How is a brow lift performed?
Several different techniques can be used to carry out a brow lift, and your surgeon will advise on the best option for you, based on your individual needs and goals.
The most common type of brow lift is an endoscopic brow lift, which uses small incisions hidden within the hairline to access the underlying muscles and tissues. This technique is less invasive than traditional open brow lifts and typically results in fewer complications and a quicker recovery.
Endoscopic brow lifts are usually performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep for the duration of the procedure. Once asleep, your surgeon will make small incisions in your hairline and insert an endoscope (a small camera) to help guide them as they work.
The muscles and tissues of the forehead will then be lifted and repositioned into a higher position before being held with stitches or surgical tape. The skin will also be raised and trimmed if necessary before being replaced over the newly positioned muscles and tissues.
What are the advantages of a brow lift?
There are many benefits that can be achieved through brow lift surgery, including:
- A more youthful appearance
- A reduction in both wrinkles and lines on the forehead
- An improved eyebrow position
- A lifted, more open appearance to the eyes
