in the treatment area for the first week or two, but these can be well-controlled with prescription pain medications provided by the doctor. Most clients find that the benefits gleaned from brow lift surgery outweigh the drawback of temporary discomfort during early recovery.

Temporary numbness is a common and normal side effect after a brow lift. Swelling typically subsides within 2 weeks, at which point the patient can expect to begin making everyday facial expressions again, including raising their eyebrows. Numbness will gradually wear off over the coming months. Most patients find it worthwhile to undergo a brow lift despite the side effects due to the remarkable anti-aging benefits that the treatment provides.

Both a brow lift and a facelift provide optimal rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits. However, a brow lift addresses the upper third of the face, while a facelift addresses the lower portion of the face from the cheeks down. A facelift can help improve definition in the jawline, correct sagging in the cheeks and jowls, and smooth away wrinkles, creases, and folds. A brow lift can correct sagging eyebrows and furrows in the forehead, revitalizing an angry, sad, or disgruntled facial expression. The two treatments are often combined to deliver comprehensive improvement for the entire countenance. Another difference to consider is that recovery for a facelift will take slightly longer than for a brow lift.

With certain surgical techniques, the hairline may be pushed back, making it appear as though the forehead is larger. If this is a concern, speak with the doctor about it during your private consultation. He can adjust his approach accordingly to deliver a personalized outcome that meets your anti-aging needs without compromising the size of your forehead.

While brow lift surgery is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks. Potential complications can include infection, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in sensation. Dr. Repta takes precautions to minimize these risks by using advanced techniques and ensuring that patients follow post-operative care instructions closely.

Most patients notice significant improvement in their brow area within a few weeks after surgery, as swelling subsides and bruising resolves. However, the final results may take several months to fully manifest as the tissues settle into their new position. Dr. Repta will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal outcomes.

Yes, a brow lift can be effectively combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or facelift surgery, to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Discussing your goals during the consultation will help Dr. Repta create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all areas of concern while maximizing your results.

A brow lift offers long-lasting results, though the natural aging process will continue over time. With proper care, including a healthy lifestyle and consistent sun protection, your rejuvenated appearance can endure for many years. Dr. Repta’s precise techniques ensure outcomes that stand the test of time.

The duration of a brow lift varies depending on the specific technique used, but most procedures take one to two hours. During your consultation, Dr. Repta will provide a detailed timeline so you’ll know exactly what to expect on the day of your surgery.
