A brow lift from Handal Plastic Surgery in Boca Raton Florida can help you look better, feel better, and make you act with more confidence. Plastic surgery can be a pretty big leap for most people, and that's a good thing! You absolutely should take your time and figure out whether something like a brow lift is right for you. However, if you're insecure about wrinkly skin above your eyes (especially if you're older), there are a ton of good reasons to consider a brow lift. The procedure is simple, non-invasive, has few risks, and no one will be able to tell. A brow lift may even help you earn more money!
Your forehead frames your face and accents every expression you make. Forehead wrinkles are tied with crows feet for the top thing that makes people look miserable, even when they're happy as can be. Have you ever been asked why you look like you're grumpy or sad, even though you're not? It could be because you have sagging forehead skin that's dragging down the rest of your face. As humans age, the elasticity in their skin decreases. When the elasticity in your forehead drops past a certain mark, your brows begin drooping and the muscles in your forehead overwork themselves to hold your eyelids open. Has anyone ever told you that you have deep lines in your forehead? Hooded skin over your eyes? Weighty, furrowed looking brows? You may want to consider a brow lift. Besides, who wouldn't want to look a decade younger?
Even if you don't care about your brow wrinkles, looking younger and more attractive can help you advance your career. According to research done by the University of Texas, attractive people earn 3 to 4 percent more money over their lifetime than their less attractive counterparts. Those small 3 to 4 percentage points can equal $230,000 or more in total lifetime earnings. That's enough for several luxury cars or a moderately sized house in most states. The aforementioned statistic is just the median. If you work in a field where your appearance is at the forefront such as sales, modeling, business, or broadcasting, a brow lift could end up earning you much more than that. Instead of thinking of a brow lift as a cosmetic procedure, think of it as an investment. It just may have an impact on your financial future.
Browlift surgery is a very simple process for patients. To start, you'll meet with Dr. Handal to discuss your desired results. You'll work one on one to develop a plan and expectations for your surgery. Dr. Handal will assign a date, and give general instructions on how you should prepare for the procedure. Brow lifts can be, and often are, performed with other surgeries to enhance the finished result (if that's something you're interested in). Each procedure follows a similar protocol. Dr. Handal will begin with an anesthetic. He will then use the classic or endoscopic method to achieve your desired result. Both procedures involve discreet incisions along the hairline to remove the drooping and tighten your skin. Every brow lift procedure is different, depending on the extent of your elasticity loss and the unique properties of your face. The duration of the surgery can vary as well, but brow lifts are always a relatively short, outpatient procedure. For more details on the surgeries Dr. Handal performs, please click here.
Anything involving the word "surgery" usually entails a few weeks to a month of recovery time. But brow lifts are a pretty innocuous procedure as far as plastic surgeries go. Most patients can resume normal, non-strenuous activities in 5 days or less, and report no swelling within 1 to 2 weeks. The vast majority of patients report the post brow-lift pain as being mild at most as well. If you're able to work using a computer from home, you may be able to work in a day or two.
Brow lift surgery is popular because of its low risk to high reward ratio. The drawbacks of a brow lift are minimal. The incisions create very little scarring that is well hidden due to the scar's location on the head. The risk of complications is minimal due to the small size of the incisions. The recovery time is short due to the non-invasive nature of the surgery. Very few patients experience complications beyond the normal one to two weeks of swelling.
Everyone who's ever considered cosmetic surgery has been afraid of getting that "plastic surgery" appearance that's common in older celebrities. The synthetic surgery look is caused by the overuse of invasive, complex surgeries as well as inexperienced or unskilled surgeons. Brow lifts are very simple and don't involve altering the natural contours of your face in any way. The goal is not to make you look like someone else. The goal is to make you look like a younger and more rested version of yourself.
The benefits of a brow lift are immediate and long-lasting. There's no need for follow-up procedures or frequent touch ups. Patients can expect their brow lift to benefit their face for a decade or longer. The results can be further enhanced with other outpatient procedures like botox and fillers, but they aren't necessary. Choosing the right surgeon is the most important part of any cosmetic surgery. If you have sagging brows, deep forehead lines, or droopy eyelid skin, please get in touch with brow lift specialist Dr. Handal in Boca Raton, FL via phone or email. You have nothing to lose—only confidence to gain.
