Professional Brow Lift Scars Treatment Options

Laser Therapy: It is a preferred method for improving scars following brow lifting. It allows surgeons to precisely target scar tissue and stimulate new skin growth. This will lead to better skin appearance with a non-invasive approach.

Microneedling: Also known as collagen induction therapy is another non-invasive technique that encourages collagen production through fine needle punctures. It’s beneficial for enhancing skin healing and blending scars with the adjacent tissue after a forehead lift.

Your new look awaits.

When to Consider Scar Revision Surgery

If a scar hasn’t improved with other methods, a plastic surgeon can determine if you qualify for revision surgery. Suitable candidates have mature scars, are not keloid-prone, and understand what revision surgery can achieve.

Steps in Surgical Scar Revision

Revision involves a plastic surgeon removing the existing scar tissue and suturing it in a way that heals more inconspicuously. Techniques vary based on the original surgical brow lifts. Direct brow lifting may be utilized to reduce tension on the new wound, aiding in scar appearance enhancement. It’s important to conduct a scar assessment after the procedure to ensure proper healing.
