What is an Eyebrow Lift?
An eyebrow lift, also known as a brow lift, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape the eyebrows. It can improve the appearance of the forehead, upper eyelids, and eyebrows, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.
How Does Eyebrow Lift Surgery Work?
Eyebrow lift surgery involves:
- Incision: An incision is made in one of several locations, such as above the eyebrows, in the hairline, or across the forehead. The specific incision pattern depends on the technique used and the desired results.
- Tissue Repositioning: The underlying tissues and muscles are repositioned to raise the eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles on the forehead.
- Skin Removal: Excess skin may be removed to tighten the forehead and improve the eyebrow contour.
- Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures.
There are different types of eyebrow lift techniques, including:
- Coronal Brow Lift: An incision is made across the top of the head, from ear to ear.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Small incisions are made in the hairline, and an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) is used to guide the surgery.
- Temporal Brow Lift: Incisions are made at the temples, near the hairline.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and takes 1-2 hours.
