Emsculpt NEO is a cutting-edge device that provides non-invasive muscle-building and fat-reduction treatments. This innovative technology has been designed to help individuals achieve their fitness goals and improve their body contour. 

How Does Emsculpt NEO Work?

EMSCULPT NEO utilizes an innovative applicator that emits synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies. The radiofrequency heating raises the muscle temperature to levels similar to a warm-up exercise, preparing the muscles for exposure to stress. Within a span of 4 minutes, the subcutaneous fat temperature reaches a point where fat cells are permanently damaged and eliminated from the body, resulting in an average 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat as per clinical studies.

HIFEM+ energy, meanwhile, contracts the muscle fibers with intensities that surpass the limits of voluntary workouts, forcing the muscle to adapt and resulting in an increase in muscle fibers and cells. Clinical studies have shown an average increase of 25% in muscle volume.

Benefits of Emsculpt NEO

1. Non-Invasive Muscle Building

Emsculpt NEO provides an effective way to build muscle without undergoing invasive procedures. The device uses high-intensity, focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions, leading to significant muscle building.

2. Fat Reduction

Emsculpt NEO is also effective for reducing stubborn fat deposits. During the treatment, the HIFEM energy causes the fat cells to break down and be eliminated from the body, resulting in a reduction in fat and an improvement in body contour.

3. Multiple Body Parts Treatment

Emsculpt NEO has four applicators, which allow for the simultaneous treatment of four different areas. This makes the treatment process more efficient and convenient.

4. Non-Surgical and Painless

Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment, making it a safe and convenient option for individuals looking to improve their body contour. The treatment is painless and requires no downtime, allowing individuals to return to their daily activities immediately after the session.

5. Improved Body Contour

Emsculpt NEO can help individuals achieve their fitness goals and improve their body contour. The device’s HIFEM technology causes the muscles to contract, leading to significant muscle building, and the reduction of fat deposits results in a more defined and toned appearance.

Does Emsculpt NEO really work?

Emsculpt NEO has been clinically tested and has shown positive results for both muscle building and fat reduction. The high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy used in the device has been shown to contract the muscle fibers and stimulate the growth of muscle fibers and cells. Clinical studies have shown an average increase of 25% in muscle volume.

In terms of fat reduction, the radiofrequency (RF) energy used in the device has been shown to raise the temperature of the subcutaneous fat to levels that cause apoptosis, leading to the permanent damage and elimination of fat cells. Clinical studies have shown an average reduction of 30% in subcutaneous fat.

It is important to note that individual results may vary and that a healthy diet and regular exercise are essential for achieving and maintaining optimal results. It is also recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing any body contouring treatment to determine if Emsculpt NEO is right for you.

What is the protocol for Emsculpt NEO?

The protocol for Emsculpt NEO typically involves a series of treatments, with the number of treatments and frequency of sessions determined by the patient’s individual goals and the recommendation of their healthcare provider.

During each treatment session, the patient lies down on a treatment table and the applicator is placed on the target area, such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. The applicator emits synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies, which raise the muscle temperature to levels similar to a warm-up exercise, preparing the muscles for exposure to stress. The HIFEM+ energy then contracts the muscle fibers in the area with intensities that surpass the limits of voluntary workouts, forcing the muscle to adapt and resulting in an increase in muscle fibers and cells. The RF energy raises the temperature of the subcutaneous fat to levels that cause apoptosis, leading to the permanent damage and elimination of fat cells.

The entire treatment takes less than 4 minutes and is painless. The patient can return to their daily activities immediately after the session.

It is recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the appropriate protocol for Emsculpt NEO, including the number of treatments and frequency of sessions, as well as to address any questions or concerns about the treatment.

Get Better-Looking Breasts at Elite Plastic Surgery

Breast augmentation before and after photos! Surgery was done by Dr. Rozbeh Torabi! These photos were taken just 3 weeks apart! 

Whether you are unhappy with the size or general appearance of your bust or your breasts, breast augmentation at Elite Plastic Surgery can provide bigger, firmer, and shapelier breasts. Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi, two board-certified plastic surgeons in Arizona, are here to help you meet your needs and achieve your aesthetic goals. 

Why Women Get Breast Implants

Women want bigger breasts.

The top reason women get breast augmentation is because they have naturally small breasts. Having naturally small breasts makes women feel self-conscious. Getting breast implants will give them the boost in confidence they need.

Women don’t want “deflated” boobs.

Aging and weight loss affects us all – breasts included. Aging, loss of hormones, gravity and weight loss can make breasts look like they’ve “shrunk” or “deflated.” Breast implants can make them look shaplier. 

Women want their pre-pregnancy boobs back.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are other common reasons why women want to get breast implants. The size of a woman’s breast goes through a lot of changes as it accommodates this phase of her life. Breast implants are an effective way to restore a woman’s figure to what it was like before pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Women want to look younger and better.

It isn’t uncommon for women to have asymmetrical breasts. This is simply the result of hormones during puberty. This can impact how clothing fits, how women feel about it and how women feel self conscious about how other women or men look at them. Getting breast implants can have a significant impact on a woman’s confidence.

After a mastectomy.

Women who have endured a cancer diagnosis often seek breast augmentation as a part of the breast reconstruction journey to feel like their old selves.

What is Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase breast size by creating an incision and inserting breast implants under the breast tissue or under the chest muscles.

Breast Augmentation Incisions

There are two types of incisions that can be performed on breast augmentation patients:

• Within the breast crease – this is the most common and most direct approach to creating an incision for the procedure. It also conceals the scars rather easily.

• Around the nipple – this incision tends to heal better but may cause nipple distortion, loss of nipple sensation, and the risk of the implant not fitting through the incision. 

• Around the nipple – this incision tends to heal better but may cause nipple distortion, loss of nipple sensation, and the risk of the implant not fitting through the incision. 

Sub-glandular vs. Sub-muscular Breast Augmentation

• Inserting implants under the breast tissue is called a sub-glandular breast implant. This is one of the most popular techniques and will create cleavage, with minimal recovery time and lesser discomfort. 

Most surgeons do not choose this method as there are more risks associated with it – rippling and palpitations. Additionally, mammograms will be more difficult to perform. Women who have little breast tissue before the surgery are not suitable for this as well.

• Inserting the implants behind the breast and under the chest muscles is called a sub-muscular breast implant. Because the majority of the implant is covered by the muscle itself, it creates a natural pocket for an implant. Many patients and plastic surgeons find that this placement will look more natural and more aesthetically pleasing to the entire physique. 

• Additionally, it will not affect future mammogram testing. However, the recovery time may extend over a longer period of time, and it will be more painful than sub-glandular placement.

Before, During, and After Breast Augmentation

Before Breast Augmentation

You’ll need to come in and consult with our surgeons in order to achieve the breast you want. You will need to inform the surgeons about your preferences for the size and feel or appearance of your breasts. The surgeon will then let you know about the different types of implants as well as the techniques you would like. Once everything has been discussed and decided upon, it’s now time to schedule your procedure.

During Breast Augmentation

Once you come into the clinic during procedure day, the surgeon will inform you of what was discussed previously for your procedure. Once done, you will be put under anesthesia and the procedure will begin. The surgeon will make an incision and insert the implants in place, they will then check if it’s centered properly. 

Once the implant is in place, the surgeon will close the incision and our nurses will wrap you in a sterile surgical dressing and create compression with a medical sports bra.

After Breast Augmentation

In the immediate days that follow surgery, you will experience swelling and soreness, but the aesthetic result will be seen immediately.

Follow your surgeon’s instructions about returning to regular activities. While you’re healing, remember that your breasts will be sensitive to physical contact or jarring movements.

5 Treatments to Put Your Best Self Forward for the Holidays

Thanksgiving marks the official start of the holiday season. It’s a season full of family, friends, food, and of course, the hustle and bustle that comes with holiday preparation. While there are many things to celebrate and be grateful for, no one wants to welcome the season with breakouts, skin problems, and other issues that make you feel more self-conscious, and not in a good way. But no worries. Elite Plastic Surgery has got you covered.

Stop Sweating Underarms with miraDry® and Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Preparations take a lot of physical work. Whether it’s preparing for meals or parties, hanging festive decorations around your house, or buying gifts for people dear to your heart, there’s one thing that’s unavoidable – sweat and odor. 

While sweat and odor due to sweat are a natural occurrence in our body, it doesn’t stop you from feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious with the presence of sweat and the possibility of sweat stains or odor.

miraDry® is an effective laser treatment that eliminates sweat glands from producing displeasing odor or excessive sweating. It implements controlled electromagnetic energy to eliminate the sweat and odor glands in the underarm area.

Another reason for body odor is the presence of underarm hair. Elite Plastic Surgery has a solution for this – Laser Hair Removal. What’s amazing about this procedure is that you can use this technology on other areas like the upper lip and chin, the bikini line, the underarms, legs, chest, groin, and back. Using Soprano ICE™ laser technology, our doctors can painlessly get rid of unwanted underarm hair.

Stress may also be another factor that may affect your holiday spirit. From the food preparation to making your guests comfortable and everything in between, the whole holiday preparation will likely cause you to worry a lot and with that comes wrinkles, dark spots, and other signs of aging.  

Here are three treatments that’ll help you look and feel better throughout the holiday season

First is Dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is a wonderful alternative for men and women who want to remove layers of dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin without chemicals. This leaves your skin looking smoother and healthier, giving you a more youthful glow.

Second on this list is Microneedling. Microneedling is the newest skin rejuvenation technique that uses tiny needles to induce collagen production. This treatment refreshes and produces younger-looking skin by improving the texture and tone, which decreases the impact of wrinkles and aging.

The last, and one that any aesthetic list can’t live without is Botox. BOTOX is a non-surgical injectable treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of facial expression lines, crow’s feet, and dynamic wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. It’s quick and painless with no downtime so you can go back to your holiday prep right after your treatment!

Say Goodbye to Incontinence with EMSELLA® Treatment at Elite Plastic Surgery

A lot of patients deal with the inconvenience and discomfort of urinary incontinence but are too embarrassed, shy, or don’t know how to tell their doctors about it. Incontinence is the unintended leaking of urine caused by weak pelvic floor muscles.

 Urinary Incontinence comes in different types:

• Stress Incontinence is the leaking of urine with a sneeze or cough, sometimes sex or exercise like running or jumping. This is related to the damage or weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.

• Urge incontinence is the unpredictable overwhelming need to urinate, with leakage of small to large amounts of urine. This is common to patients who are overweight, have diabetes, or have neurological issues like dementia.  

• Mixed Incontinence is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence. 

The kind or type of incontinence doesn’t really matter. What patients want to know is if there is a solution and if they’re eligible for it. 

Read on to know about how we use EMSELLA to treat incontinence here at Elite Plastic Surgery.

What Is Emsella®?

Emsella is a breakthrough treatment for incontinence. This unique technology revolutionizes intimate health and wellness by providing those suffering from incontinence with a completely non-invasive option to help them regain their confidence. 

Pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support the pelvic organs and span the bottom of the pelvis. Strong pelvic floor muscles give you control over your bladder and bowel. Weakened pelvic floor muscles mean your internal organs are not fully supported and you may have difficulty controlling the release of urine.

How Does Emsella® Work?

Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control. A single EMSELLA session induces thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions, which are extremely important in muscle re-education of incontinent patients. 

The EMSELLA treatment is a completely non-invasive procedure. The patient will remain fully clothed throughout the whole treatment. Once the therapy starts, the procedure runs independently, meaning it’s completely operator-free! There are also no consumables needed, therefore, there will be no additional costs.

Scientific research has shown that 95% of treated patients reported significant improvement in their quality of life, and 75% noted a reduction in pad use.

Am I  a Good Candidate for BTL Emsella?

EMSELLA is a great option for both men and women of any age who wants a solution for urinary incontinence. Though urinary incontinence is more likely to occur in women, men may also have issues with incontinence. 

What  Does the EMSELLA Treatment Feel Like?

Emsella is an entirely painless treatment. Patients will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the procedure. Patients may also resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment, there is no downtime. 

How Long Is the Treatment?

You will need to talk to our specialists as we provide personalized treatment plans. A typical treatment takes around 30 minutes and patients will need about 6 sessions, scheduled twice weekly. 

How Fast Will I See the Results?

Patients feel and observe improvement after a single session. The results will continue to improve over the next few weeks.

Life-Changing EMSELLA Treatment at Elite Plastic Surgery

You don’t have to live with incontinence. The sooner you get your Emsella treatment, the sooner you can regain your confidence. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rozbeh and Radbeh Torabi at Elite Plastic Surgery Arizona.  We serve patients all over Arizona including Chandler, Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Tempe, Paradise Valley, Goodyear, and surrounding states. 

What You Need to Know About Blepharoplasty 

Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids. Over time, the eyelids stretch, and the muscles that support them weaken. Excess skin and fat accumulate above and below the eyelids, making the eyes look droopy.

Read on to discover how drooping eyelids affect your health, the benefits of eyelid surgery, and where you should go for treatment. 

Eyelid surgery fixes impaired vision

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic treatment for excess, loose, and sagging skin around the eyes. It helps improve your overall appearance by smoothing fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. It also corrects impaired vision due to sagging skin. Many patients undergo blepharoplasty to rejuvenate their appearance and improve skin conditions that result from unhealthy skin and eyes. 

The results can last a lifetime

The results vary with each patient, but most procedures will last for years and decades. The aging process may change the appearance of the upper eyelids, but the effects of eyelid surgery may be permanent.

You can have blepharoplasty on either or both of the upper or lower eyelids. The surgery could last one to two hours. You will receive a jab of local anesthesia to keep you from feeling any pain. Some surgeons may advise intravenous sedation in certain situations.

It takes four weeks to see results

Recovery time after eyelid surgery depends on the patient’s general medical health. Complete healing takes up to four weeks. By that time, the surgeon will remove the stitches from your eyelids. You will also start seeing improvements at this time.

Follow these safety tips to ensure the best results of your treatment:

⦿ Do not wear makeup for about four weeks after surgery

⦿ Avoid direct sunlight and dust around the eyes

⦿ Avoid intense activities for 3 to 4 weeks

⦿ Wear sunglasses regularly for four weeks

⦿ Apply eye drops, ice, and any prescribed medication

⦿ Avoid swimming and abrupt eye movements

You can go home right after surgery

Patients are usually discharged a few hours after surgery. The doctor may also prescribe some medications to treat minor pain and swelling, which could last up to two weeks. 

The stitches will remain on your eyelids for 4 to 5 weeks after surgery. Take note of the following conditions as you are recovering from blepharoplasty, and consult with your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms:

⦿ abnormal tears

⦿ numbness

⦿ photosensitivity

⦿ double vision 

⦿ black eye

There is no age limit for blepharoplasty

Anyone with sagging skin around their eyes may get the treatment. If droopy eyelids cause problems with your vision, you should consider getting eyelid surgery. Patients who want eyelid surgery must be healthy and free of underlying medical conditions. If you have bags under your eyes or wrinkles on the upper eyelids, you are a likely candidate for blepharoplasty. 

Elite Plastic Surgery offers eyelid surgery

Most people go through blepharoplasty to improve their looks. They want to get rid of loose, sagging skin around their eyes and restore their youthful appearance. 

Eyelid surgery is one of the many services offered at Elite Plastic Surgery. Our expert surgeons will discuss the best treatment for your situation.

The Benefits of DIEP Flap Surgery

After a mastectomy, many women feel that they have lost an essential part of their identity. Breast reconstruction surgery is often the answer to this problem, with techniques like DIEP flap surgery becoming popular among patients who want a natural-looking breast contour. 

In this article, you will learn how DIEP flap surgery is performed and its benefits compared to other techniques.

Let’s get to it.

Methods of Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy

There are two ways a plastic surgeon can perform breast reconstruction. One way is to use a tissue expander with a permanent implant. The other is by using autologous tissue, or the tissue from other body parts, to rebuild the breast. 

Using a breast tissue expander and breast implant

During a mastectomy, the surgeon will insert an empty implant under the skin. Once the breasts are healed, the surgeon will pump water or gas into the implant to gently stretch and expand the tissue under the breast. 

It could take 6 to 8 weeks before your skin stretches to the size that you desire. Once you’ve achieved the size you want, your doctor will stop pumping gas or water, and you’ll be ready for a permanent implant. 

Using autologous tissue

Another way to reconstruct the breasts is through autologous tissue. This process is known as  “flap” reconstruction. This procedure uses tissue or fat from another body part to rebuild the breast. 

Doctors have developed several breast reconstruction techniques using autologous tissues. Each technique takes tissue or fat from certain parts of the body. DIEP, SIAM, and TRAM flaps use tissue from various parts of the abdomen and belly. Other techniques, like the IGAP flap, use tissue from the hips and buttocks. 

Reasons to Choose DIEP Flap Reconstruction Surgery

DIEP Flap reconstruction surgery uses tissue from the lower abdomen to reconstruct the breast. The added benefit of losing stubborn belly fat is appealing to most patients. But there are more reasons women choose DIEP flap surgery. 

Here are 5 reasons why:

Reduced Risk of Implant-related complications

DIEP Flap Surgery does not require the use of an implant so there is no risk of implant-related complications.  Ruptured implants, change in the breast contour, and connective tissue damages are just three of the complications that have been reported. 

Preserves the abdominal muscles

Because tissue from the abdomen is used in a DIEP flap surgery, patients get the added benefit of a tummy tuck. When performed by an expert surgeon, no abdominal muscle is used in this technique.  This means the patient preserves abdominal muscle tone, and recovery is also faster. 

Gives you a more natural breast contour

Since the tissue used in the surgery comes from your own body, it will have the same characteristics as natural breast tissue. The surgery can also be used to correct any asymmetry between the two breasts.

Improves your self-esteem and body image

The results of DIEP flap surgery can be very natural-looking and can greatly improve your self-esteem and body image. Still, because the tissue is removed from the belly, the surgery will leave you with a long scar from hipbone to hipbone. 

Sensation in the reconstructed breast

Nerves from the abdominal tissue are transferred and carefully attached to the nerves in the breast tissue, allowing patients to regain sensation. With silicone implants, on the other hand, you can regain sensation but it’s usually very minimal. 

Get a DIEP Flap for a Natural-looking Breast Contour

Aside from fast recovery time, and the added benefit of a tummy tuck, patients appreciate the natural-looking breast contour from a DIEP Flap. If you’re considering breast reconstruction, get in touch with Elite Plastic Surgery today. We’ll answer any questions about DIEP flap surgery and get you started on the journey back to a whole new you. 

Ear correction surgery, also known as ear pinning or otoplasty, is a simple but profound procedure that has become increasingly popular in the United States in recent years. The goal of this surgery is to correct deformities or abnormalities in the shape, size, or position of the ear.

While it is a relatively simple procedure, it can have a profound impact on a person’s appearance and self-confidence. If you’re considering changing the look of your ears, then read on. This article will show you what it is, and the benefits of ear correction surgery.

What is ear correction surgery?

Ear correction surgery, also called otoplasty or ear pinning, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of your ears. The goal of this surgery is to change the shape, size, or position of your ears. This can be done for cosmetic reasons or to correct a birth defect or injury.

What are the benefits of ear correction surgery?

The most obvious benefit is that it can improve the appearance of your ears. This can have a profound impact on your self-confidence and quality of life. Additionally, this surgery can also correct birth defects or injuries, which can improve your hearing and overall health.

How is ear correction surgery performed?

Several different techniques can be used to perform ear correction surgery, and the specific procedure that is right for you will depend on your case. In general, however, the surgery involves making incisions in the skin behind the ear, reshaping the cartilage, and then suturing the ear.

What are the risks and complications associated with ear correction surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and complications associated with ear correction surgery. These include bleeding, infection, and reactions to the anesthesia. Additionally, you may experience some pain and swelling after the surgery. However, these side effects are typically mild and temporary.

How much does ear correction surgery cost, and what is included in the price?

The cost of ear correction surgery varies depending on the surgeon, the technique used, and other factors. In general, you can expect to pay between $3,000 and $5,000 for the procedure. This price typically includes the surgeon’s fee, the cost of the anesthesia, and the facility fee.

What should I expect before and after ear correction surgery?

Before ear correction surgery, you will meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations. You will also have a physical examination and may undergo some tests, such as X-rays, to evaluate the structure of your ears.

After ear correction surgery, you can expect to experience some pain and swelling. You will also need to wear a bandage over your ears for a few days. Most people can return to work and their normal activities within a week. However, it may take several months for the swelling to completely resolve.

How can I find a qualified surgeon to perform my ear correction surgery?

When choosing a surgeon to perform your ear correction surgery, it is important to select someone experienced and qualified. You can ask your doctor for recommendations or search online for surgeons in your area. Once you have a few surgeons in mind, be sure to check their credentials and reviews to ensure that they are reputable and have a good track record.

What are the long-term effects of ear correction surgery?

In most cases, the results of ear correction surgery are permanent. However, the ears can become misshapen again over time due to factors such as aging or injury. If this occurs, you may need to undergo another surgical procedure to correct the problem. Additionally, you may experience some scarring after surgery, which can be noticeable if your hair is short.

Life-changing Otoplasty from Elite Plastic Surgery

Ear correction surgery is a relatively simple procedure that can have a profound impact on a person’s appearance and self-confidence. While there are risks and complications associated with any surgical procedure, these are typically mild and temporary.

A brow lift, or browplasty, is a surgical procedure that can take years off your appearance, making you look more rested and rejuvenated. It reduces sagging on your upper eyelids, reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, and removes excess skin from the face. While most people think there is only one option for a brow lift surgery, there are actually 3 types. 

And that’s not all.

Here are 7 things you need to know before getting a brow lift surgery.

There are three types of brow lifts.

Depending on your unique situation, your doctor will recommend either a coronal brow lift, the endoscopic brow lift, or the temporal brow lift. A coronal brow lift is the most common type of brow lift. This procedure involves making an incision along the length of your hairline, from ear to ear.

The other two types are the endoscopic and temporal brow lifts. An endoscopic brow lift is less invasive, as it only involves making small incisions in the scalp. This type of brow lift is best for patients with limited skin sagging. The temporal brow lift is the least common type of brow lift. This procedure involves making an incision along the natural crease of your eyelid.

A brow lift is an invasive procedure.

All types of brow lift procedures involve making incisions in the skin and manipulating the underlying muscles and tissues. During a brow lift, you will receive local anesthesia in order to numb the area. This means that you will be awake during the surgery.

As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection, bleeding, and scarring. You will need to take time off from work to recover. Most people take at least a week off after their procedure. 

It can alleviate migraines.

There is some research to suggest that a brow lift can help reduce migraines. The nerves associated with migraines are located in the same areas as the muscles that cause forehead wrinkles. 

When your surgeon releases or removes these tensed muscles during a brow lift, the tissues in the forehead expand. The nerves in the forehead region are also freed from compression, making them less likely to cause excruciating migraine pain. 

A brow lift is a significant investment.

Depending on the type of brow lift, the surgeon’s fees, and the location of the surgery, a brow lift can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $12,000. Many insurance plans do not cover cosmetic surgery, so you will likely have to pay for the procedure yourself.

This is a decision that should not be taken lightly, as it is a significant investment both financially and emotionally. But if you are unhappy with the way you look, a brow lift can be a life-changing procedure.

A brow lift can improve your self-esteem and confidence. 

While the primary goal of a brow lift is to improve your appearance, many patients also report an improvement in self-esteem and confidence after the surgery. There is nothing like looking at yourself in the mirror and seeing your beauty goals realized.

As with any cosmetic procedure, you will notice astonishing results with a brow lift. It won’t take very long before your friends and family notice the change in how you look. Just be ready for all the compliments and questions you will get.

You may have to repeat the procedure.

The effects of a brow lift are not permanent. The skin and muscles will slowly begin to sag over time. If you want to maintain the results of your brow lift, you will likely need to have additional surgery every 5-10 years. 

However, there are things you can do to slow down the signs of aging. You can use solutions like collagen peptide therapy to strengthen the skin. You can also adopt new healthy habits that will give you better skin from within, like eating nutritious foods, or quitting smoking.

Not everyone is a good candidate for a brow lift.

While a brow lift can improve the appearance of many people, it is not right for everyone. Some of the potential risks you need to consider include bleeding, adverse effects from anesthesia, and changes in your facial symmetry. If you are not prepared for a change in the way you look, then you should consider carefully whether a brow lift is necessary for you.

Before you decide to have a brow lift, make sure to talk to your doctor about all the potential risks and benefits. Cosmetic procedures are generally safe and effective, but there are instances where they could have negative effects on certain people.

Is a brow lift right for you?
