What is Brow Lift?
The eyebrow lift, also referred to as the lateral brow lift or forehead lift, is a sought-after procedure used to refresh the appearance of the forehead & eyebrow for individuals looking to address signs of ageing. By repositioning the brow and forehead, this procedure not only elevates the brow & improves the eye area but also reinstates the youthful contour of the brow line. The goal of the eyebrow lift surgery is to revive the natural look of the upper facial area so that it harmonises with the overall facial appearance.
How Does Brow Lift Surgery Procedure Work?
Customised approach: different techniques tailored to individual needs and desired outcomes. Natural-looking results: achieve a smoother, youthful appearance with minimal scarring. Unrivalled expertise: performed by a leading oculoplastic surgeon.
A brow lift surgery typically takes 1-3 hours. The surgeon numbs the area with anaesthesia to ensure you don't feel pain. They make incisions in the skin to access the muscles and skin, causing wrinkles or deep frown lines. The surgeon removes excess skin and muscles & may also reposition the muscles to achieve a smoother look. Finally, they close the incisions with stitches and cover the area with padding and bandages.
There are three main types of brow lift surgeries:
Direct Brow Lift: This is the minimally invasive type, requiring a tiny incision made around the brow's outer corner. It's suitable for patients with brow ptosis (drooping eyebrows) caused by facial nerve palsy or ageing.
Pretrichial Brow Lift: This involves making incisions in front of the hairline, making it ideal for patients who comb their hair forward. This technique doesn't usually affect the hairline and can even lower it if needed.
Mid-Forehead Brow Lift: This involves making incisions within the forehead's wrinkles, making it a good option for patients who want a more subtle scar.
