Will brow lift surgery leave scars?
As brow lifts involve incisions, they will leave scars. However, the visibility of forehead lift surgery depends on different factors, including the size and place of incisions, your hair thickness, and your wound healing quality. A well-trained surgeon will try to make the incisions well within your hairline to hide the scar as much as possible. Be sure to ask your surgeon about this before your surgery. Moreover, avoiding smoking and exposure to sun rays for a few weeks following the surgery can help the wound heal better and make the scar less noticeable.
Is a brow lift permanent?
The results of brow lift surgery are long-lasting or permanent. However, this does not mean that the surgery will stop the aging process. Your skin will always get new wrinkles as you age and it is impossible to stop that altogether.
