If you're considering a forehead lift in San Francisco ...
The Best Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery
The specific goals you wish to achieve with your brow lift
surgery should take
into consideration the unique features of your face. For example, incisions are
typically concealed above the hairline in the scalp. If you’ve got thinning
hair, or if you’re bald, you may still benefit from the procedure.
Dr. Mosser will discuss the alternative forehead lift techniques that can be
used, as well as the best options to achieve your goals.
Non-surgical rejuvenation techniques won’t give
you the same dramatic results of a brow lift
surgery, though
they can delay the need for one. For example, before undergoing
a brow lift, many people prefer ongoing treatments with
Botox. San
Francisco facelift clinics offer a variety of
solutions, which Dr. Mosser will be happy to explain.
If you think a brow lift would improve your appearance,
you should consider the following:
- Do you have any medical conditions that could impair healing
from surgery?
- Are you a non-smoker?
- Are you committed to
proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, including moderate amounts of physical
exercise?
- Can you fully disclose
your health history to Dr. Mosser, including current medications, your use
of vitamin and herbal supplements, as well as your use of alcohol, tobacco,
and other drugs?
Dr. Mosser performs brow lift surgery in several locations
in San Francisco. Plastic surgery procedures
may be scheduled for his office at 450 Sutter in Union
Square, as well as California Pacific
Medical Center,and St. Mary’s
Medical Center in San Francisco.
The specific forehead lift surgery you undergo will
take into consideration your skin, your muscle tone,
your forehead height, and your bone structure. For
example, one procedure may entail a surgical video
device called an endoscope and
special instruments inserted into small incisions in the
hairline. These instruments allow the underlying tissue
and muscle to be repositioned or removed, correcting
the source of creases and furrows in the forehead.
On the other hand, a drooping
brow may or may not require
an endoscope. Incisions at the temples, in the scalp, and
possibly hidden within the natural creases of the eyelid
allow the surgeon to correct frown lines between the brows
or surrounding the bridge of the nose.
Brow lift surgery may take up to two hours. Dr. Mosser
will discuss the anesthesia to be used prior to surgery,
based on the specific procedures he will use as well as
your own needs. In addition, Botox may be prescribed prior
to surgery in order to help muscles fully relax before
they are repositioned and tightened.
