Endoscopic browlift
If you're considering having an endoscopic brow lift, you might be wondering about the recovery process. There are many benefits to this procedure. In one to two weeks, you can resume your normal work or activities. Sometimes, the procedure can take weeks or even months. Here's a look at what to expect. It is more common for this procedure to heal faster than other forms of plastic surgery.
Gravitation and sun exposure can cause brows to droop. As skin ages, the skin's supporting structures are less strong, which can result in skin that is sagging. Lines and wrinkles become more noticeable in this area. You can avoid these problems by maintaining a well-maintained, high-quality eyebrow at rest. A good eyebrow should be slightly higher than its inner counterpart. A good brow lifting procedure will adjust the layers of muscle and tighten loosening skin.
One-stage forehead reduction/hairline lower procedure
One-stage forehead and hairline reductions can help you look natural. Although not all plastic surgeons offer this procedure, Dr. Aharonov has performed hundreds of them with success. After a video consultation, Dr. Aharonov will examine your face and make recommendations based on your unique anatomy and desired outcome. If you choose, you can return immediately to work.
The typical recovery time after a one stage forehead reduction/hairline-lowering surgery is a short period of downtime with a light compression dressing. While swelling and bruising may occur, it will usually be mild and temporary. Some patients may feel numbness around their hairline for several days. Typically, there will be some numbness in the area behind their hairline for up to seven days.
Surgical incisions
The types of procedures that are performed for forehead plastic surgeries vary. For example, a forehead lift involves making an incision below the hairline to remove the forehead skin and underlying muscles. The excess skin is then removed, and the incision closed using staples, clips or sutures. The patient will then be given bandages to keep swelling and infection at bay.
For a foreheadlift, the most common procedure involves several small scalp incisions. Each of these is less that an inch long. The surgeon then uses an Endoscope, which is a tiny camera device attached to the television to view the muscles under the skin. After the underlying tissue is removed the eyebrows will be lifted with temporary fixation screw or sutures. These procedures don't leave any visible scarring, and are recommended for patients who wish to minimize scarring.
Time to recover
To fully heal from forehead plastic surgeon, it will take around a week. Patients should not bend over or lift any heavy items for at most two weeks. Additionally, they should avoid hitting the head with objects. It is also important to avoid sleeping on one side for the first few days. A few people experience some numbness or tingling after surgery, and it is best to avoid lifting heavy objects. Smokers should refrain from lifting heavy objects (such as suitcases or cars) because smoking can slow healing and increase the chance of complications.
Swelling can be a normal part in the healing process. It is proportional with the degree of surgery. You may notice swelling on your cheeks, nose, and eyes. This is the body’s natural response to surgery and can peak between 2 and 3 days after surgery. After the skin heals, swelling will quickly decrease. Swelling can make it difficult to smile and cause temporary eyelid discoloration.
