Possible Complications with Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Like any surgical procedure, a Brow Lift poses the potential of
complications. Potential risks are minimized when this procedure is performed by
an experienced Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon. However, there still are certain
potential risks that you should be aware of.
In rare instances, the nerves that
control eyebrow movement can be injured during a forehead lift. This can result
in a loss of the ability to raise your eyebrows and wrinkle your forehead. Should
this occur, additional surgery may be needed to correct this condition. Another
rare complication is the formation of a large scar at the incisions site, which may
require additional surgery to correct. There also is the potential for some patients
to lose hair along the edges of their scar.
Temporary loss of sensation along your incision line is common in patients who
receive a classic forehead lift. However, for most patients this loss of sensation is
only temporary, although it can be permanent. The potential for infection and
bleeding is very rare, but the possibility does exist.
If a complication should occur
while your surgeon is performing an endoscopic procedure, he or she may have
to abandon this approach and switch to the classic technique. Such an
occurrence has proven to be rare, occurring in less than 1% of all endoscopic
procedures.
Following all of your surgeon's preoperative and postoperative
instructions will help reduce the possibility of these complications occurring.
