Brow lift is a surgical or non-surgical procedure performed to restore the eyebrows that have sagged or fallen over time to a more youthful, vibrant and aesthetic appearance. Aesthetic complaints such as sagging in the forehead area, drooping brow line and tired looks can be eliminated with a brow lift. This procedure allows the person to gain a more energetic appearance by changing the facial expression positively.
Why is a Brow Lift Performed?
Due to aging, the effect of gravity, the use of facial expressions and genetic factors, eyebrows may become low over time. This can create pressure, especially on the eyelids, and the person may appear to always have a tired or sad facial expression. Brow lift can be performed for the following purposes:
Providing a younger appearance by raising low eyebrows
Elimination of tired expression around the eyes
Correction of unsymmetrical eyebrow structure
Relieving pressure on the eyelid
Giving an aesthetically more lifted and attractive facial expression
Eyebrow Lift Methods
Brow lift can be applied with both surgical and non-surgical techniques. Which method is preferred is determined according to the needs and expectations of the person.
1. Endoscopic Brow Lift (Surgery)
Small incisions are made in the forehead area and intervened from the inside with a camera system called an endoscope. The eyebrows are suspended upwards and the forehead muscles are tightened. Advantages include more permanent results and minimal scarring.
2. Classical Brow Lift (Open Surgery)
Excess skin is removed by making an incision in the forehead area from the scalp and the eyebrows are lifted up. It is preferred for more advanced sagging.
3. Thread Eyebrow Suspension (Non-Surgical)
In this technique, which is used especially for minimal sagging, the eyebrows are pulled up with special threads placed under the skin. Recovery is achieved in a short time after the procedure.
4. Brow Lift with Botulinum Toxin (Bonta)
By injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles around the eyebrows, the eyebrows are slightly lifted by changing the muscle balance. It is a temporary method, usually lasting for 4-6 months.
Post Brow Lift Process
After surgical brow lift procedures, mild edema and bruising may usually occur for a few days. In non-surgical methods, the person can return to their daily life immediately. Although the results vary according to the age, skin structure and the method chosen, successful and satisfactory results are usually achieved.
