The Brow Lift – Northern Virginia

Brow Lift Plastic Surgery Northern VirginiaThe Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts provides advanced facilities for cosmetic surgery in Northern Virginia. The facility is led by Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V), who is a board certified facial plastic surgeon. She is focused on providing safe and effective surgical and non-surgical solutions for facial rejuvenation. She makes use of the latest, proven techniques to reduce signs of aging and other discrepancies in the upper face, mid-face, lower face, and the neck.

Dr. V is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. With her special focus on facial plastic surgery, she can provide safe and effective facial solutions for patients in Chantilly, Fairfax and nearby areas in VA. She received her medical degree and completed her residency training at the University of Minnesota. She was chosen for a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA.

Types of Brow Lift

If the brows have become furrowed and the skin is drooping over the upper eyelids, it may need to be corrected both for cosmetic reasons as well as to restore clear vision. Brow lift procedure may be performed independently or in combination with facelift or other upper face procedures. Two main types of brow lift techniques include the following:

Classic Lift: This technique involves a single incision that begins at the level of the ears, and continues up around the hair line. The surgeon will take care to keep the incision hidden in the hair life so that the scar remains inconspicuous.

Endoscopic Lift: This technique involves multiple small incisions in the scalp. The plastic surgeon will insert a miniature camera or a scope on the end of a slender tube through an incision, and introduce another surgical device to make the necessary changes. Smaller incisions in this technique make it less invasive, resulting in quicker recovery, and minimal scars.

Brow Lift Consultation

Patients are advised to be candid about their innate desire and need for a cosmetic surgery during the initial consultation. This will help the surgeon recommend appropriate facial procedures to meet the patient’s expectations. The surgeon will also evaluate the general health condition and medical history of the patient. The entire forehead area will be evaluated along with muscular resilience and skin elasticity. The patient may clarify all concerns and doubts about the procedure at this stage, and make an informed decision about the surgery.

Preparation

Any facial plastic surgery procedure requires minor adjustments to the lifestyle. If the patient is a smoker, an important adjustment will be to quit smoking for several weeks before and after the surgery. Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications may have to be stopped temporarily. Patients with long hair that fall in the front may have to get them trimmed. Patients with very short hair may have to grow and maintain hair in a way to hide potential scars.

Brow lift is a relatively minor surgery, but any surgery still needs all the necessary pre-op precautions and preparations. Before leaving home, the patient should keep a stock of gauze and clean towels. Sufficient quantity of ice cubes, containers to carry ice or cold water and plastic covers to hold ice should be kept at home. Pillows may be necessary if the surgeon recommends the patient to keep the head elevated for a few days.
Recovery

Recovery will depend on whether brow lift is performed alone or along with other procedures, as well as the technique used. Stitches will be removed within a week in most cases. Patients can expect to have bruising and swelling in and around the area of surgery for a few days. Pain relievers may be prescribed for a few days.

Some patients may also experience tingling sensation and numbness for a few days, which will go away on its own. Most patients can resume their regular activities within a week to 10 days. The surgeon will instruct the patient to avoid vigorous physical exercise or heavy lifting for the first few weeks.

Risks

Side effects with brow lift are minimal and temporary. In rare cases, complications such as infection, conspicuous scarring, distorting of eyebrow movement or loss of sensation on the surgical site may occur. A revision surgery may be performed in such condition.

Brow Lift with Dr. V

Patients in Chantilly, Fairfax, and Northern Virginia may consult with Dr. V at the Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts for brow lift cosmetic surgery. She is a board certified facial plastic surgeon with experience in various facial plastic surgery procedures, including the brow lift.

Ultherapy2Dr. V is what she goes by but her real name is Dr. Trang Thuy Vo-Nguyen. She is a board certified plastic surgeon who conducts and offers the most state of the art aesthetic procedures that are available in this field. Her practice is in Northern Virginia. You can also schedule an Ultherapy appointment with her office. This is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment offered in Warrenton, Arlington, Fairfax, Middleburg, Fauquier, Manassas, Prince William, Loudoun, Chantilly (near Leesburg), and other areas as well.

What is Ultherapy?

Ultherapy or Ultrasound Lift is an FDA-approved non-invasive procedure to tighten loose skin in the face and neck area. The treatment makes use of ultrasound technology to lift and tighten drooping skin. It performs a dual action of supporting the existing layer of collagen in the skin as well as stimulates the production of new collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. Without involving any cuts or needles, the ultrasound waves penetrate into the targeted deeper layers.

See Ultherna Before & After Photos

People in their thirties or forties, who suffer from mild to moderate skin laxity in the facial and neck area are usually superb or ideal candidates for Ultherapy. However, it is important to remember that Ultherapy is not a substitute for facelift surgery. It is an effective alternative for patients who are either unwilling or unable to receive surgical treatment. It is typically used to lift skin around the neck, chin, and eyebrows.

How does it work?

The goal of Ultherapy is to penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis to achieve longer lasting skin tightening effect. It delivers ultrasound frequency in controlled phases to the deeper layers to induce collagen production. The focused ultrasound energy heats up the deeper layers in targeted pockets to stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen helps improve skin elasticity, tightens the sagging areas, and adds more volume to make the skin appear smoother, fuller, and tighter.

For most effective results, a patient may have to undergo two to three treatment sessions of Ultherapy. However, the extent and frequency of treatment may vary depending on the patient’s individual needs. Effects of the treatment can last for up to a year or longer. Follow up treatments can be received after a year to extend the results for longer periods.

Procedure

At the initial consultation stage, the doctor will evaluate the current health status, age, medical history, and extent of skin laxity. The doctor will also carefully understand the unique needs and expectations of the patient regarding skin tightening and improvement in appearance. Depending on the assessment, a treatment of Ultherapy may be recommended. The doctor will explain the procedure and benefits in detail, and may show before and after images of other patients to ensure the patient has realistic expectations from the procedure.

The doctor will mark the targeted area that needs to be treated with Ultherapy. Treatment of the full face and neck may require a little over an hour. If the area to be treated is lesser, the procedure can be completed in a shorter time period. The procedure is completely non-invasive and involves no incisions or injections. However, the pain threshold level of each patient may vary. If a patient shows signs of anxiety or has a low tolerance to pain, the doctor may advise local anesthesia to improve comfort levels during the procedure.

The treatment is typically administered on the neck, brows and beneath the chin, but it can also be performed on other areas where skin elasticity is weak. The treatment is not designed to cause a radical change in appearance. The goal is to rev up the skin on the inside in a healthy and natural way so that the outcome is visible on the outside. Best results with Ultherapy are usually seen after three treatment sessions.

Different from Laser Therapy

Ultrasound therapy works in a different way compared to the traditional laser skin tightening procedures. Laser therapy primarily targets the external layers of the skin, but Ultrasound Lift involves the delivery of ultrasound frequency into the deepest skin layers. It bypasses the top layers of the skin and avoids any serious damage to healthy skin.

The goal is to deliver maximum energy to the collagen layers of the skin so that the process of new collagen formulation is initiated. The principle involved in Ultherapy is the same as what is used in fat melting ultrasound based devices. A brow lift is one of the most popular uses of Ultherapy for people who do not wish to undergo a brow lift surgery.

Downtime and Side Effects

Ultherapy does not have any of the usual risks or side effects associated with surgery. It may cause mild redness and soreness in the skin that may last for a few days. But a patient can return to work immediately after the treatment, and there is no specific downtime involved.
