Question 4

What are the types of brow lifts Dr. Rosh offers?

Accepted Answer

1. Surgical Brow Lift (Pretrichial): Incisions hidden along the hairline to lift the brows and smooth wrinkles. BrowPexy uses a lid crease incision to raise the tail end of the brow, often used with laser-assisted blepharoplasty. 2. Non-Surgical Brow Lift (Injectables): Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau to relax the muscles that pull the brows down, giving the appearance of a natural lift.

Question 5

What is the recovery time for a brow lift?

Accepted Answer

Surgical Brow Lift: Expect 1–2 weeks of mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most patients return to work within 7–10 days, though full recovery takes about 3–4 weeks. Non-Surgical Brow Lift: Minimal downtime with some mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

Question 6

Does a brow lift hurt?

Accepted Answer

A surgical brow lift is performed under IV anesthesia in the office, so you'll be comfortable throughout the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort post-surgery, which can be managed with pain medication. A non-surgical brow lift typically involves minimal discomfort, similar to injectable treatments like Botox.

Question 7

How long do the results last?

Accepted Answer

Surgical Brow Lift: Results are long-lasting, often for 10–15 years, depending on the individual's aging process. Non-Surgical Brow Lift: Botox/Dysport lasts 3–4 months before a touch-up is needed.

Question 8
