To promote optimal healing, it is recommended to sleep with your head elevated at a 30 to 45-degree angle for the first few weeks following surgery. This can be achieved by using multiple pillows or a wedge pillow. Keeping your head elevated helps reduce swelling and improves blood circulation to the surgical area. It is important to avoid sleeping on your stomach or sides, as this can put pressure on the incision sites and potentially disrupt the healing process. Additionally, try to avoid any excessive movements or rubbing of the forehead area while sleeping to prevent any potential complications. Following these guidelines and adhering to your surgeon’s post-operative instructions will contribute to a smoother recovery and enhance the final outcome of your Brow Lift surgery.

Can a facelift correct vision problems caused by sagging eyelids?
A facelift primarily focuses on rejuvenating the lower face and neck, targeting issues such as sagging skin and wrinkles. While it may indirectly improve the appearance of sagging eyelids, it is not specifically designed to address vision problems caused by drooping eyelids. If you are experiencing vision issues related to sagging eyelids, it is advisable to consult with an ophthalmologist who can evaluate your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options.

Will insurance cover the cost of a brow lift?

What are the different types of brow lifts?
There are several types of brow lifts, each targeting specific aesthetic concerns. The most common types include the traditional or coronal brow lift, which involves an incision along the hairline; the endoscopic brow lift, which uses smaller incisions and a camera for a minimally invasive approach; and the temporal or limited incision brow lift, which focuses on the outer portion of the eyebrows. It is crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual needs and recommend the most suitable brow lift technique for achieving your desired results.
