Brow Lift

Every procedure requires some for of anesthesia and traditionally this is a General Anesthesia, meaning you are completely knocked out.  At Facial Beauty, we utilize cutting-edge local anesthesia procedures where you are not fully knocked out but completely comfortable. The advantage of Local Anesthesia that there are less complications & faster recovery time. Our procedures generally take from an hour and thirty minutes to no more than three hours, allowing us to dramatically reduce any risk involved in the procedure.

The biggest drawback to major facial surgery is the downtime.  While recovery time can vary case by case, generally patients can return to work between seven to ten days after the procedure.  We do everything we can for our patients to get you back to your family and back to your daily life of activity & exercise as soon as possible.

At Facial Beauty, we offer low monthly payment plans and pre-qualifications for any additional treatments, affordability has never been easier. If you’ve ever let financing stand in your way of a new you, come talk to us about options you may not know you had. We can even do pre-approvals over the phone so please feel free to contact us anytime.

A message about brow lifts from Dr. Santos: 

Like everything else, the brow too will show the signs of aging.  Specifically, there is an overall tendency for things to “go south.”  What this means for the forehead and brow area is that the brow descends over the orbital rim or the eye socket, vertical lines form in the forehead, and an overall appearance of aging manifests.  This makes sense; why should things only go south in the chest, abdomen, and lower face?  The truth is that the brow also sags, and we all can lose the overall appearance of youthfulness and pleasantness with this time-related change.  The result is that there can be an angry, tired, worn, fatigued, aged, and worried appearance.  You can touch your lateral eyebrow with your fingers and see what its relationship with the bony orbital rim suggests.  Naturally, in its aesthetically pleasing position, the eyebrow will reside several millimeters above the bony rim for woman, and with men it will be just above or at the bony rim. However, with time, this relationship will change and the eyebrow will descend, particularly the lateral onethird of the eyebrow, which aesthetically resides in a higher position than the medial two-thirds of the brow.   The brow can become relatively flat, rather than peaking laterally.  With time and after sagging and descending, the droopy eyebrow will develop an overall appearance of aging, angriness, and a wearied and concerned appearance.  Many individuals who come in for aesthetic rejuvenation of the eye area will have brow sagging (ptosis), and often will lament that they are oftentimes told that they look angry, or tired.  When looking into the mirror, one will see sagging, and a tired appearance, but sometimes it is difficult to identify the reason-when focusing on the lateral “hooded” brow area, one can see the problem.

The brow lift specifically addresses the aging of the eyebrow and the lateral descend of the eyebrow by repositioning the lateral brow higher to a more aesthetically pleasing and  more rejuvenated position.  The eyes will appear more open and alive!  The angry and sad appearance is softened.

Sincerely,
Dr. David Santos
