A brow lift raises eyebrows and forehead tissue that have drooped with age. It aims to reduce a tired or angry expression.
Who may it suit?
- People whose drooping brows press on the eyelid
- People with deep forehead lines and a tired expression
- People considering it together with upper eyelid surgery
Methods
- Endoscopic approach: through small cuts within the hairline
- Classic (open) approach: for more marked drooping
- Temple approach: to lift the outer part of the brow
The choice depends on facial structure, hairline and the degree of drooping.
Recovery
- Swelling, bruising and numbness of the forehead can occur.
- Keeping the head raised and postponing heavy activity is advised.
- Stitches are removed on the days your physician sets.
Because a drooping brow differs from excess eyelid skin, an examination is needed to choose the right procedure.
