Risks of Browlift?
Hi, I´m 23 years old and my right eyebrow is not in the same position like the right one. I consider a brow lift surgery. What are risks of this surgery? And can be moving back of a hairline fixed by hair transplant? Thank you. Jerry

Browlift in a Young Male
An asymmetric browlift can be performed by several different approaches but an exam will be necessary. Provided that there are no facial nerve or muscle issues, a trial of Botox should be considered prior to deciding on surgery.

Thank you for your question. We are all not 100% symmetrical so decide if your asymmetry is worth the risks and money spent. See a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss if you are a good candidate, evaluate your options, and discuss all the side effects that could be associated with surgery. I hope this helps.

Keep in mind, these risks are not expected to occur, but it is important the patient is aware of the possibility prior to having surgery.

Browlift
Brow position can be adjusted at the time of the brow lift, which is done with a coronal lift rather than endoscopically. It is important to adjust muscles when if there is hyperdynamic activity of either the corrugator, procerus, or frontalis muscles. The hairline will need to be addressed by either raising or lowering the hairline depending upon incision placement.

Risks of Browlift?
Dear Jerry,
The browlift procedure is very safe. In someone with asymmetric eyebrows and/ or a high hairline, I have found that a traditional "open" browlift is most effective at providing improved symmetry. Further, if you have a high hairline, the tricophytic approach can lower your hairline while raising the eyebrows and improving eyebrow symmetry. However, a true assessment of the best procedure and approach would require an in-person consultation. With regard to risks, the main...

Brow asymmetry
The first step is finding out the reason for brow asymmetry, at your young age. Two possible reasons are bony facial asymmetry (with one side of the face smaller than the other) and eyelid ptosis/droopy with brow elevation/compensation on the affected side. If the problem is the latter, then brow lifting is wrong thing to do but rather eyelid ptosis surgery. If the brow if the problem, then there are various surgical options available for brow lifting.

Depending on how much asymmetry you have, an endoscopic browlift can prevent any change in hairline. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Risk of browlift surgery
Most of the time I carry out brow lifts for a situation like you describe through an incision along the front of the hairline. This will raise the brow and might also help to move the hairline forward with certain modifications of the technique. It is also possible to do the surgery through short incisions behind the hairline with the aid of an endoscope. The most common risk of a brow lift surgery is incomplete correction of the deformity. This might surprise you but...

Risks of browlift.
In 35 years of performing the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift which we developed I have not had any complication and your hairline will not be pulled back and therefore, you will not need any grafting done.

Browlift risks
The risks of a brow lift depends a bit on which type of lift you undergo. The gold standard, in my opinion, is the endoscopic brow lift procedure. This surgery uses 5 small incisions in the hair and telescopes to perform the lift. The risks from this procedure are:
weakness of the muscles of the forehead
numbness of the skin of the forehead
loss of hair at the incisions
poor cosmetic result/asymmetry
Almost everyone has some forehead numbness...

Risks
Risks of surgery always include bleeding, infection and scarring. As for browlift, other risks include numbness of forehead and scalp, hair loss at incision site, and asymmetry. These risks, and other less common risks should be discussed by your surgeon.
Depending on the technique used in the browlift, your hairline may be affected [either up or down], and hair transplantation can change the hairline as well.
