Will combing forehead lowering + brow lift reduce the effectiveness of either procedure?

Question

Hi. I am after a surgical forehead lowering procedure. This will be combined with a brow lift. I have 2 questions. 1. Does doing the 2 procedures at once reduce the effectiveness of either procedure ? 2. One surgeon is doing this surgery via dissolvable stitches and one surgeon is doing this with staples. Which is better or more effective for this combined procedure ? Thanks so much.

Irregular Trichophytic Browlift and Hairline Lowering done together will Not reduce the effectiveness of either if properly done. This is based on my experience since inventing this and having done more than 5000. I use Prolene stitches to prevent accidental breaking of absorbable sutures. Make sure you see the surgeon’s final Hairline without a visible scar with the hair pulled back!

Forehead reduction and brow lift do very well as combined procedures, and the combination of these two should not reduce the effectiveness of either one.

Good luck!

Brow lift with forehed height reduction is one procedure. In some cases a surgeon can place resorbable Endotine plates to keep eyebrows in stable position for several weeks/months; plates are resorbed within 6-8 months. In the same procedure, high forehead can be reduced by removing the skin along the hairline. I hope this will help. Good luck.

Both procedures are usually perform together under one anesthesia with one recovery period. Neither one of the procedures reduce the effectiveness of the other procedure. In our practice, we use a combination of permanent sutures holding the eyebrows in position, and sutures and staples which must be removed within the first week after that surgical procedure
