Brow lift surgery has the potential to change your entire life. It can restore the youthfulness of your eyes, improve your facial appearance, boost your confidence, and give you a chance to improve an overall quality of life.
However, if you are considering getting the surgery, it is important to first visit a brow lift surgery clinic and familiarize yourself with the procedure to understand what to expect throughout the whole experience. This article has all the steps from beginning to end. Check it out.
Initial consultation
The very first step to any successful procedure is always a comprehensive consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Debraj Shome takes time to consult with the patient, giving them a chance to discuss their concerns and what they want to achieve.
A couple of tests may also be done to determine a good candidacy. The patient must be generally healthy to ensure optimal results and avoid further complications during and/or after the procedure.
3D facial mapping and design
After the consultation, the surgeon will perform 3D facial mapping to capture the details of the patient’s facial features. This step is crucial and is done through state-of-the-art technology to create a digital representation.
The facial mapping will allow the surgeon to design a customized brow shape that complements the patient’s facial features. He will consider factors such as the brow arch, positioning, length, and thickness to ensure that he achieves the desired results in the end.
Numbing and incision
A qualified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Debraj Shome of The Esthetic Clinics will first administer local anesthesia to make sure the procedure remains painless and comfortable for the patient throughout. Once the patient is comfortable, the surgeon begins the process.
He carefully and strategically makes an incision along the creases of the eyes to ensure minimal scarring and aid in a smooth healing process. After he makes the necessary adjustments, he then moves on to sculpting and implantation.
Implantation and sculpting
Brow lift surgery involves the implantation of artificial hair strands or biocompatible micro-implants, which are strategically placed into the eyebrows to make them look fuller and more defined. The surgeon keeps the patient involved the entire time, working together in real-time to ensure they achieve the desired outcome.
Healing and recovery
The healing process is a big part of a brow lift surgery. Proper care after the surgery is crucial to minimize the risk of complications and ensure a smooth healing process. Patients can expect to experience some side effects such as pain, bruising, swelling, and minor discomfort.
However, these symptoms can be easily managed using prescribed medications such as painkillers and antibiotics. A qualified surgeon will also give a list of post-operative care instructions.
Patients may be asked to avoid strenuous activities for a while as the eyebrows heal to avoid the risk of complications. A series of doctor’s appointments may also be scheduled to monitor the surgical area and ensure healing as anticipated.
It is important to immediately notify your surgeon in the event of abnormal reactions, extreme bruising, or pain to get the needed medication. Delays in such cases may lead to worst-case scenarios.
