Patients who have;

-A physically healthy condition

-An optimistic and realistic view on the procedure are perfect candidates for a brow lift!

As we age, some unwanted fine lines may occur. The furrowed lines between the brows may make us look angry or ‘’too serious’’. Loosening of the skin can cause the brows to droop and also can cause our eyelids to look baggy. If you’re worried about these symptoms a brow lift can be suitable for you.

During your brow lift consultation, be prepared to discuss the following:

Your goals for your appearance

Your complete medical history

Your current prescription medications, including vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use

Your brow lift surgeon will also:

Evaluate your general health status and risk factors

Discuss your options

Examine and measure different parts of your face

Take photographs

Recommend a course of treatment

Discuss the possible outcomes and potential complications of brow lift surgery

Don’t forget to ask questions. To help you, we have prepared a checklist of questions you can ask your brow lift surgeon and bring with you to your consultation.

You may use this list as a guide during your consultation for questions.

– The process of a surgical operation is completely personal and it differs from person to person. You are expected to consider the complications and risks of a brow lift and decide if they are acceptable for you.

To make sure you have understood the possible risks and complications of a brow lift, we have prepared a form for you to sign.

These risks may include:

-Fluid accumulation

-Infection

These risks will be discussed before your consent. It’s important to directly ask these questions to your surgeon.

When getting ready for your brow lift procedure, we may ask you to do these preparations:

– Take your laboratory tests and medical records

– Take asked medications to prepare your body

– Stop smoking

– Do not take any aspirin, anti-inflammatory or other supplements since they can thin your blood and increase bleeding.

– For your safety, you should arrange a friend or a relative to stay with you prior and after your brow lift operation.

Step 1: Anesthesia 

For you to stay comfortable during your operation, we will give you anesthesia. For your condition your surgeon may prefer intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.

Step 2: Incision

Endoscopic insicion:

A brow lift operation can be possible in multiple ways. Some surgeons may prefer using an endoscope (a slim tube with a camera) and other devices that are used by making small cuts on the hairline. This repairs the core of the visible fine lines and dents by regulating the tissue and muscles.

Coronal incision:

Some surgeons may do the the brow lift operation using a “coronal incision”. A coronal incision is made from ear to ear. Then the skin of the forehead will be lifted and by direct confrontation the muscles can be shaped and manipulated. The scar is hidden deep into the scalp.

Step 3: Patching of the incision

Generally a typical brow lift is closed using these:

-Removable or absorbable stitches

-Skin glue

-Special clips.

Step 4: Results

The results will occur in a couple of weeks and after the bruising and swelling is gone, a more flawless and smooth look will appear.

You’ll be shown instructions to assure that your brow lift heals approperiately. The instructions may include:

-Aftercare

-Medications

-Consultation of your general health and surgery

-The date you should contact your surgeon

-The physical activities you should not do prior to surgery

-What you should expect during your recovery

-What kind of medication you will need after your surgery

-The kind of bandages or dressing your incision will need.

-How long the bandages/stitches will stay

-When the stitches will be taken out

-When you can return to doing physical activites.

-The time you will need to return to your consultation

-The recovery process of the brow lift

The recovery process can take up to 10-14 days. After that you may return to your daily life. But you should remember that any tiring or heavy activities as such as sports or pressure to your healing spot can leave unwanted damage. So it’s crucially necessary to listen to your doctor while this process. You can also cover up the bruising by using cosmetic products. We recommend using a pink color corrector first for deep end extential bruising. And it is important to keep in mind that if taken proper care, afterwards you will not see any visible scarring or permanent bruising.

The results of a brow lift is seen immediately after recovery process. After the surgery the swelled spots will heal over time and you’ll see your fabulous results. And to make sure that you have temporary results, you can use a lightweight sunscreen with a desired level of sun protection factor. This will prevent sagging after a long time.
