Brow Lift 101: Everything You Should Know Now

Brow lifts or and facelifts are a remarkable way to restore youthfulness to a face showing the natural signs of aging. This procedure targets sagging skin on the forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids, not just altering your appearance but enhancing the overall vibrancy of your face. As with any body modification, it’s essential to arm yourself with comprehensive knowledge before deciding on a brow lift. Understanding the options, potential benefits, and risks involved allows for a more informed and confident decision-making process.

Different types of brow lifts

There are two main types of brow lifts, each suited to different needs and goals. The classic lift involves a continuous incision around the hairline, enabling the surgeon to reposition your brow. In contrast, the endoscopic lift entails several smaller incisions, targeting sagging skin with precision. Both techniques involve adjusting tissues and removing parts of muscles to enhance results. Given that these are surgical procedures, a thorough pre-screening is vital to ensure your eligibility for treatment.

What to Expect from Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lift surgery is a streamlined process, usually completed within one to two hours and requiring minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your routine without significant disruption. You’ll receive IV sedation and anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable procedure. Recovery times vary, but most patients are back to their normal selves in about ten days.

The ideal candidates for this surgery are:

Non-smokers
Individuals in good health with no major medical conditions
People with realistic expectations about the results

The Benefits of Choosing a Brow Lift

A brow lift is more than a cosmetic change; it’s a step towards enhanced self-confidence. It can positively affect your social life, professional image, and personal relationships. The procedure provides noticeable improvements to the forehead, eyelids, and eyebrows.

According to the American Society for Plastic Surgeons, the benefits include:

Reducing wrinkle lines across the forehead, nose bridge, and between the eyes
Improving frown lines
Raising sagging brows to a youthful position
Realigning eyebrows for a refreshed look

A brow lift not only revamps your appearance but also changes how you feel about yourself. It’s crucial, however, to weigh the risks against the benefits. If you are a good candidate for surgery, don’t let aging dictate your appearance when there are effective treatments like brow lifts available.

Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lift surgery doesn’t require extensive downtime afterwards, making it easy to schedule a procedure without disrupting your normal routine. The procedure usually lasts between one to two hours, depending on the look you’re aiming for. You can expect IV sedation and anesthesia during surgery to make treatment as painless as possible. The recovery time after the procedure varies from one patient to another but can last for ten days or more.

Ideal candidates for surgery include:

Non-smokers
Individuals with no major medical conditions
Individuals with realistic expectations

Why choose a brow lift?

A brow lift has the power to enhance more than just your physical appearance. It can also boost your self-esteem (like getting a good facial or haircut, but longer lasting), which can have positive ramifications in your social, professional, and love life years after you initially undergo surgery. The physical benefits are also impressive, of course, and you’ll see noticeable results in your forehead, eyelids and eyebrows.

The American Society for Plastic Surgeons also lists these benefits:

Reduction of wrinkle lines across the forehead, bridge of nose and between the eyes
Improves frown lines
Raises sagging brows
Places eyebrows in youthful position

Getting a brow lift can improve your aesthetic and change the way you feel about yourself. But it’s always important to weigh the risks and the benefits before undergoing any treatment. If you’re healthy enough for surgery, there is no reason to let aging get the best of you when viable treatment options are available.

NeoGraft vs. Strip Method: Which Hair Transplant Method is Better?

NeoGraft vs. Strip Method: What is the best hair transplant procedure?

Thinning hair and hair loss affect millions of people, regardless of age or sex. Thinning hair and premature balding, which is heavily influenced by genetic and hereditary characteristics, can lead to low self-esteem and self-confidence. However, hair loss does not have to be permanent, and, in many cases, can even be reversed.
Technological advancements in the areas of hair transplant and restoration offer an alternative to the embarrassment of early hair loss. Two of the most common methods for hair transplants are the traditional strip harvesting technique and the newer NeoGraft® technique. But which is the best hair transplant procedure?

The Different METHODS of hair replacement

Strip method: The traditional strip harvesting technique, known as Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), involves removing the follicular units from the donor area as one group. The strip method allows the follicular units to be extracted intact, in their genetic form. Each follicular unit contains 1 to 4 hairs (the average is 2.2 hairs per follicular unit). The strip method requires expert surgical skill so the patient will achieve the best result while causing the least trauma to the donor site. It also allows healthy hair to harvest faster.
NeoGraft® method: The newer NeoGraft® method automates the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. The NeoGraft® method takes the hair out from the donor area with a cookie-cutter looking punch knife that has a diameter of approximately 1mm. This tool is inserted around one hair or a group of hairs known as a follicular unit. The tool makes a short, quick, rotational spin on the scalp to extract the hair follicle. This is done blindly, since the surgeon cannot see the root of the hair while inserting the tool into the scalp.

PROVEN Hair transplant procedures VS. NEW AND TRENDY

Strip method of hair transplants:

The strip method has a proven track record of success and provides natural looking permanent results.
NeoGraft® method: The NeoGraft® method is a newer and less proven procedure, often with increased surgical time, lower precision, and a higher cost to the patient.

AFFORDABILITY of the strip method of hair transplants

Strip method hair transplant costs: On average, the strip method cost $4 per graft.
NeoGraft® method hair transplant costs: On average, the cost is $4-6 per graft.
The average patient requires approximately 1,500 grafts.

Hair GRAFT QUALITY

Strip method hair transplant quality: Since the hair strip is taken out in a surgical suite with a well-positioned and visible surgical field and magnification, the strip method creates quality grafts with the best viability. This allows the surgeon to precisely remove the necessary follicles intact, which avoids trauma and the likelihood of cutting across and destroying hair follicles.
NeoGraft® method hair transplant quality: Graft quality is not as good compared to the strip method because the surgeon assumes that the direction of the punch knife and the hair shaft are the same and that the knife will not cut the hair across and damage it. The hair’s roots may change direction slightly as they are buried in the skin so the chance of cutting across the roots while taking them out is increased.

HAIR SELECTION

Strip method hair selection: The strip method makes it possible to choose the best donor hair. By taking out donor hair from the back of the head, which never grows completely bald in most people, the donor hair is resistant to the damaging effects of testosterone. The testosterone hormone is responsible for genetic hair loss. This healthy donor hair doesn’t care about its new location and stays in place since their genetic material makes them more resistant to hair loss.
NeoGraft® method hair selection: Donor hair is often taken from the broader section of the skull, and theoretically, even elsewhere on the body. Variety does not translate into quality since randomly chosen hair is not necessarily more resistant to hair loss.

POST Hair Transplant SURGERY HAIR STYLE

Strip method : While it takes a few days for the incision at the donor site to heal, the surrounding hair is not affected by the strip method. No haircut or change in styling is needed.
NeoGraft® method: In large hair transplant sessions, the entire donor area must be shaved to access the follicles. You may need to sport a new hairstyle for a while.

Hair Transplant Procedure SCARRING

Strip method scarring: The small linear incision resulting from the harvesting is usually covered by your hair. During subsequent procedures, the first scar is completely removed. With the strip method, the patient is left with only one incision, regardless of the number of procedures.
NeoGraft® method scarring: If the first NeoGraft® session requires 2,000 grafts, you’ll have 2,000 tiny round scars. If there are follow-up procedures this number will double, triple, and so on. With each subsequent session, the scarring with the NeoGraft® method increases. Moreover, if genetic hair loss continues or you happen to require several procedures, thousands of fine scars may become visible in the thinning donor area.

Who are the Best Candidates for Breast Implants?

Whether you’re looking to enhance your breast size or reshape them, breast implants can help you achieve the look you desire. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to know all the facts of breast implant surgery (commonly referred to as breast augmentation) and understand if it is right for you before making a decision. As with any aesthetic procedure, it’s important for you to make your decision based on your own goals and needs, not those of others. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help you determine whether or not you are a good candidate for breast implants.

Am I a good candidate for breast implants?

In general, most patients who seek breast implants are good candidates if they:

Are in good physical and emotional health
Are aware of the risks and complications associated with breast implants
Have realistic expectations for the results of surgery
Have strong motivations for undergoing the surgery

If you are considering breast implants, schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she will evaluate your health and discuss your reasons and expectations for surgery to help determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.

Are there any reasons why I could not get breast implants?

Most individuals in good physical and mental health are good candidates for breast implants, but there are a few factors that may keep a plastic surgeon from recommending breast augmentation. These include:

Current pregnancy or lactation
Illness or infection
Breast cancer or abnormal mammogram
Unrealistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the surgery
Smoking or vaping

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your plastic surgeon will recommend you wait to have breast augmentation surgery. A surgeon will want to wait and see the new natural size and shape of your breasts post-pregnancy and breastfeeding before deciding on what type of implant will be best for you.

If you have a history of breast cancer or abnormal mammogram results, speak with your doctor first before considering getting a breast augmentation. While neither of these will necessarily preclude you from getting the surgery, they are important factors to consider and your doctor will want as much information as possible.

In addition to the myriad health concerns associated with smoking, it also decreases oxygen supply and constricts blood vessels, both of which can be dangerous in regards to surgery and recovery. If you do smoke, you will be required to abstain for several weeks prior to your breast augmentation to help ensure the surgery can proceed safely.

Lastly, unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery may keep your surgeon from recommending breast implants. While breast implants can dramatically alter your figure, there are limits to even a skilled surgeon’s capabilities, and any idea of “perfection” is likely not possible. Be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor so they can provide realistic advice on the outcomes that are achievable with your current anatomy.

What are the different reasons someone would get breast implants?

Breast augmentation is a personal decision and the reasons a woman may elect to have it are wide and varied. Some of the most common reasons include:

To achieve a more proportionate figure
To restore volume lost after weight loss or pregnancy
To correct a difference in breast size
To improve self-esteem and confidence
Clothing fit issues—particularly with swimwear and form-fitting tops
Breast reconstruction following a mastectomy

When is the best time for breast augmentation?

The best time for breast implants is going to be unique for every individual, and there are a number of health and lifestyle factors to consider before determining when it’s right for you.

Best Age for Breast Augmentation

In general, the best age for breast augmentation is when a woman is in her 20s or 30s. This is because a woman’s breasts are typically fully developed by this age, and she is likely to have a good amount of natural breast tissue to work with. Additionally, a woman in her 20s or 30s is likely to have more skin elasticity, which can help the implants settle into place more smoothly.

However, a woman of any age in good health can be a good candidate for breast implants. Breast augmentation remains a popular choice for women in their 40s, 50s and beyond.

*Note: Silicone gel implants are only FDA-approved for use in women over the age of 22. Patients younger than 22 may still be candidates for breast implants if fat transfer or saline implants are used instead.

Before or After Children

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are also considerations for planning when to have breast implants. If you are considering pregnancy in the near future, it is best to wait until after the baby is born and you have finished breastfeeding before having augmentation surgery. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause changes to your breasts that could potentially affect how the implants will look.

However, if you are not planning on having children for several years, you may wish to have breast implants beforehand and enjoy the benefits the implants bring, and most women can safely and successfully breastfeed even with implants. Later, after you are finished having children, you may need to have revision surgery to restore the shape and size of your breasts.

Breast Reconstruction

Many women elect for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. There are several techniques that can be used to restore your breasts, such as implants, tissue from other parts of your body, or both. Breast reconstruction can be done immediately following the mastectomy or delayed for several months or even years, depending on what is right for your unique situation.

What are the types of breast implants?

If you are a good candidate for breast implants and decide that augmentation is right for you, your plastic surgeon can help you determine which type of implant is best for your body to achieve your desired results. The primary types of breast implants are saline, silicone, and gummy bear.

Saline Implants

Saline breast implants have a silicone shell that is filled with sterile salt water. They are available in different sizes and shapes, with the most common being the round implant. Teardrop-shaped implants are also available which create a more natural look.

Pros:

Less expensive than other types of implants
Require a smaller incision for placement
Less likely to leak, but if it does the saline is safely absorbed into the body

Cons:

Can cause rippling or wrinkling of the skin
May not feel as natural as silicone implants
If it does rupture, it will need to be replaced immediately as the breast will be deflated
Will likely need to be replaced after 10 years

Silicone Implants

Silicone breast implants are made of a silicone shell filled with silicone gel. They are used to increase breast size or fullness or to improve the symmetry of the breasts. They are available in different sizes and shapes.

Pros:

Look and feel more natural than saline implants
Less likely to cause rippling under the skin

Cons:

Not available to patients under 22
More expensive than saline implants
If they rupture, you may not know about it, leading to problems with silicone leaking into the breast
Will likely need to be replaced after 10 years

Gummy Bear Implants

Gummy bear breast implants are made of a special type of silicone gel that is more cohesive than traditional silicone gel implants. This means that they hold their shape better and are less likely to leak or rupture if there is a problem with the implant. Gummy bear implants also feel more natural than other types of breast implants.

Pros:

Less likely to leak or rupture than other types of implants
Retain their shape better over time
Less likely to cause rippling or wrinkling of the skin
Have a more natural feel than other implants
Can last up to 20 years

Cons:

Can be slightly more expensive than saline or traditional silicone implants

Dr. Tim R. Love of Love Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics was one of the first plastic surgeons in the country to reintroduce gummy bear implants to U.S. patients, and has remained a pioneer in techniques and procedures that produce safe, long-lasting, and natural-looking breast augmentation results.

What are the alternatives to breast implants?

If you are not deemed a good candidate for breast augmentation, or don’t feel the procedure is right for you, there are alternatives to help you achieve the body you want, such as:

Breast lift: A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that increases the perkiness of the breasts and improves their overall shape. It is often done in conjunction with breast implants to achieve optimal results, but can also be done without implants.

Fat grafting: Fat grafting is a process whereby fat is removed from another area of the body via liposuction and injected into the breasts to increase their size. This is often used as an alternative to implants for patients who do not want foreign objects in their body or those who are seeking a more natural look.

Keeping Your Hair Healthy After a Hair Transplant

For people suffering from hair loss or thinning, hair transplants can provide a promising and successful solution for long-term, natural-looking hair regrowth. Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure during which healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp are removed and transplanted into areas of the scalp where hair is thinning or balding, encouraging thicker, fuller-looking hair across the entire scalp.

Tim R. Love, M.D., of Love Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics is a board-certified plastic surgeon who is nationally renowned for his skill and experience in hair transplantation, replacement, and restoration procedures. He worked closely with Dr. O’Tar Norwood, a pioneer in hair transplantation and restoration, and has remained at the forefront in his field as one of the country’s leading hair transplant specialists. Dr. Love has performed hundreds of hair restoration procedures in his 30+ years of experience, treating each patient with the individualized approach and compassionate care they deserve in the face of hair loss and balding.

If you have recently undergone a hair transplant or other type of surgical hair restoration procedure, taking care of your hair is now more important than ever. While hair thinning, hair loss, and baldness are heavily influenced by genetics, there are some steps you can take to help care for what you do have.

Understanding the Hair Growth Process

Hair undergoes a cyclical process characterized by three distinct phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen.

The anagen phase is the active growth stage during which cells within the hair follicles divide, generating new hair fibers. The duration of the anagen phase varies from person to person and can span anywhere between two to seven years.

Following anagen, the catagen phase serves as a brief transitional period. In this phase, the hair follicle undergoes contraction and readies itself for the telogen phase, which is a period of rest. The catagen phase typically lasts around two to three weeks.

Telogen represents the resting phase in the hair growth cycle. During this time, the hair follicle remains inactive for a duration of one to four months, though the hairs don’t yet shed. At the end of the telogen phase, the follicle reactivates, initiating the production of a new hair fiber. This process leads to the expulsion of the old hair, marking the beginning of a new cycle.

How Hair Regrows After a Hair Transplant

During the first few weeks after your procedure, you may experience shock loss, a normal—but discouraging—loss of transplanted hair. This is because during the procedure, the blood supply to the follicles is temporarily interrupted as they are transplanted from one part of the scalp to the area of thinning or balding, causing them to enter the telogen phase prematurely and shed hairs. However, though the hair itself is dead, the transplanted follicles are still “alive” and healthy, and once the follicles recover from the shock of transplantation, they will begin to enter the growth (anagen) cycle again and begin to regrow new hair.

After a hair transplant procedure, it can take up to three months for new hair to enter the anagen phase, or start growing. The rate of growth will vary for each person and depends on the type of surgery that was performed. It can take up to a year for most people to see transplanted hair fully growing in.

Following your hair transplant procedure, here is what you’ll see after…

1-2 months: Stubble-like growth appears as the hair follicles begin to take root.

3-4 months: You will start noticing new hair growth of very fine and soft hairs.

5-6 months: Transplanted hairs will be growing thicker and darker in color, and you should start seeing new coverage.

7-9 months: New hairs are starting to thicken and lengthen, though they are still fragile.

12 months: Transplanted hair is starting to look and feel like natural hair, with the same thickness, color, and texture as your pre-transplant hair.

Caring for Your Hair After a Hair Transplant

Taking care of your hair helps prevent oil buildup, breakage, and split ends, which can weaken the hair. The ideal hair care routine varies with every individual, but some basics can help keep your hair—whatever its personality—healthy.

Less is more, especially when it comes to your shampoo. Although it’s designed to clean your hair, too much can strip your hair of the natural oils and minerals that keep it healthy and shiny. Many hair experts even discourage daily shampoo, suggesting you instead opt for an all-natural dry shampoo. You also want to avoid shampoos with excessive chemicals or fragrance. Look for products free of sulfates, parabens, dyes, GMOs, and mineral oils. These ingredients can dry out your hair, and cause buildup that dulls the shine.
Be gentle with wet hair, as it’s far more fragile than dry hair. Instead of using a harsh cotton towel to dry your hair, opt for an old t-shirt. Try to comb and detangle your hair before you wash it and use a wide-toothed comb when you still have conditioner in your hair.
Beat the heat, as much as you can. While completely cutting out heat treatments may not be possible, limiting them is best. Invest in a hairdryer that has a cooling option, or a straightener that works without being over 300 degrees. Heat-protective products are also recommended.
A softer style works for your hair better than harsh up-dos. Loosen ponytails, braids, and any other hairstyle that puts a little stress on your roots. Additionally, try to limit products that make your hair too stiff or too big and opt instead for a little texture.
See your stylist regularly to trim split ends. Cutting off those dead ends every six to eight weeks promotes healthier, faster hair growth.

Eating a healthy diet can also help keep your hair healthy after a hair transplant procedure, and there are a variety of foods that you can incorporate into yours that will give your hair the nutrients it needs to grow full and strong, including:

Fish, such as salmon, tuna, or trout, are rich in protein and Vitamin D, as well as omega-3 fatty acids
Walnuts are also rich in fatty acids, biotin, and vitamin E which help protect your hair against damage.
Eggs, in addition to protein, have zinc, selenium, sulfur, and iron, which carries oxygen to your hair follicles.
Blueberries are abundant in vitamin C, which is critical for circulation to the scalp.
Spinach has beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C—all of which benefit scalp oils.

Sometimes, hair damage and loss can be attributed simply to age or other genetic factors; other times, it’s a result of daily habits. If you’re eating right but still having trouble with your locks, you may want to have your vitamin and mineral levels checked and take supplements as recommended by your doctor.

In addition to limiting product use, try to choose silicone-based products to limit the amount of damage done to your hair. Leave-in conditioners are also excellent for protecting hair and don’t forget about following the product directions precisely. Finally, be sure you trust your hairstylist—whether it’s a cut or a styling, they shouldn’t be hurting your scalp by doing their job.

ASK DR. LOVE: What makes BODYtite and FACEtite more effective?

BodyTite and FaceTite by InMode are the first and only FDA-approved devices to sculpt the body and face by removing unwanted fat while shrinking and tightening skin simultaneously. With the use of radio frequency assisted liposuction (RFAL), these minimally-invasive devices create smoother, tighter skin with quick recovery.

As the expert in these procedures in Oklahoma, we have asked Tim R. Love, M.D. to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about BodyTite and FaceTite.

Q: What do BodyTite and FaceTite do?

While liposuction can reduce the amount of fat on your body, it doesn’t always provide the lift that you need to ensure a tighter and slimmer result. Fortunately, BodyTite and FaceTite’s RFAL technology combines the benefit of fat melting and radio frequency assisted liposuction to tighten the skin for long-term effects.

“InMode’s BodyTite and FaceTite RFAL tighten the skin and soft tissue on overlying areas that are traditionally treated with liposuction alone,” Dr. Tim R. Love, MD said. “I can selectively remove fat and contour various areas of the body and face to create as good a result as an invasive surgery, but with no scars or significant downtime. Thus, BodyTite and FaceTite by InMode provide the ‘lift,’ in addition to the traditional benefits of liposuction.”

Q: In what areas can InMode’s RFAL be used?

“All body areas can benefit,” Dr. Tim R. Love, MD said. “These areas include: Face, neck, breast, abdomen, bra line, back, arms, flanks, hips, thighs, inner thighs, knees, and calves.”

Q: So this means I can avoid long incisions and painful recovery periods by choosing InMode’s RFAL BodyTite/FaceTite technology?

In a word – absolutely! This procedure is much less invasive than similar procedures (such as Thermi-tite), so pain and recovery times are shorter with ultimate results seen within three to six months.

“It is correct to think of using InMode’s RFAL BodyTite/FaceTite to aid in providing greater results with less invasive procedures,” Dr. Tim R. Love, MD said. “Bipolar RFAL in the form of InMode’s BodyTite/FaceTite has been shown to ‘shrink’ skin and soft tissue up to 40 percent.”

“The remarkable outcomes allow ‘lift’-like results without the incisions or the downtime of recovery from a traditional face lift, neck lift, breast lift, abdominoplasty, arm lift, or thigh/knee lift procedures.”

Q: Does BodyTite/FaceTite require hospitalization or general anesthesia?

“No, BodyTite and FaceTite can be safely and comfortably performed under local anesthesia and gentle oral sedation,” Dr. Tim R. Love, MD said.

Q: In what ways are BodyTite and FaceTite superior to similar procedures?

“InMode’s patented BodyTite and FaceTite are the only FDA-approved bipolar RFAL systems in the world,” Dr. Tim R. Love, MD said.

“The bipolar nature is the unique piece providing an extremely powerful tool with very accurate temperature control to ensure safe, effective treatments,” Dr. Tim R. Love, MD said. “Competing technology, such as Thermi-tite, is monopolar in nature. It is slow, far less effective and offers less safety in terms of temperature control.”
