Brow Lift
We believe that beauty is in the details, and the eyebrows are no exception. At Bella Plastic Surgery, we offer non-surgical treatment options to elevate the brows, to provide a natural result.
BROW LIFT TREATMENT
As we age, ptosis of the brows, upper eyelids, and periorbital tissues become more prominent. Non-surgical interventions play a role in addressing these concerns by elevating the eyebrow and simultaneously opening up the are area, therefore rejuvenating the overall appearance of the eyes.
Our non-surgical treatment options involve the use of muscle relaxant products that block neurotransmittierss that effectively reduce muscle contraction around the eye area and forehead which will intern, result in a more lifted eyebrow and open up the whole eye region.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Generally, after the first few sessions, the results last around two months. However, after regular treatments, the results can last longer because the treated muscles have been retrained.
If you cease the treatments, your muscles will return to normal, and your wrinkles will return to their previous state—they do not become worse.
RETURNING TO NORMAL ACTIVITIES
Normal activities can be resumed soon after your treatment. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise or massaging the area for the first 24 hours after treatment.
POTENTIAL RISKS
Every non-surgical procedure involves a certain amount of risk, and it is important that you understand these risks and the possible complications associated. Majority of patients do not experience the following, but you should discuss each with your physician to ensure you understand.
Common side effects may occur immediately or may be delayed.
Pain, burning, stinging, bruising, swelling or redness at the injection site; local muscle weakness including drooping eyelids or eyebrows; swollen eyelids, skin tightness, itching or aching forehead, headaches, nausea and/or flu like symptoms.
Although exceedingly rare, in some cases the effect of the product may be observed beyond the site of treatment and the following symptoms may occur – loss of strength and muscle weakness, drooping of upper eyelid, double or blurred vision, trouble speaking, constipation, aspiration and trouble swallowing. These symptoms can happen hours to weeks after injection and are more likely to occur in patients treated with high doses or who have underlying conditions that would predispose to the above.
