Brow Lifts -
Potential Complications
This is a routine operation that is a great success for the vast majority of patients. However, it is very important you understand what can go wrong as well as right with an operation. With brow-lift the potential problems are listed.
Itching and feeling: Can be troubled by itching and reduced sensation in the scalp. These usually settle quickly.
Small degrees of asymmetry: The same operation will be performed both sides. There is a small risk of minor irregularities in the skin surface on one side and not the other.
Scars: Patients can vary in the quality of scars they produce.
Wound breakdown: Although very uncommon this can result in delay in wound healing and scar quality.
Bleeding: A blood clot can collect under the skin needing you to go back to theatre for its removal.
Infection: Also very uncommon but if occurs you will need a course of antibiotics.
Alopecia (baldness): Some very minor loss of hair around the cuts can occur. If it occurs, this is not usually noticeable.
