About four incisions behind the patient's hairline less than one inch long is made, which is large enough for the surgeon to insert an endoscope. This allows the surgeon to view and determine tissues and muscles that need to be removed to lift the brows. Once the tissues and muscles are removed, the incisions are closed in a horizontal fashion in order to reduce scarring and for improved results.
The brow lift procedure generally takes one to two hours to complete. Most patients remain in the hospital for a night after the procedure is complete.
Although a brow lift procedure can provide very pleasing results, there are some potential risks associated with the procedure. Some of the side effects that are associated with any type of surgical procedure include bleeding, infection and swelling.
