comprehensive consultation with dr. holland
During a comprehensive consultation for a forehead lift (brow lift), patients receive personalized attention from Dr. Holland. The consultation involves discussing the patient's concerns and goals related to the forehead and brow area. Dr. Holland evaluates facial anatomy and explains the details of the procedure, including techniques and expected outcomes. Patients have the opportunity to ask questions and express concerns, ensuring an informed decision-making process. The consultation aims to address patient concerns and goals, leading to a satisfying outcome.
*Please Note: Your first planning appointment is of utmost importance and you will ultimately achieve a much better outcome for your skin long-term with a proper skin analysis. For our providers to perform this analysis your skin needs to be clean of dirt, oils and makeup. Additionally, safety is Dr. Holland’s priority and removing makeup prior to in-office treatments aids us in providing you with safer, more efficient care. For your convenience, we have a face washing station available if you are unable to arrive with a clean face.
what to expect
Throughout the forehead lift process, patients receive personalized care from Dr. Holland. The procedure, performed alone or in combination with other facial procedures, is completed at an accredited ambulatory center under anesthesia. Following the procedure, patients may experience temporary swelling and discomfort, managed with medication and cold compresses. Over time, gradual improvements in forehead and brow appearance occur. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Holland monitor progress and ensure a satisfying outcome.
things to consider before moving forward with forehead lift surgery:
Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days after surgery and then will subside gradually.
During the first week or two after surgery, you will experience some swelling, bruising and some drainage.
You may be wrapped in dressings that will not be removed until your first follow up appointment.
You should rest with your head elevated in a recliner or with at least 2 pillows for at least the first week after surgery. Try not to sleep on the side of your face but rather sleep with the back of your head on the pillow for about two weeks. Some patients prefer an airline type pillow for comfort.
You may expect to have most of the stitches removed after 5 days, and the remaining stitches removed 1 week later.
Swelling and bruising may last 6-8 weeks in some cases.
Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.

A brow lift is a surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of the facial region between the upper eyelids and the scalp, extending to the temples. The procedure is used to improve the low placement or sagging of the brows, and minimizes appearance of lines and creases in the forehead. These conditions may be due to heredity or can be attributed to the natural aging process and repeated facial expressions. Limited incisions are hidden in the hairline or through a single incision in the natural crease of each upper eyelid.
post-treatment care
Following a forehead lift procedure, patients receive comprehensive post-treatment care instructions to support optimal healing and results. These instructions typically include managing swelling and discomfort with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and to keep their head elevated to minimize swelling. Dr. Holland may recommend specific skincare products or routines to promote healing and enhance results. It's essential to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns promptly. By following Dr. Holland's post-treatment care instructions diligently, patients can achieve the best possible outcome from their forehead lift procedure.

“Everything was great. Everyone at the hospital and Dr. Holland were wonderful. I felt I was in good hands, and I believe I was. The immediate results were dramatic, even before healing. She removed all of the extra skin I wanted to get rid of. And my brows were not droopy anymore. Years were taken off. I am extremely grateful.”
