Brow Lift Revisions

Info About Reversing Browlifts in New York

If a plastic surgeon too aggressively elevates the brow and forehead during a browlift surgery, the result can look artificial, and in some cases make the patient appear startled. Overzealously performed endoscopic browlifts can also elevate the hairline to positions much higher than those seen in youth. This not only makes the patient look different but older than they truly are.

The best way to avoid these issues is to make sure that you and your surgeon have adequately discussed your goals for the procedure prior to surgery.

How Does Overdone Browlifts Happen?

Revision Browlift Hairline Example

A good brow lift lifts the forehead’s fat, skin, and muscle tissue to a more desirable position. A poor browlift, on the other hand, elevates these anatomical structures too much, which can leave the patient looking surprised, startled, or even frightened.  

The browlift is a notoriously difficult surgery to perform, and there are only a select few plastic surgeons who have been adequately trained to specialize in the procedure.

Some common problems that a brow lift can cause include:

  • Over-elevation of the brows
  • Over-separation of the brows
  • Slanted or lopsided brow shape

What are the signs of a bad brow lift?

As is the case with any cosmetic surgery, the results of a browlift, as well as the patient’s pre-and post-surgical experiences, will only be as good as the surgeon and his or her staff. There are, of course, times when a client will be dissatisfied with their results.

Here are a few telltale signs of a bad browlift:

  • The forehead and brow have visible scarring.
  • Eyebrow position is asymmetric (this is the most common complaint among dissatisfied patients).
  • The skin experiences numbness that persists well after recovery.
  • The hairline is too high.
  • There is hair loss at the incision sites.

If you have undergone a browlift and are unsatisfied with the way it looks, a surgeon can reverse the outcome either by lowering the brow and forehead to a more natural position or by restoring the brow and forehead to their original position.

Dr. Jacono has performed countless revision browlift surgeries on patients who underwent their first surgery elsewhere.  The procedure is often termed a “browlift reversal”.

How is a Revision Browlift Performed?

During a revision browlift surgery, Dr. Jacono develops the anterior and posterior scalp flaps in a subperiosteal plane. He stabilizes the lowered medial brow to the frontal bone by securing the forehead and brow skin with bioabsorbable sutures. The repositioned hairline is then secured in a similar manner. Finally, the resulting scalp defect is closed by advancing the posterior scalp flap.

Incisions

The reverse browlift is an incredibly specialized procedure that requires an extensive background in the reconstructive scalp and forehead surgery. Typically, an incision is made along the front of the hairline. The hair-bearing portion of the scalp is then brought forward, allowing the eyebrows to shift downward. This also allows an elevated hairline to lower into a more desirable, attractive position. Scarring and healing time after surgery are minimal.

Brow repositioning

To reshape and reposition the brow, Dr. Jacono advances and fixes the frontal scalp to the skull. He then repositions the brow relative to the medial canthus using bioabsorbable sutures for anchoring.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
