Why Get a Brow Lift?
- Typically, as you age, your brows droop. Stretching makes skin incapable of folding back into position. As a result, there is less space between the eyelashes and eyebrows.
- A brow lift is not just done for aesthetic purposes. In several situations, brow drooping can limit eyesight, thus it can boost up the peripheral field of view.
- Another reason is that the location of your eyebrows might give off an unhappy appearance. The brows can be raised, which might make you appear younger.
- In addition to eyelid crowding, this can provide the appearance of loose skin on the top lids by making the skin look hooded. With the loss of its normal curve, the brow shape also alters.
Brow Lift can also provide a considerable increase and improvement of the blepharoplasty effect in some patients.
How is Forehead Lift Performed?
It can be done in a variety of methods. The techniques are described in the following:
Direct brow lift
The skin on the top of the brow is removed during the procedure. It is an efficient lift method that offers lasting outcomes. Although the scarring is frequently hardly noticeable, it may be apparent in those with thin eyebrow hair.
Endoscopic brow lift
The endoscopic lift, often known as a keyhole lift involves making a few tiny incisions on the head beneath the hairline. Then a tiny camera on an endoscope is inserted to view the muscles and underneath tissues. The surgeon raises the forehead muscles using the surgical device entered, then secures them in place. The incisions are subsequently stitched.
Hairline brow lift
If you’re someone who’s got a high hairline, there’s this technique surgeons often use to help you. Essentially, they create an incision between the base of your forehead and the start of your hairline and take a small amount of skin from the top part of your forehead. It’s minimally invasive, and it can really make a big difference in terms of how your hairline looks.
Temporal brow lift
Tiny incisions are made right beneath the hairline during a temporal brow lift, close to the forehead, in this surgery.
Internal browpexy
Using the same incision as used in blepharoplasty, this procedure is less invasive. If blepharoplasty or any other form of eyelid surgery is being done, this technique is advised for minimal brow ptosis.
The Recovery Following a Brow Lift
For proper rest and recovery, the doctor will recommend you to be off work between 1-2 weeks. To reduce swelling, your forehead could be gently bandaged. To evacuate any blood or liquid, a tiny tube may be positioned. In addition, you should sleep with a few pillows and apply cold packs. You should not expose your incisions to too much pressure or movement.
During 24 hours following surgery, showering should be avoided. You may then wash your hair with baby shampoo and dry it carefully to prevent infection.
For around two weeks, you should stop lifting anything heavy or exercising.
Your bandages will be removed in a few days, and the stitches will be removed a week following surgery.
Probable Complications
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Temporary nerve injury
- changed hairline
- Nighttime pain
- Loss of hair or skin
Results
Brow lifts’ results won’t remain forever. Your skin will naturally become less elastic as you get older and may begin to droop once more. Sun can also damage your skin and can speed up the ageing process. A brow lift, on the other hand, can assist in reducing some of these effects by raising the skin of your brow and forehead, giving you a more young and rejuvenated look.
