FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY

Eyebrow Lift

The eyebrow lift, also known as brow lift or forehead lift, is a common operation for patients who desire to reverse the effects of aging on their forehead and eyebrows. Repositioning the eyebrow and forehead not only elevates the brow and enhances the eye area, but also returns the brow line to its youthful shape. The main purpose of eyebrow lifting is to make the upper face area look young and natural in harmony with the face.

The first 24 hours should be passed without a shower. After that, you can wash the hair gently with baby shampoo, but you must completely dry the affected regions to get rid of any bacteria that might create an infection. Patients should be also very cautious with heat when drying their hair. To dry the scalp, hair, and face, dab softly (as opposed to rubbing) with a soft towel.

For up to two weeks, patients should refrain from sexual activity, hard lifting, and physical exercise. To help with circulation, it’s crucial to stay active and go for short walks.

Around ten days following the surgical treatment, stitches or staples will be removed, and a follow-up session will be scheduled to assess progress and ensure proper healing is occurring. Attending the check-up appointment is essential for the patients.

Eyebrow Lift Benefits

Dropped brows can make you look fatigued and aged. In young individuals brows are higher than the rim of the eye socket, with the outer section of the brow higher than the part near the nose. The following issues can be improved with the brow lift procedure:

 

Your brows have dropped till they are at or below the edge of your eye socket.

Your eyebrows seem to be touching your eyes too closely.

In an effort to raise your brows, you clench and wrinkle your forehead.

Your outer brow is either lower than or at the same level as the brow furthest from the nose.

Your brow and upper eyelids appear fatigued.

The fact that eyebrow uplift greatly reduces crow’s feet wrinkles as an added advantage.

 

Eyebrow Lift Candidates

 

Most of the time, people over the age of 40 who are in good health are ideal candidates for eyebrow lift operations. The brow lines typically begin to droop and the area around the brow begins to wrinkle at this age. While some individuals in their late 20s or early 30s might require a lift, especially if brow-related issues run in their family.

 

Realistic expectations are necessary for good candidates for brow lifts. Additionally, they should adhere to the cosmetic surgeon’s post-operative care instructions.

 

You might be a great candidate for a eyebrow or forehead uplift if you deal with at least one of the following conditions:

 

-Sagging brows, 

-Overall fatigue appearance, 

-Heavy upper eyelids

-Wrinkles on the forehead

-Noticeable and deep furrows between the brows

-A vision impairment caused by drooping brows

-“Failed Botox” procedure on the low brows

 

Eyebrow Lift Procedure

First step: Anesthesia

To ensure your comfort throughout the surgical procedures, anesthetic will be given to you. Either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation would be recommended by your surgeon.


Second Step: The incision

There are various ways to perform eyebrow lift operations. Some surgeons choose inserting specialized devices through tiny incisions created in the hairline and utilizing an endoscope, a narrow tube with a camera at bottom. This makes it possible to make adjustments to the muscle and tissue beneath the skin, removing the cause of the visible creases and furrows on the forehead.


Endoscopic Incision For Eyebrow Lift

Some surgeons choose to perform an eyebrow lift using a “coronal incision,” which is made from ear to ear across the top of the head within the hair-bearing area.

After removing the forehead skin, necessary muscle adjustments can be made with direct visualization. In this way, the scar caused by the coronal eyebrow lift is effectively hidden by the hair.

Coronal Incision For Eyebrow Lift

An incision at the anterior hairline may be recommended for women with particularly high foreheads. This allows the brow to be raised without affecting the front hairline’s height. Even though the resulting scar is a little more obvious, bangs can easily cover it up.


Third Step: Closing the Incisions

Usually, brow lift incisions are stitched up with:

-Removable or absorbable stitches

-Skin glues

-Special clips


Fourth Step: Seeing Amazing Results

Within a few weeks, results begin to appear as bruising and swelling goes away. The operation results in smoother forehead skin and a younger appearance. 

Recovery After Eyebrow Lift

After an eyebrow lift, recovery varies depending on the technique used and the patient. The surgeon will inform you on the time that you will need to be off work, but it generally requires 1-2 weeks to have a good recovery. There won’t be any additional recovery time even if internal browplasty surgery is combined with blepharoplasty.

 

Bandages should be used for the first 24 hours following surgery since swelling and bruising are the most common side effects. Swelling can be reduced in a number of ways, like sleeping in an elevated position with a few cushions for the first couple of weeks and gently applying ice packs to the affected areas.

The first 24 hours should be passed without a shower. After that, you can wash the hair gently with baby shampoo, but you must completely dry the affected regions to get rid of any bacteria that might create an infection. Patients should be also very cautious with heat when drying their hair. To dry the scalp, hair, and face, dab softly (as opposed to rubbing) with a soft towel.

 

For up to two weeks, patients should refrain from sexual activity, hard lifting, and physical exercise. To help with circulation, it’s crucial to stay active and go for short walks.
