Procedure

Cosmetic specialists can employ a variety of techniques to lift the brow, which are different in terms of incisions’ location and the resulting scars. Surgeons’ decision highly depends on the patient’s age and expectations. You can ensure that your surgeon chooses a technique which best suits your needs and helps you achieve your desired outcomes. The whole process typically takes about an hour or two.

• Endoscopic Brow Lift: This is the most popular and common technique in which surgeons use a small camera to smooth and tighten the muscles and skin. Afterwards, they remove and reposition the excess fat. To do so, 2 to 4 small incisions are made and then hidden in the scalp.

• Temporal/Lateral Brow Lift: This method which is also known as lateral brow lift focuses only on the outer third of the eyebrows on either side. Incisions are mostly smaller than the ones made in the previous technique. Surgeons typically make them near the ear. These incisions tighten the sides of the brow to result in a refreshed appearance. Since through this method, doctors will not be able to  directly access muscles that lie between the brows, they prefer combining an upper eyelid incision with a lateral brow lift to weaken these muscles.

• Classic Brow Lift: Due to the development of advanced techniques in recent years, this approach is losing its popularity gradually. In this operation, surgeons make a long incision in the hairline that extends all the way across the forehead. One of the distinct features of this procedure is that it enables doctors to tighten, smooth, and reposition the brow easily through the direct access they gain. Getting this surgery is mostly suggested to individuals with extensive aging of the forehead.

• Pre-Hairline Brow Lift: This operation is highly suitable for patients with a very tall forehead since through this technique surgeons can not only lift the brows and smooth the forehead, but also shorten the height of the forehead, pulling it downward. The incision usually lies in the junction between the hairline and the forehead skin.

Recovery

Due to the fact that you need to rest for several days after the surgery, it’s better to ask someone to take care of you for a while. The length of recovery process highly depends on the complexity of the operation and the technique adopted by your surgeon. For at least a week, you should avoid lifting heavy objects. However, if approved by your surgeon, you can do your routine daily activities afterwards. You don’t need to worry about the potential bruising and swelling in the brow area or the upper eyelids because they disappear as time passes. Try to keep your head elevated to help reduce swelling. Your doctor often removes the stitches after 10 to 14 days.

The Results

Fortunately, the results of your surgery will be visible immediately when the incisions and probable swelling fade away. You will enjoy the final results after a few months. You can make sure that you will have a youthful and more beautiful appearance afterwards since the soft tissue and skin of your forehead and brow are raised. Nonetheless, it’s important to note that brow lift results are not everlasting. The reason is that nothing can stop the aging process. As you get older, your facial skin may begin to sag again. Therefore, you should try your best to live a healthy lifestyle and reduce sun damage by using suitable sunscreen lotions to prevent such problems.
