My Browlift Story - Boca Raton, FL

ORIGINAL POST

My research in to Browlift/hairline shortening...

My research in to Browlift/hairline shortening began when I learned that my migraines responded Botox treatment. I consulted with many well known, highly reputable surgeons in Boca, Delray and Fort Lauderdale. I chose Dr. Cabrera, because when I met him, I instantly knew he actually read my medical history which is critical when having any type of surgery. His explanations of the surgery was superior to all. Dr. Cabrera has a skilled and gentle hand. I am now 5 days post op, and my experience to date is exactly how it was projected to be. Aside from the extreme itchiness I have at the incision site, I am extremely pleased. Some staples come out tomorrow...

I just moved it in for you. Thanks for your awesome updates! I'm happy for you that this worked so wonderfully. Your forehead looks great!

I'm conducting research for revision work. I read your surgeon's response to someone asking about botched work and I was shocked/appalled. I thought his response was insensitive/arrogant. Two qualities I hope to never encounter again in a doctor.

I'm curious about the migraine/Botox brow lift connection. I was just approved for my Botox injections from my nsurance. Thank God! I was coming on to research a brow lift and found your post. Please tell me more. Has the brow lift helped your migraines? Is it a treatment? Can we get insurance to cover it? (Lol, had to ask)

Could you elaborate more on the Botox/Migraine connection?

Washing and cleaning insiscion

Saw the Doctor for my second post op. Crystal, one of Dr. Cabrera's amazing staff members removed about a 1/4 (maybe less) of the staples. Dr. Cabrera had a quick look and said that I am progressing nicely. They told me that it is crucial to wash the hair every day until my next appointment (Wednesday/Tomorrow). Its very strange washing the hairline and I honestly do not like that part very much. I have decreased feeling in the hairline area (very normal), along with some sensitivity and extreme itchiness.
Feel free to ask me any questions....

Thank you for all the information! It looks great! How long did the itching last? Did you have a headache after the procedure?

i woke up from surgery head ache free. I went in with severe chronic migraines. Head ache from tightness started about a day later. It was clearly surgery pain. In my case, I do continue to have right sided migraines... That is not from surgery, but I feel it can and will be corrected sometime in the future. Best procedure ever. Good luck.

I wonder if the itchiness is due to the wound healing?? Probably so ;)

Most of the itching is due to healing.
