Eyebrow Lift
Eyebrow lift.
Eyebrow lift and upper blepharoplasty are two different procedures. The latter procedure fixes the saggy eyelid by making a double eyelid line, changing the original shape and form of the eye.
On the other hand, eyebrow lift simply makes an incision either above or below the eyebrow, enabling the patients to keep the original shape of their eyes, double eyelid lines, and appearances.
Let’s know more about the procedure before having it.
What is Eyebrow Lift?
An eyebrow lift, also known as a brow lift or forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyebrows and forehead area. It is designed to address sagging eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and other signs of aging in the upper face. The procedure can help lift the eyebrows to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position, resulting in a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
There are different techniques used for an eyebrow lift, including:
- Traditional Brow Lift. This surgical procedure involves making incisions either within the hairline or along the natural creases of the forehead. The surgeon then lifts and repositions the underlying tissues and muscles, removing any excess skin if necessary. The incisions are then closed with sutures.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift. This minimally invasive procedure utilizes an endoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera on the end. The surgeon makes several small incisions within the hairline and inserts the endoscope to visualize and adjust the tissues and muscles. This technique typically results in smaller incisions, less scarring, and a quicker recovery compared to the traditional brow lift.
- Non-Surgical Brow Lift. Non-surgical options for eyebrow lift include treatments such as Botox injections and thread lifts. Botox injections relax the muscles that pull the eyebrows downward, resulting in a temporary lift. Thread lifts involve inserting dissolvable threads under the skin to lift and reshape the eyebrows, providing a subtle elevation.
Your cosmetic surgeon will choose the specific technique that will best suit your needs and preferences.
Who are Good Candidates for Eyebrow Lift?
Good candidates for an eyebrow lift are individuals who are bothered by the appearance of sagging eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, frown lines, or other signs of aging in the upper face. While each case is unique, here are some general characteristics of good candidates for an eyebrow lift:
- Sagging Eyebrows: Candidates typically have eyebrows that have descended or drooped over time, resulting in a tired or angry appearance. The ideal candidate may desire to raise the position of their eyebrows to achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.
- Forehead Wrinkles and Frown Lines: Candidates may have noticeable wrinkles or deep furrows on the forehead or between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). These can be addressed and minimized through an eyebrow lift procedure.
This operation is not performed directly on the eye area, but rather near the eyebrows. Therefore, it doesn’t change the shape of the eyes, double eyelids, single eyelid, or the overall impression of the client’s appearance. For that reason, Eyebrow Lift is for clients who want to keep their original looks.
Who are Good Candidates for Eyebrow Lift?
Prior to the eyebrow lift procedure, you need to have an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. The surgeon will evaluate your facial anatomy and determine if you are a good candidate for an eyebrow lift. If you are fit for the procedure, the surgeon will provide specific instructions for your pre-operative preparations.
During the eyebrow lift procedure, you will be under local anesthesia. The type and placement of incisions will depend on the technique used for your eyebrow lift. Traditional brow lifts involve incisions either within the hairline or along the natural creases of the forehead. Endoscopic brow lifts utilize several small incisions hidden within the hairline.
The surgeon will lift and reposition the underlying tissues and muscles to elevate the eyebrows and smooth out forehead wrinkles. Excess skin may be removed, if necessary. Once the desired adjustments are made, the incisions will be closed with sutures or other closure methods. Your surgeon may apply dressings or bandages to protect the incision sites.
After the procedure, you will be monitored for a few hours until the anesthesia wears off. Your surgeon will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions regarding wound care, medications to take, activity restrictions, and any potential side effects or complications to watch for.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes and forehead are common after an eyebrow lift. These effects usually subside over time but can last for several weeks. You will have scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress and remove any sutures.
The final results of an eyebrow lift can take several weeks or months to fully manifest as swelling subsides and the tissues settle into their new position. The results of an eyebrow lift are long-lasting, although the natural aging process will continue over time.
