This procedure is usually done
as an outpatient under general or intravenous sedation
administered by an MD anesthesiologist.
I do this procedure exclusively with endoscope assistance
through usually three about one inch incisions hidden
within the hair. I do not shave any hair. This has
replaced the ear to ear incision of before with
essentially the same results. By watching the projected
image on a television monitor, I am able to use
very small instruments to remove the muscles causing
the frowning and cause the eyebrows to elevate,
which is the goal of this procedure.
I secure the eyebrows in an upward position by fixation
devices like small titanium screws or absorbable
plastic material.
I place no dressings and the patient is able to
shower the next day with any hardware placed removed
in two weeks. Black and blue is usual which lasts
about two weeks. Light activity can be resumed in
a couple of days and all activity after two weeks.
Complications such as numbness, tingly feelings
in the hair as well as inability to raise the eyebrows
on either side may occur. The "startled" look is
possible but unusual, especially now with the endoscopic
approach.
I do have a built in "safety" mechanism, so if the
patient feels that the eyebrows are too high, I
can lower them within the first week.
