Brow Lift Surgery
A brow lift surgery is slightly different than other surgeries that can be performed to the face as there are a number of different methods that can be used during the surgery to achieve the desired outcome. It’s possible that the incision can be made in the hairline for the tissue and skin to be shortened which lifts the forehead area and results in the need for the eyebrows to be repositioned, giving a more youthful appearance and hiding any scarring within the hairline. Alternatively, it can also be carried out as keyhole surgery (depending on your needs) where the surgery will be carried out through a number of smaller incisions in the hairline to provide the same outcome.
Although a number of our patients opt for a brow lift purely for aesthetic reasons to give them a more youthful appearance, this form of surgery can also be performed for those who have had their vision affected due to their brow drooping and by using the appropriate method of surgery, it can actually have a significant improvement on a patients lateral vision.
Why choose brow lift surgery?
Brow lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the upper part of the face to deliver a more youthful and alert appearance. This surgical intervention is particularly beneficial for individuals who have a sagging brow, or who wish to smooth out wrinkles and lines on the forehead, often becoming more appealing to people between the ages of 40 to 60, or anyone looking to reduce visible signs of aging on their forehead.
How does brow lift surgery work?
The procedure entails a meticulous process where the surgeon works on raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow to achieve the desired lift. During the surgery, excess sagging skin on the forehead is removed, and the underlying muscles and tissues are repositioned. This correction of a heavy, sagging brow, elimination of deep furrows, and restoration of a smoother, more youthful contour to the upper one-third of the face is achieved through different techniques, which are chosen based on the individual’s goals and anatomy. The surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The specific surgical approach may vary, but common steps include administering anesthesia for comfort during the procedure, making the incision (the techniques of which may vary), and finally closing the incisions which might be hidden within the hairline or in natural contours of the face.
What are the results like?
Post-surgery, the results are often immediately visible. The procedure effectively reduces wrinkles, improves frown lines, and repositions the eyebrows to a more youthful stance. Over time, post-surgical swelling will resolve, and incision lines will fade, further enhancing the youthful appearance achieved. The final results will become more apparent as the scalp and hairline incisions heal completely, which could take around six months. These results are long-lasting and significantly contribute to enhanced self-confidence and a refreshed, younger-looking facial appearance.
