Brow Lift
Brow Lift in Ottawa, Ontario | Rejuvenate Your Appearance with Dr. Photis Loizides
As we age, the effects of gravity and loss of skin elasticity can lead to sagging brows and forehead lines that make us look older, tired, or even angry. A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and rejuvenate the brow area, giving you a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Dr. Photis Loizides, a renowned plastic surgeon in Ottawa, Ontario, offers advanced brow lift techniques to help you achieve natural-looking results and renewed confidence.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is an aesthetic procedure that addresses the drooping of the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines that develop with age. Lifting the brow and smoothing the forehead can enhance overall facial aesthetics, helping you look more alert and youthful.
How Is a Brow Lift Performed?
Dr. Loizides performs brow lift surgery using the latest techniques to ensure minimal scarring and optimal results. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on your preference and Dr. Loizides’ recommendation.
Types of Brow Lifts
There are several methods to perform a brow lift, and the technique chosen depends on your specific needs and goals.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
This minimally invasive technique employs small incisions behind the hairline. An endoscope, a camera in a thin tube, is inserted through these incisions to provide a clear view of the underlying tissues. Dr. Loizides lifts and repositions the brow tissue to achieve a more youthful contour. This process delivers minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.
Coronal Brow Lift
In this traditional approach, an incision is made across the top of the head, from ear to ear, within the hairline. The forehead skin is lifted, and excess tissue is removed. This technique is effective for significant sagging but may result in a longer scar concealed within the hairline.
Temporal (Limited Incision) Brow Lift
This technique involves small incisions in the temples and is often combined with eyelid surgery. It is ideal for patients who need a moderate lift and prefer minimal scarring.
The highest standard of plastic surgery
Extensive training and surgical expertise allows Dr. Photis Loizides to consistently help patients achieve their desired, natural-looking plastic surgery results. He is a plastic surgeon fully accredited with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Loizides, please get in touch.
Procedure Details
During your consultation, Dr. Loizides will discuss the best approach for your brow lift based on your facial structure and desired outcomes. On the day of the surgery, he will carefully mark the incision sites to ensure precision. The procedure typically lasts between one to two hours.
Once the incisions are made, Dr. Loizides will lift and reposition the brow tissues, removing any excess skin if necessary. He will then secure the tissues in their new position using sutures or surgical clips. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures or staples, and a sterile dressing is applied.
Recovery After Brow Lift Surgery
Recovery from a brow lift varies from patient to patient. Most can expect to return to work and normal activities within one to two weeks. Dr. Loizides will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
Immediate Post-Surgery Care
After the procedure, you will be monitored in the recovery area until you are fully alert. It is essential to arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first night. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the forehead and eyes, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
First Few Days
In the first few days following your brow lift, it is crucial to keep your head elevated to minimize swelling. Avoid strenuous activities and follow Dr. Loizides’ instructions regarding wound care. You will have a follow-up appointment within the first week to monitor your healing progress and remove any non-dissolvable sutures.
Returning to Normal Activities
Most patients can return to work and light activities within one to two weeks. However, avoiding heavy lifting, bending, and vigorous exercise for at least four to six weeks is vital to ensure proper healing. Dr. Loizides will advise you on when it’s safe to resume your daily exercise regimen and other activities.
Long-Term Results
As the swelling and bruising subside, you will begin to see the full benefits of your brow lift. The results are long-lasting, and with proper skin care and sun protection, you can enjoy your rejuvenated appearance for many years.
