A surgical browlift eliminates lines by directly addressing the underlying muscles that create the wrinkles and furrows, and by eliminating excess skin on the forehead.
Depending on the extent of your wrinkling, your surgeon can take either an open approach with an incision across the crown of the head or just within the hairline (which is necessary if excess skin will be removed and there is already a high forehead); or it can be performed endoscopically with the assistance of a surgical scope through small incisions at the temples, within the hairline and sometimes in the upper eyelid crease.
Within a week or less, you’ll see a higher, more youthful-looking brow, and after about two to four weeks of initial swelling, the brow settles and begins to look more natural.
