Eyebrows gradually drop as we age. This ptosis is linked to a loss of elasticity in the skin due to the loss of collagen and elastin and an imbalance in the muscles, and is responsible for a "tired look". The purpose of the brow lift is to put the eyebrow back in the position it was in before and thus open the eyes.
Many brow lift patients also request information regarding blepharoplasty which is the cosmetic surgery of the upper eyelids. Combining the brow lift and blepharoplasty usually brings a better result. When the brow lift is associated with an upper blepharoplasty, it reduces the amount of skin to be removed from the upper eyelid.
Other techniques such as botulinum toxin injection, hyaluronic acid injection, or lipo-filling can also raise an eyebrow. The choice of treatment that best suits your needs will follow a careful clinical examination by your plastic surgeon.
Brow Lift surgery takes 1-2 hours.
You can return to your daily routine three to five days after the brow lift procedure.
Brow lift surgery has a success rate of 95%.
Non-surgical brow lift treatments:
A brow lift (eyebrow lift) is a minimally invasive procedure that provides a stretch of the forehead skin and can be performed in both young and old people. By stretching the skin, the eyebrows are replaced and the face looks much younger.
In the past, there was only one way to perform a brow lift. This procedure consisted of cutting the skin of the scalp from one ear to the other to raise the forehead and remove the excess skin. A few days after the operation, the patients were suffering from considerable swelling, especially in the eyelids.
There was a loss of sensitivity in the scar and also slight hair loss at the same level.
In recent years, a new technique, endoscopic brow lift, has appeared. Now instead of a big scar, only small incisions are needed. The procedure consists in introducing small instruments to tension the tissues which are relaxed.
The correction with the endoscopic technique is much less pronounced than that with the traditional technique, the surgeon will determine with you, according to your degree of tolerance, the best technique to use.

When you arrive at the clinic, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon who performs your brow lift surgery. Everything about your surgery will be discussed between you and your surgeon during this consultation.
The surgeon will ask you some questions to try to understand your expectations and goals better and also make you understand what you should expect from your treatment and the potential risks or complications of the procedure.
You will also decide together on the individualized surgical and recovery plan that can be followed, especially during the first 24 to 48 hours after the surgery.
At this stage, it is very important to find the answers to all the questions you have in mind. The surgeon will explain the whole process clearly and try to simulate it as much as possible, in order for you to feel comfortable and well-prepared.
Before the surgery begins, your surgeon will conduct physical and blood tests to make sure that you are in acceptable health status for the surgery. The surgeon also evaluates the levels of the eyebrows, the symmetry, and the position of the eyelids by using computer measurements.
Every patient is required to undergo medical tests to ensure that nothing can hinder the success of the surgery and if any risk is obtained, surgeons try to eliminate them first.
The procedure can be performed under sedation, local, or general anesthesia. Your surgeon will choose the most suitable option for you.
After the anesthesia has been applied, the surgeon makes two small incisions behind the hairline. Then the frontal skin is stretched and repositioned. This surgery can be done independently or accompanied by a facelift or an eyelid lift.
