Scarring is an expected result of any surgical procedure. However, in cosmetic surgery, scarring is meant to be as small, discreet, and hidden as possible. People who are interested in or undergo any facial plastic surgery are often more concerned about scarring. This is understandable since scars on or around the face are harder to hide than ones on the body. Let\u2019s look at the question, \u201cDoes a brow lift scar?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A brow lift<\/a> does, of course, scar. However, most of the time, Dr. Sessa hides the incisions in the hairline, on the top of the head, and\/or behind the ears. For most people, this adequately hides any scarring and the scars remain extremely discreet. If someone is prone to hair loss or is balding, a brow lift may not be ideal.<\/p>\r\n

For a patient that is prone to raised scarring, this may complicate keeping the scars hidden, but if the hair is kept long enough, often it does not interfere. Dr. Sessa works to keep all brow lift scars as small and discreet as possible while also being hidden within the natural features of the face.<\/p>\r\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll break down the main types of brow lifts, what kinds of scars each technique leaves, how those scars heal over time, and the proven ways you and your surgeon can keep them virtually unnoticeable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Do Brow Lifts Leave Scars?<\/b>

A brow lift will, inevitably, leave scars. However, Dr. Sessa carefully places the incisions within the hairline, across the crown, or discreetly behind the ears so they blend with natural contours and remain barely noticeable once healed. Patients with significant hair thinning or male-pattern baldness should discuss alternate incision placement, as limited hair coverage can expose scars.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Those who tend to form hypertrophic or keloid scars face an added challenge, but combining strategic incision placement with post-operative scar-management tools, such as silicone sheeting, topical gels, and laser therapy, usually keeps marks subtle.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Different types of brow lift procedures<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Brow lifts are not a single-technique surgery, and each approach uses its own incision pattern, which in turn determines where a scar will form. Below, we will discuss different brow-lift methods<\/a> and the scars they leave behind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
