brow lift

You may be wondering why people often ask if you’re angry, sad or tired. Chances are, it’s got nothing to do with your mood or the amount of sleep you get.

As we age, the muscles and tissues in our foreheads and brows can descend, which can lead to wrinkles and furrows in the brow and a tired appearance in the eyebrows and eyelids. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, may be the solution to restoring your rested, youthful look.


FAQ's



What can I expect from the Brow Lift surgery?
  • It removes the wrinkles from the forehead that appear due to the aging process or to repeated muscular contraction.
  • It refreshes the look.
  • It raises the eyebrows.
  • The arch of the eyebrows may be modified in order to, for example, give them a more youthful and feminine look.
  • Brow suspension surgery has a preventive effect if performed while the patient is still young. It consists in introducing special threads beneath the skin that will produce fibrosis in the sub dermal tissues. The threads and the fibrosis make up a structure that sustains the tissues of the area and delays the appearance of flaccidity.

Am I a good candidate for the brow lift surgery?


If your eyebrows are too low or too straight, giving you old, tired, sad, or angry look to your face, you are physically and emotionally stable and have realistic expectations, you are a good candidate for the surgery.


How is Brow lift surgery performed?


Brow lift surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia with a mild sedative to make you drowsy. Taking two to four hours to complete, this plastic surgery involves making an incision in the top of the scalp above the ears, which is hidden by the hair. If hair loss is an issue, incisions can be made in other inconspicuous areas.

Through the incision, the surgeon removes extra muscle and fat that causes brow droop and unwanted wrinkle and frown lines. Altering, removing and re-draping excess skin smoothes the forehead and elevates the brows. Though this procedure does not approach the eyes, the eye and upper eyelid areas appear more open and awake.

A newer endoscopic procedure involves making five incisions in the hair line and includes the same altering and redistribution as typical brow lift surgery, but does not include skin removal. The difference includes the anchoring of tissues and skin through permanent or dissolving mechanisms such as lasting tiny titanium anchors or dissolving sutures. This is considered a less invasive method, but because there is no skin removal in the endoscopic procedure, the traditional technique is usually preferred.


How long is the recovery period after the brow lift surgery and when can I resume my activities?

Soreness and numbness as well as pain surrounding the incision site is normal, but this can be managed with regular pain medication. Endoscopic patients will typically have less itching, but may experience more bruising.

To minimize swelling, your surgeon will give you specific directions to elevate your head for two to three days post-surgery. You may also experience swelling in the eye and cheek area, but this should last no longer than one week. Bandages are removed two to five days after surgery, and stitches and clips may be removed as soon as a day or two after your procedure, and you should be able to shower with mild shampoo when bandages are removed. One week to ten days later, you will likely be able to resume normal activity such as work and physical exercise.


What is the outcome of the brow lift surgery?

Brow lift surgery will give your face a renewed and fresh look. You will look younger and relaxed. The newly acquired arch of the eyebrows on your smooth forehead will give you a very pleasant look.
