Browlift Surgery

Eye Brow Lift Surgery can be performed in different ways, depending on the desired outcome.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The main goal of this procedure is to correct age-related changes in the forehead and brow areas. It is a minimally invasive, atraumatic technique: unlike traditional surgery, the endoscopic brow lift involves minimal intervention, using small incisions with the help of an endoscope with a monitor. The endoscope is inserted through small punctures in the scalp, where hair naturally covers the area, leaving no visible scars.

Only the targeted areas are affected, with no disruption to surrounding tissues. This technique lifts the brows, reduces forehead wrinkles, and rejuvenates hooded eyelids for a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Indicated for:

• Drooping eyebrows;

• Wrinkles due to aging;

• Loss of facial harmony;

• Pronounced glabellar frown lines;

• Drooping eye corners.

Coronal Brow Lift Surgery

This method is designed to address age-related sagging and the loosening of skin tissues in the upper part of the face.The procedure repositions the eyebrows by tightening the skin around the temples, lifting them upwards. This results in tissue lifting, wrinkle smoothing, and a general rejuvenation of the face.

Indications for a coronal brow lift surgery:

• Deep expression lines, including around the eyes;

• Ptosis of upper facial tissues;

• Cases when chronological aging appears more quickly on the forehead than on the lower face.

Thread Brow Lift

The threaded brow and forehead lift addresses the problem of asymmetry or inexpressiveness of the eyebrows. This technique involves the insertion of absorbable or non-absorbable cosmetic threads into the tissue with a needle. Each thread serves a different purpose.

The key benefit of thread lifting for the forehead and eyebrows is that it guarantees no damage to surrounding tissues or nerves. Facial expression remains active, recovery is quick, and no scars are left behind.

Indications for thread brow lift surgery:

• Lowering of the eyebrows and temple area;

• Loss of skin elasticity

• Eyelid ptosis or changes in eye shape;

• Pronounced glabellar frown lines;

• Changes in facial contours;

• Results of previous unsuccessful cosmetic procedures.

Temporal Brow Lift

A temporal lift involves a plastic surgery procedure that corrects signs of aging in the upper third of the face. It smooths forehead wrinkles, eliminates crow’s feet around the eyes, and rejuvenates the overall appearance. This minimally invasive technique makes small incisions hidden in the hairline and tightens the upper third of the face — by forehead and brow tightening.

Indications for temporal browlift surgery:

• Lowering and drooping eyebrows;

• Wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes;

• Upper eyelid drooping;

• Facial asymmetry.

Benefits of the Procedure

Forehead and brow lift surgery has many advantages over other methods of correction. These include:

• Immediate, long-lasting results;

• Lifting drooping eyebrows to create an “open look”;

• Smoothing out wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, as well as eliminating the tired or sad facial expression often caused by upper eyelid drooping;

• Correcting facial asymmetry;

• The absence of visible scars or marks thanks to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure — provided you follow all instructions from your doctor.

How to Prepare for the Procedure?

As with any surgical procedure, a forehead and brow tightening requires a thorough assessment to identify any potential contraindications. Both the plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist will consult with the patient to determine the most suitable treatment and anesthesia options. A personalized treatment plan is then created.

Two weeks before surgery, avoid blood thinners like aspirin, refrain from alcohol, and stop smoking.

Patients must also inform their doctor about any medications they are currently taking, as well as any known allergies.

Who is a Good Candidate for the Procedure?

The procedure is ideal for patients seeking to address:

• Sagging tissues in the brow area, drooping eyebrows;

• Wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, whether fine lines or deeper creases;

• Consequences of previous unsuccessful plastic surgeries;

• Facial asymmetry and changes in facial contours.

Risks

The risks associated with the procedure are minimal when performed correctly. However, to ensure a positive outcome, it’s important to consider certain contraindications. Many of these are minor, and once the underlying condition is addressed, a brow lift may still be possible. These include:

• Hemophilia;

• Cardiovascular disorders, and central nervous system issues;

• Cancer in the pre-remission stage;

• Acute viral infections;

• A predisposition to keloid scars;

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Potential complications following surgery may include:

• Bleeding caused by fluctuations in blood pressure from anesthesia;

• Temporary swelling and bruising are common and typically resolve within a few days without intervention.

• Inflammation around the sutures, which may be a normal part of the healing process following a successful surgery. However, if you experience fever or increased pain, it’s important to consult your doctor, as this could indicate an infection;

• Keloid scars in individuals predisposed to them;

• Tissue necrosis, which is extremely rare but may occur in patients with obesity or those who engage in habits that impair healing.

Post-Treatment Care

Rehabilitation after an upper third facelift is typically smooth, provided you follow these guidelines:

• During the first two days, sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling;

• Swelling and bruising are common in the first week and may appear more noticeable before gradually subsiding. This is a normal response, so there’s no need to worry or attempt to treat it;

• Avoid bending, strenuous physical activities, sports, and visits to saunas, swimming pools, or open waters, as these can increase the risk of bleeding until you’ve fully recovered;

• Avoid alcohol and smoking until fully healed.

Sutures are typically removed after a week, and complete recovery usually takes between 14 to 28 days, depending on your individual clinical picture.

To enhance results, botulinum toxin therapy or fillers may be recommended after consulting with your doctor.
