Is There Scarring After a Brow Lift?
The ability to achieve results that look natural and complementary to the character of your face is essential for any cosmetic procedure, but particularly for facial plastic surgery. With more traditional approaches, facial plastic surgery tended to produce a frozen or overly-pulled look, giving away obvious indications of aesthetic surgery. Thankfully, the field of cosmetic surgery has progressed significantly over the decades and modern facial procedures offer more elegant and naturally beautiful results than ever before. As a Top Doctor in San Diego for 20 years running, Dr. Scott Miller has the diligent skill and experience necessary to minimize scarring as much as possible after surgery. With a brow lift specifically, Dr. Miller is well-trained in the temporal and endoscopic brow lift techniques, which are less invasive and result in less scarring than a traditional brow lift procedure.
Although scarring after any surgical procedure is expected, brow lift scars can be particularly inconspicuous when the procedure is performed using the following techniques:
- Temporal: During a temporal brow lift, the outer third of the eyebrows and forehead are lifted to provide a more refreshed, brighter look. This technique is less invasive than a traditional brow lift and requires shorter incisions, which are placed behind the hairline, so there is no visible scarring afterward.
- Endoscopic: An endoscopic brow lift is performed laparoscopically, meaning a narrow lighted telescope with a camera on the end is used to visualize the internal structures of the brow. This allows Dr. Miller to perform a brow lift using short, minimal incisions concealed within the hair. Scarring is virtually undetectable thanks to this discreet incision placement.
Discreet, elegant enhancement is vital after any facial plastic surgery and enlisting a top-rated aesthetic plastic surgeon in San Diego can be key to your satisfaction with the final results.
