Brow Lift also known as the forehead lift or browplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that rectifies sagging brows by lifting and removes the creases across the forehead. The very first signs of ageing are shown on the face, especially on the forehead and brow area. This procedure modifies the effects of gravity and tauten the soft skin tissues giving you smooth and youthful looks.
Brow Lift or Forehead Lift Procedure
The brow lift surgery is performed under the influence of general anesthesia. There are two kinds of brow lift surgeries and the surgeon recommends which one is suitable for you, depending upon your skin type and the position of hairline.
Traditional Brow Lift Surgery
In this type of surgery, incision is made from one ear, along or slightly back from the hairline to the other ear. For bald patients or those with a receding hairline, the surgeon will usually hide incision in a natural forehead crease. Once the incision is made, lifts the skin to smooth the wrinkles and re position and the brows. The skin is then stretched and stitched or clipped in place.
Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery
During this brow lift procedure, the surgeon will make four to five small incisions in various locations on the scalp. Through these incisions, a thin plastic tube with a tiny camera at one end is inserted. Then the images gathered from the camera allows the surgeon to operate on the muscles and fatty tissue behind the hairline. After that, the surgeon lifted the eyebrows and held them in place with stitches, or temporary screws behind the hairline. The incisions either stitched or stapled. This procedure is preferred more than the classic lift because of smaller cuts. Thus it leads to minimal scarring and a shorter recovery time.
