What is a Browplasty - Brow Lift?
A Browplasty – brow lift is a procedure which raises the outer part of the eyebrow and reduces wrinkling of the forehead area. Most patients who wish to undergo a brow lift procedure at our Perth clinic are experiencing sagging in their brows and want to improve their overall facial appearance. Performed by our plastic and reconstructive surgeons, Dr Cooper and Dr Robert Choa, you’ll be in good hands when you undergo a browplasty at our Perth clinic.
How is a Browplasty - Brow Lift Procedure Done in Perth?
A Browplasty – brow lift procedure is completed in a hospital by our surgeons, Dr Cooper and Dr Robert Choa. The procedure involves raising the outer part of the eyebrow to reduce wrinkling of the forehead. The lifting of the lateral eyebrows has the secondary effect of taking up excess skin of the upper eyelids and may obviate the need for doing an upper lid blepharoplasty. Our surgeons use an endoscopically assisted open temporal approach as he believes only the lateral brow requires attention in the majority of cases.
What are the Risks Associated with a Browplasty - Brow Lift Procedure?
There is a small risk of bleeding when performing a brow lift and occasionally drains may be left in the forehead. Other complications include damage to the sensory or motor nerves that supply the forehead, and sometimes very small areas of hair loss around the incision sites. These complications are usually only temporary. Unusual sensory symptoms can however be annoying in the recovery phase.
Every surgical procedure involves a certain amount of risk, and it is important that you understand these risks and the possible complications associated with them. In addition, every procedure has limitations. An individual’s choice to undergo a surgical procedure is based on the comparison of the risk to potential benefit. Although the majority of patients do not experience these complications, you should discuss each of them with your plastic surgeon to make sure you understand all possible consequences of browplasty surgery.
