brow lift surgery

Because many internet publications present unreliable information about plastic surgery procedures, it can be difficult for patients to find real answers to their questions. Dr. John LeRoy believes that people deserve helpful responses from someone who is an experienced double board-certified plastic surgeon, so he has compiled a short list of frequently asked questions. In the following, he’ll answer some of the most common questions about brow lift surgery.

What does a brow lift do?

The brow, or forehead, is an area of the face that shows signs of aging with the development of wrinkles, sagging skin and fine lines. A brow lift tightens and lifts skin to make your features look more youthful. It’s a very effective way to rejuvenate the top half of your face with one specialized procedure that provides proper brow placement.

Why does my brow sag as I age? 

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and firmness, and forehead muscles gradually weaken. This causes the brow to sag or droop over time. It’s a very common issue for both men and women, but it can cause feelings of self-consciousness.

Is there a mini version of a brow lift?

Because each person has a unique set of physical features, cosmetic procedures should be customized. This is the reasoning behind my Band Aid Brow Lift—a more subtle alternative to a traditional brow lift. A Band Aid Brow Lift has a shorter recovery time a lower cost, and is performed in-office with gentle numbing, so it’s a popular option among many patients. During an in-person consultation at our office, we can determine which procedure is the most well-suited for your needs.

What is it like to get a mini Brow Lift?

Like all of my Band Aid procedures, Band Aid Brow Lifts are performed in-office with gentle numbing since it’s less invasive than other traditional surgical options. Our whole office places a huge emphasis on patient-experience, so you’ll be treated like family during your consultation visit and procedure.

When do the results from a Brow Lift or mini Brow Lift show up?

Since each patient has different cosmetic goals and facial features, there isn’t a universal length of time that people can expect for the results to appear. The full extent of positive changes after a traditional brow lift typically take a few weeks or months, but they typically appear soon after a Band Aid mini brow lift.
