Brow Lift Hyannis, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to elevate sagging brows and restore a more youthful appearance to the upper face. Patients often discover that perceived excess eyelid skin is actually the result of drooping brows, particularly in the lateral portion.

Procedure Overview

During a brow lift, the forehead skin is carefully released and repositioned to create an aesthetically pleasing result. Surgical incisions can be strategically placed:

• Above the hairline for patients with low or normal hairlines
• Directly at the hairline for patients with high hairlines

Surgical Details

Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery typically performs brow lifts under general anesthesia. Most patients can return home the same day with minimal discomfort, which can be managed with oral medications.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery follows a structured timeline:

• First post-operative visit occurs the day after surgery
• Light exercise can resume after two weeks
• Full exercise program possible at six weeks
• Work absence typically ranges from one to two weeks

Important Considerations

Patients should note that insurance does not typically cover brow lift procedures. Individual results may vary, and a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Seth R. Jones can help determine the most appropriate approach.
