Brow Lift in Westchester by Andrew Kleinman
Brow Lift / Forehead Lift Surgery in Westchester
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a plastic surgery procedure that can revitalize the forehead area and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Dr. Andrew Kleinman, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Westchester, specializes in brow lift surgery to improve:
- Drooping eyebrows
- Forehead creases and furrowed lines
- Frown lines
- Hooding over the eyes
This procedure can help patients who appear angry, sad or tired due to these signs of aging. Dr. Kleinman offers both traditional and less invasive endoscopic brow lift techniques.
Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery
Most brow lift patients are between 40-60 years old, though the surgery may be appropriate for other ages as well. Ideal candidates should:
- Be in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about the results
- Want to improve the appearance of their brow and forehead area
Dr. Kleinman works closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and desired outcome.
The Brow Lift Procedure
Brow lift surgery typically takes 1-2 hours and may be performed using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The two main techniques are:
Traditional Brow Lift
Uses a coronal incision shaped like headphones that runs behind the hairline across the top of the forehead.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Uses 3-5 short incisions behind the hairline for a less invasive approach.
During the procedure, Dr. Kleinman removes excess tissue, alters forehead muscles, elevates the eyebrows as needed, and trims excess skin to create a smoother, lifted appearance.
Recovery After Brow Lift Surgery
The recovery process after a brow lift involves:
- Some bruising and swelling, typically fading within 2-3 weeks
- Possible headaches, numbness and discomfort managed with medication
- Bandage removal within 1-2 days
- Stitch removal within 1-2 weeks
- Return to work and normal activities within 7-10 days
Recovery after an endoscopic brow lift is generally shorter and less extensive than a traditional brow lift.
