Questions To Ask Before Your Brow/Forehead Lift Surgery
A brow lift or forehead lift may seem to be a relatively minor cosmetic procedure, but it can make a dramatic impact to your facial appearance. Before you go ahead with this surgery, you should have a clear idea of what surgical technique will be used, what will be the aesthetic benefits and limitations, and how much of a recovery period will be involved.
You should ideally have all questions listed beforehand on a sheet or in your phone, which you can carry to your surgeon’s office during the pre-operative consultation. Your surgeon will make sure that you receive accurate and transparent answers to your questions so that you can make a well-considered and an informed decision.
Oculoplastic & reconstructive surgeon Dr. Tanya Khan provides brow lift and forehead lift to patients in Plano, Dallas, Texas, and surrounding communities.
Successful Consultation
For a successful and comprehensive brow lift consultation, you and the surgeon should ideally have a good rapport and you should be able to freely communicate with them about your needs. If you feel comfortable with the surgeon and they are able to satisfy all your concerns, you can confidently choose them and move ahead with your surgery process.
Your surgeon may choose to present brow lift or forehead lift before and after pictures at the first consultation itself. Their goal will be to help you form realistic expectations and make the right decision for yourself.
