Im a 30yr old model(female-caucasian/hispanic). 6wks ago had facelift (modified volume adjusting) & lateral brow lift. My cheek elasticity was lax & brows were drooping (wanted both to be lifted & tightened). Dr is trying to convince me I look better, but Preop pics & video show very little difference & I still have same issues-lax skin & droopy brows, plus a bad brow scar (not sure why it was done so prominently knowing my line of work). Will time lift it more & make tighter? What about scar?
Answer: Brows down after Brow Lift
Brows will not raise after the surgery. They either are set in place or more likely will drop further over time as the tissues relax. The scar is quite noticeable but will fade with time. With out seeing you in person, it is difficult to assess your situation. If you are unhappy in a few more months, then I would suggest consulting with a few very experienced surgeons to see if there are any other options to help you out. By experienced I mean facial specialists who perform more than 100 facelifts and browlifts every year. Good luck.

Answer: Browlift will not lift more over time, you may need another browlift
Brow lift and face lifts don't really get tighter after the surgery. Typically they only get looser with time. You may need a brow lift / face lift again and pulled tighter this time. The other option includes fillers and fat injections. The Young Volumizer is an alternative to your rejuvenation. The scarring can be improved for you as well if you go through a revision of your browlift.

Answer: Brow Lift/ Face Lift Heal Time
Usually the final results of a facial surgery require a period of time, somewhere between 4-8 months depending on how aggressive or what type of procedure was preformed. Scars are initially red are more visible and usually they look much better around six months to 1 year out of surgery. In your case there has been only six weeks since surgery, so it is very early to make any decisions about revision or the visibility of scars or the result itself. I think the best advice in your case, is to wait six months and reevaluate your result and the scar.

Answer: Prominent browlift scar will improve for up to 12 months The prominent temple incision will improve for up to 12 months on its own. In the meantime not wearing your hair pulled back will help camouflage this area. If you were to consider revision surgery, I would recommend a total of 6-12 months before proceeding. The type of browlift would need to be assessed by your surgeon in the office as it's impossible to make this assessment by looking at photos. In the meantime, Botulinum toxin treatment to the lateral brow can give you a couple of millimeters of lateral brow lift and reduce hooding of the lateral brow slightly. This might be an option for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Answer: Lateral brow lift
It is very difficult to comment on your problem without having a chnace at feeling the tissue laxity around your brow. I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. If he fails to address your problems, then you need to be seen at around 6 months for a possible revision. Best of luck.
