Reasons for brow lift surgery

The main reason for brow lift surgery are:

Age
Skin exposure
Sun damage
Excess or loose skin
Improve self-confidence
Reduce appearance of wrinkles

Ageing is a natural process that can result in loose or drooping skin. For many people this may not be an issue however, some people can lack confidence or want to maintain a youthful appearance which is why a brow lift may be the perfect procedure to help maintain this image.

Brow lifts can be performed in conjunction with facelift surgery and neck lift to create an overall younger appearance and treat all excess facial skin.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a minor surgery on my leg done by Dr. Bashir, and I can’t recommend him enough.  He’s incredibly kind, gracious and immediately puts you at ease.  Highly skilled, knowledgeable and charismatic to boot - he made the whole process as “enjoyable” as surgery can be.  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had some medically necessary work done by Dr. Bashir and he is an amazing surgeon with an incredible bedside manner. He is humble, intelligent, a scholar and a gentleman. His skills are truly spectacular and his knowledge is top notch. He always has a smile and he will put you at ease when you see him. He explains everything he's planning on doing and executes his plan accordingly. He's an excellent communicator and was extremely patient with me. We are very lucky to have him in Vancouver and without a doubt, I would highly recommend him.

Update: Saw Dr. Bashir for my post-op work and again, he was exceptional in his bedside manner. He was happy with the work he did and the healing taking place. Asked him a few questions and he was, again, his patience was evident. His skill as a surgeon is just truly amazing but more so he is truly a good person.

Update #2: I saw Dr. Bashir for the final time to finish off the post-op checkup. One word comes to mind when describing Dr. Bashir: humility. The good doctor his not only intelligent, smart, competent, and caring but he exemplifies humility. I am sincerely humbled by the fact that I was referred to Dr. Bashir and I stand by my previous words to describe him. We are extremely lucky to have him here and without a doubt, I would and have recommended Dr. Bashir.

I recently had nose reconstruction surgeries after an Mohs surgery and are very happy with the results and did not have any complications.

Kavita answered my millions of questions with a smile and was on the ball and Dr. Bashir  did good work, re-assuring me and making it a very pleasant experience. Now I  just can't get addicted to getting work done :P

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Bashir operated on one of my family members, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Thankfully, Dr. Bashir encountered the cancer once before in his career, a testament to his experience. The surgery (we waited just weeks for availability) was successful and the cancer was removed. Dr. Bashir was thorough and sent matter for laboratory analysis in case microscopic amounts remained. At his office he was kind and answered questions in detail. We are grateful for his professionalism and skill.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly could not be happier with my results! I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Bashir and the results are even better than I imagined. I am extremely particular about my body and did my research for this surgery I had been wanting for ten years. When I finally met Dr. Bashir I knew instantly that it was going to be a good fit. He understood exactly what I wanted and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I would 100000% do this surgery over again and choose Dr. Bashir every time! Recovery was easy and he made what could have been a nerve racking experience actually exciting and enjoyable. Could not possible have gone any better than it did. I definitely recommend using him! He’s AMAZING!!!!!

Dr Bashir was my surgeon and not only did he do a fantastic job but he was professional, polite, kind, addressed concerns I had, and made me feel comfortable. 10/10 would go to him again and recommend him to my friends and family should they need a surgeon with his skill set

Frequently Asked Questions

When choosing a cosmetic procedure, it is important to research the treatment and ensure the treatment is done by a professional and is medically qualified. Please read the most frequently asked questions many patients have when choosing a procedure.

During brow lift surgery you are likely to be under general anaesthetic and may be required to stay in hospital overnight; your surgeon will discuss the type of anaesthetic during your consultation. During the surgery, your surgeon will make incisions in the hairline and lift the forehead upwards to lift the brows and create a smoother and younger appearance. If you’re suffering an excessive amount of skin or tissue in this area your surgeon may remove it. This will have already been discussed during your consultation.

The surgery can take between 1-2 hours and may be longer if you are having multiple procedures. You may also be required to wear compression bandages on the treated area to help with healing.

You will experience swelling and tenderness and may notice bruising. This is completely normal and will subside during the first 1-2 weeks of recovery. You will be able to alleviate the pain with pain killers.

During recovery, you should avoid any strenuous activities and exercise for the first week. After the first week of recovery, you may be able to remove any bandages or compression garments.

You may still see some bruising or puffiness in your face however this will reduce over time. Due to the incisions being made in the hairline you may have to reduce how often you can wash your hair during the first few weeks. You should discuss this with your surgeon.

Recovery can take up to 2-4 weeks for a full recovery. During these weeks you should be cautious of the stitches and ensure you are following proper aftercare. If you have had browlift surgery along with other cosmetic procedures, then recovery can take much longer for all the results the fully heal.

All surgical procedures have risks associated with them, including brow lift, however, the procedure is still completely safe and does not mean you may experience any of these risks. Some of the main risks are:

Infection or blood clots
Bleeding
Hair loss or altered hairline
Temporary nerve damage

If you feel you are experiencing any side effects or are concerned, you should always consult with your surgeon.

All surgeries carry risks however, Brow Lift Surgery is completely safe especially when performed by an expert and qualified plastic surgery. When considering brow lift surgery, you should ask as many questions as possible during a consultation to help put you at ease and to help decide if it is the right procedure for you. Your surgeon will help you to understand the procedure, recovery, and any risks to look out for.
