The Specifics
What is a coronal brow lift?
A coronal brow lift or a forehead lift is a permanent surgical procedure to refresh, restore, and rejuvenate the forehead, brow, and eyes. A coronal incision from ear to ear within the hairline is used to expose underlying muscle and remove excess skin. Hair follicles are not damaged during this type of incision. This technique allows the surgeon to get a clear, comprehensive visual of the internal structures for significant adjustments. A coronal brow lift will produce scarring, however, it should mostly be hidden within the hairline.
What cosmetic concerns does a Coronal Brow Lift procedure treat?
Who is the ideal candidate for a coronal brow lift procedure?
The ideal candidate for a coronal brow lift has undesirable furrows or frown lines in the forehead area, a heavy brow, or furrowed lines above the nose. A coronal brow lift is most commonly performed in individuals 40 to 60 years of age. A coronal brow lift is not recommended for women with high hairlines, balding men, or those with a history of male pattern baldness.
What is the average recovery associated with a coronal brow lift procedure?
The initial wound healing from a coronal brow lift typically takes 10 to 14 days. Bruising, pain, and swelling mostly resolves in this time as well. Bandaging, cool compresses, and elevation of the head can help to mitigate swelling. Sutures/staples and the drain will be removed after one week. While recovery time varies, most patients feel comfortable in public after two weeks and makeup can be worn after one week.
