At Plastic Surgeons of Akron brow lift is used as an ideal remedy for a tired appearance caused by sagging brows. For men and women wishing to reduce wrinkles and achieve a more restful and relaxed look, a brow lift is a popular procedure. This cosmetic forehead rejuvenation procedure from Plastic Surgeons of Akron is performed by Dr. Pedersen and raises the brows to a more youthful position.
Used to correct sagging eyebrows and soften frown lines or forehead creases, a brow lift can be performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery or a facelift to improve the appearance of the entire face.
Choose a brow lift to remedy a tired or sad appearance caused by sagging brows.
Incisions may be across the top of the head just behind the hairline or, if the procedure is done with an endoscope, there are three to five short incisions. There are three techniques to consider:
An endoscopic lift involves a miniature camera, called an endoscope, which Dr. Pedersen uses to examine the tissue and muscle structure beneath the skin and adjust them to deliver the best brow lift Akron has to offer. The forehead skin is lifted and repositioned and the brow muscles are adjusted to match the new contour of your skin. Your eyebrows will be raised and secured into a higher and more youthful position.
The mid-scalp or hairline lift technique is recommended for patients with a high forehead or high hairlines. In this technique, the incision is made at the intersection of the hairline, and the forehead hairline is not raised any higher but still allows the brow area to be elevated.
The Lateral Lift focuses on improving the sagging skin and crow's feet around the temple and sides of the eyebrows. The incisions are placed behind the hairline at the temples, and the excess skin is removed. The incisions are then closed, the patient's forehead and hair are washed, and a bandage is applied.

Wrinkled skin and jowls happen to nearly everyone at some point in the aging process. This typically begins around age 40. As the years go by, the signs of facial aging inevitably worsen. Treating loose skin and wrinkles early may provide the most natural result.
Sagging skin on the face and jawline can be moderate to severe on some patients due to heredity or aging. If you are concerned about facial wrinkles on the mid to lower part of the face and/or lack of jawline definition, then a facelift can refresh your appearance and tighten loose skin.
Many patients have a hard time imagining what the facelift results might look like on them as an individual. Here is a good trick to get a sense of what a facelift can do for you.
Look at yourself in a mirror while lying down. Notice the changes in the contour of your face. Like a facelift, gravity pulls the skin toward the hairline/ears for a nice smoothing effect with visible wrinkle reduction. The jawline and jowls appear more contoured if this is an area of concern for you. The results you see in the mirror will provide a close approximation of what you can expect from a facelift procedure.
The ideal facelift candidate is in good overall health; is a non-smoker or is willing to quit in order to have cosmetic surgery, and is not pregnant or breastfeeding. With a Facelift Cleveland and Akron candidates from a variety of backgrounds, occupations, genders, and ages can experience rejuvenation.
Uncompromising results are the hallmark of Dr. Pedersen’s practice. His philosophy is to listen with care to each patient’s particular concerns in order to design a surgical plan that will make your face appear several years younger — all without obvious signs of having work done.
One way he achieves a natural result is by applying uniform tension to the skin for a smooth, natural finish that gains attention for the right reasons. We want every patient to get compliments on how refreshed and rejuvenated they look after facelift surgery, without anyone being able to detect that you had a little help to look your best.
Another important factor for a great surgical outcome is the facelift scar. It is important that incisions are neatly hidden. The facelift procedure involves incisions that are placed in front of the ear or behind the ear where they cannot be easily noticed. The scars are well hidden behind the ear within the hairline.
Dr. Pedersen is trained in modern facelift techniques. Innovations in facelift surgery have allowed qualified facial surgeons to tighten excess facial skin, reduce sagging jowls, smooth wrinkles, and eliminate fine lines without the need for long incisions.

The best way to get an accurate estimate of how much your facelift cost is an in-person consultation with Dr. Pedersen. There are multiple approaches to facelift surgery and each has its own price point. We want to ensure you receive the procedure that will achieve the results you are looking for.
Natural results are very important to Dr. Pedersen, especially when it comes to face surgery. As a board-certified Akron plastic surgeon, he has more than 18 years of experience in cosmetic procedures for both face and body and a record of marvelous, natural-looking results.
Starting at age 40 is when most people begin to notice advanced signs of facial aging. However, the average age for facelift surgery can be anytime in the 40s, 50s, or 60s. It all depends on the degree of sagging skin, wrinkles, and jawline contours that you find concerning.
Many patients see the best result by having a facelift done in their 40s. The results tend to look most natural at this age. Regardless of age, Dr. Pedersen will be pleased to help. To learn more about whether you are a good candidate for a facelift, we encourage you to book a private consultation with Dr. Pedersen. He will examine the facial skin laxity, wrinkle presence, and jawline to help you determine if a facelift is in your best interest.

Be open with Akron plastic surgeon Dr. Pedersen about all previous surgeries, biopsies, over-the-counter medications, diet pills, supplements, herbs, and anything else you may be taking.
It is vital to have an open conversation about your current lifestyle and work activity to make sure you are giving your body the proper time it needs to heal.
One week prior to surgery and after surgery, avoid these over-the-counter medications and supplements as they act as blood thinners and could cause problems with blood clotting:
Stop smoking and drinking alcohol several weeks before your procedure, and drink plenty of water to allow your body to be as hydrated as possible. Hydration will help with the healing process.
After surgery, it is important to have someone to drive you home. Your forehead will be wrapped to lessen swelling. Dr. Pedersen will provide you with a specific after-care recovery routine.
The recovery process is different for everyone, but within a day, you should be able to be up and around. It is advised to be home from work for the next 2-4 weeks to allow for swelling and bruising to lessen and for the incisions to heal. Scars are hidden within the hairline and will fade naturally.
Once you heal, you will notice a more restful and natural appearance. It is essential to continue to protect your face from sun damage and exposure to lessen the aging process. A proper skincare regimen and SPF are recommended.
A great result can only be achieved with great communication with your surgeon. We can answer your questions and work with you to decide if a brow lift procedure is the right option for you. Upon speaking with Dr. Pedersen, together you will discover the right technique for your facial structure that will provide the best results for you. You may also consider other procedures to have done at the same time such as dermal fillers and other skin treatments.
