Eyebrow Lift

What Is The Eyebrow Lift Procedure

An eyebrow lift, also known as a forehead lift or brow lift, is a cosmetic procedure. It aims to rejuvenate the upper portion of the face. Eyebrow lift surgery elevates the eyebrows and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the forehead and between the eyes. The procedure can create a more alert, youthful, and refreshed appearance.

Although most eyebrow lift surgeries can be done under local anesthesia, some techniques may require general anesthesia. 

Types Of Eyebrow Lift Surgeries

There are several types of brow lift surgeries. Some of these are as follows:

Endoscopic brow lift — This minimally invasive technique uses an endoscope, a small camera attached to a thin, flexible tube. The endoscope is used to visualize the treatment area through small incisions within the hairline. The surgeon uses specialized instruments to lift the forehead tissues, reposition the eyebrows, and secure them in their new, elevated position.

Coronal brow lift — This is a more traditional approach compared to the others. It involves a long incision across the scalp, from ear to ear, hidden within the hairline. The surgeon lifts the forehead skin, tightens the underlying muscles, trims excess skin, and repositions the eyebrows.

Hairline brow lift — Similar to a coronal brow lift, this technique involves an incision along the hairline. This approach can be beneficial for patients with a high forehead. It can help reduce the forehead’s height and lift the eyebrows.

 

Candidates For Eyebrow Lift

Ideal candidates for an eyebrow lift are those who want to address aging or sagging in the forehead and brow area. This procedure can improve the appearance of wrinkles, heavy brows, and drooping eyelids. The following factors may make someone a good candidate for an eyebrow lift:

  • Good overall health: Candidates must be in good physical condition. They should be free of any medical issues that could heighten the likelihood of complications or hinder recovery. A comprehensive medical assessment is typically conducted before surgery to guarantee the patient’s safety. 
  • Non-smoker: Smoking can significantly increase the risk of complications and impair the healing process. Surgeons typically recommend that patients quit smoking several weeks before and after surgery to minimize these risks.
