Brow-Lift

The procedure during the operation varies depending on the type of surgery chosen. With a pure eyebrow lift, the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic in a sitting position. The doctor first marks the incision and the desired position of the eyebrows. After the incision, the excess skin is removed and carefully sutured. In the method with a forehead lift and incision at the hairline, the incision is marked and placed after the general anaesthetic. If necessary, the surgeon can adjust the fatty tissue and muscles, then tighten the skin towards the hairline and suture it there. Excess skin is removed. During endoscopic surgery, small incisions are made in the hairy scalp to insert a mini camera. This allows the surgeon to tighten the skin and remove excess skin. In a lateral brow lift in combination with a temple lift, the incision is made behind the lateral hairline. Two shifting layers are then created to tighten the eyebrow and temple region. The superficial and deep fascia layers are then sutured to ensure permanent fixation. In combination with an upper eyelid lift, access is made via the upper eyelids to fix the eyebrows in the desired position under the skin.

After the operation, you should cool the treated areas with cooling compresses for the first two days. It is recommended to wear a light compression head bandage. It is advisable to keep your upper body slightly elevated while sleeping. The stitches are usually removed after about eight to 14 days.

What are the risks associated with eyebrow correction? As with any operation, general risks can occur. Possible consequences include temporary numbness in the operated area. In very rare cases, the facial nerves may be temporarily impaired. What complications are possible? Bleeding and haematoma may occur. In extreme cases, a doctor should be consulted immediately. Minor swelling and bruising may occur, but will subside over time. Effective cooling can be helpful.
