Brow Lift for Portland

Correct a Sagging Forehead

Models

Forehead and brow wrinkles can mistakenly be interpreted as stress, anger, fatigue, or sadness. Additionally, the aging process can cause the eyebrows to descend, creating a "heavy" brow. A brow lift from Portland's Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery improves the shape and position of the eyebrows and reduces wrinkles in the forehead. Most patients do not find a brow lift to be particularly painful, and recovery to full activity is usually complete within a few weeks.

Your Brow Lift Consultation

Patients should feel comfortable with their brow lift surgeon, and that relationship starts during the consultation. The Waldorf Center team strives to answer every question while understanding each individual's ultimate goals. Procedure details, preparation necessities, and potential results will be discussed, and the consultation will also include an examination.

The Surgery

The brow lift can be performed using one of several different techniques. The traditional technique requires a long incision to remove extra skin and to treat the muscles. This is only recommended for certain patients.

The most common technique utilized for brow rejuvenation at the Waldorf Center is the endoscopic brow lift. This is performed with a few small incisions behind the hairline that allow the insertion of a small camera. With this camera, the muscles and tissues can be precisely visualized and treated by the surgeon.

The surgery takes one to two hours and is performed with general anesthesia. You will either go home the same day or stay overnight depending on your individual needs.
