Will Medicare cover a brow lift needed after craniotomy because the nerve was damaged? (Photo)

ChuliinternetOct 21, 2020

I had a craniotomy in Oct 2019 for removal of a benign meningioma. Immediately post op I was unable to raise my right eyebrow. The nerve was cut. Will Medicare cover a brow lift to fix it? Also will both eyebrows be done?

To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a...

Hairline (Trichophytic) brow lift is the best option to maintain, or even lower your hairline. Endoscopic brow lifts will certainly lift the hairline, that is if the plan is to actually lift the brows. Although I used do most of my brow lifts endoscopically 15 years ago, I now perform 95% of my...

A brow lift (Endoscopic or temporal) will certainly raise the brows like Bella Hadid's, however the eyelid shape is not going to be changed predictably. You will need canthopexy/canthoplasty, likely combined with lower lid retraction repair for a permanent, predictable result. It would be a...

In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow,...

Don't buy something you don't need just because it is on sale. Neither a browlift or a temple lift is right for you. You will regret those choices. What you need is an honest, detailed, in person consultation. Yes we are still doing those types of consultation (with precautions). Your photos...

Hi Funny7535 The temporal brow lift procedure has the dual purpose of elevating the eyebrows while taking off the pressure from the upper eyelids that causes them to appear more closed off. Bruising can be expected for 2-3 weeks. Final results should not be expected for 3-6 months. Most...
