Endoscopic Brow Lift with Dr Howard Webster (Melbourne)
I am now about 4 weeks post op after my endoscopic brow lift with Dr Howard Webster. I am so, so happy with my results that I wanted to share my positive experience!
Why I Got This Surgery:
My canthal tendon was always downturned, which gave my eyes a kind of sad, sleepy look. This became more pronounced with age. One side had dropped more than the other. It bothered me.
When I went in for an initial consultation with Dr Webster, he was very enthusiastic about the brow lift. He has an energy about him - you sense he enjoys doing this work and he is proud of the results he achieves for his patients. My overarching feelings when I left the initial consultation were: I felt a strongly positive feeling about getting the brow lift like it was the definite right choice for me, and I felt like Dr Webster was the right doctor for me and I was in safe hands.
The Results
My results have absolutely blown me away. My eyes look so much better as the brow lift also lifted the corners of my eyes. My brows are at a nicer height with a bit of an arch which I didn't have before. I'm honestly SO, SO thrilled.
The Recovery
Dr Webster is an extremely skilled surgeon, and I had hardly any bruising - just one little bruise under my left eye. I did have swelling for a few days, which gradually resolved over the next 2 weeks. The incisions have been painful - probably more so than I was expecting, I read some reviews on this site of this procedure which suggested only "some discomfort" after the surgery. It wasn't like that for me - I wouldn't use the word "discomfort", I'd use the word "pain"!!! All that to say - this surgery is not a joke; it hurts! Strong pain relief the first few days helped to get me though and after that I just tried to make do with Panadol, nurofen, ice, and looking in the mirror at my fresh new appearance to soothe the pain. I also have been doing hyperbaric oxygen sessions daily for a week or two as that apparently improves wound healing. 4 weeks in, it's finally starting to get better and evidently everything will feel totally fine in the next couple of weeks or so.
In terms of work - I was working (from home) 2 days after the surgery. I could leave the house 1 week after the surgery. I have now started light exercise and feel like myself again.
To conclude and recap:
1. Dr Webster is amazing. He is friendly, he has good energy, and most importantly he is exceptionally good at what he does.
2. I am thrilled with my results. My brow lift lifted both my eyes and my brows, corrected some asymmetry that was bothering me, and makes me look better and younger.
3. The surgery is a serious undertaking, because (at least in my case) it was quite painful at the incisions, which I could manage during the day, but which made sleeping trickier - I've had to sleep on my back basically. But despite these things, it's DEFINITELY worth it.
