Browlift
Forehead Surgery

Frown lines, a furrowed brow or drooping forehead can often make you look sad, tired or angry.
A forehead or browlift, may be the answer. Browlifts can also be performed in conjunction with a facelift or eyelid surgery, depending on what your goals are for your appearance.

How It Works
Forehead procedures are performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. You will sleep through the entire process and have no recollection of the procedure.

Dr. Carney uses an endoscopic technique, which limits incisions and results in less bruising and swelling, and a quicker recovery than traditional methods. Upper facial rejuvenation usually takes between one and two hours depending upon the extent of the surgery

After Treatment
After surgery, you will remain at home for two to three days with your head elevated and cool compresses on your eyes. It's advisable to limit reading and television viewing to prevent significant eyestrain. Otherwise, you can resume most normal activities and shower on the day following surgery (it's fine if the sutures get wet).

Your activity level can increase on a daily basis, though you shouldn't resume strenuous exercise for two to four weeks.

Is Forehead Surgery Right for You?
Although there is no age limit to the procedure, men and women who are 40-60 years old are the most common candidates for a forehead lift. Consider this procedure if you have sagging or low eyebrows, deep horizontal forehead creases or furrows between your eyebrows or across your nose. As with any surgical procedure, patients should be physically and emotionally healthy and have realistic expectations of surgery.
