Reaching the big 3-0 makes a lot of women nervous, particularly because many signs of aging start to make themselves known around this time.
Perhaps you’ve noticed a few faint creases in your forehead in your late 20s. As you enter your 30s, though, this frustrating feature becomes all the more prominent. Due to the long-term effects of gravity, the eyebrows may start to droop, giving you a heaviness around the eyes that can make you appear tired or sad. In addition, wrinkles or deep furrows may develop running horizontally along the forehead as your muscle go into overtime to counteract the natural sagging that occurs along the brow. Combine this with the frown lines that can appear between your brows and it’s easy to see why anyone would consult a Long Island plastic surgeon. If you’re experiencing these frustrating signs of aging, you are not alone. Countless women on Long Island are struggling with the same insecurities, and many have found relief at Marotta Facial Plastic Surgery on Long Island.
There are a number of ways to turn back the clock and rejuvenate an aging forehead.
One of the most well-known options we offer at Marotta Facial Plastic Surgery is Botox®, which can treat horizontal lines, frown lines and even slightly raise the drooping eyebrow. A Long Island cosmetic surgeon can also provide a more permanent solution to treat these problems in the form of a forehead lift.
A procedure can restore the brows to a more youthful position, decrease excess upper eyelid skin and soften forehead furrows or wrinkles for a gentler and more youthful look. Dual-board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Marotta uses the most advanced techniques to achieve this result: the Endoscopic Brow Lift. This approach involves minimal incisions hidden in the hair and a small camera to guide your Long Island plastic surgeon as he works. This ensures that you can reap the benefits of your Long Island plastic surgery without unsightly scarring.
At Marotta Facial Plastic Surgery on Long Island, we offer the Endoscopic Brow Lift to address the following:
At our Long Island facility, the anesthesia for a Brow Lift is deep sedation. A Brow Lift may take several hours or longer depending on whether your Long Island plastic surgeon performs other cosmetic procedures at the same time. If performed by itself, this form of plastic surgery takes about one hour and a half. Dr. Marotta most frequently combines an Endoscopic Brow Lift with an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), or it may be included in a mid-face or temporal lift. This endoscopic procedure entails using incisions hidden in the hairline and a small camera to guide the process. In doing so, Dr. Marotta restores the brows to their natural position and weakens the frowning muscles with minimal scarring.
Immediately after your plastic surgery on Long Island, your face may be fitted with bandages, tapes, and surgical drains to keep swelling down. These will be removed during your first postoperative visit with Dr. Marotta. During your recovery time, which usually spans a week for a brow lift alone but may be longer if other procedures are performed, we recommend head-of-bed elevation and minimal physical activity. Our Long Island patients generally report little pain after this surgery, but may have some mild discomfort that can be easily treated with oral medication. Over the course of your recovery, you will have regular postoperative visits with Dr. Marotta to ensure that you are healing properly.
