Healing after an open brow lift

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD answers: Will open brow lift scar heal nicely?

I am considering an open brow lift to correct my hereditary low brow and high forehead. I've been keeping my brow elevated with Botox in the past 5 years. I have total trust in my surgeon and had several consultations.

My concern is the long scar that will be very close to my hairline. He said he will follow my natural hairline and my coloring--very fair--should allow for me to have nice healing. I have concerns if I will always need to wear bangs after this. Any thoughts from the surgeons who do open procedures and the patients who have had them would be greatly appreciated!

You should heal well as long as you follow your post-op instructions and avoid smoking.  For heavy a heavy brow, a coronal brow lift should be the procedure that you need.  However, without seeing any pictures I cannot tell if you could also be a candidate for a limited incision brow lift or endoscopic brow lift.  Nonetheless, the scarring is manageable and well hidden by you hair after an open brow lift.  Good luck!
