THE BROW LIFT
The Purpose
The brow lift is often effective for correcting sagging eyebrows and forehead skin. At the same time, it may be used in partnership with Botulinum Toxin to help reduce forehead lines and vertical ‘frown lines’ that form above the nose.
The Procedure
These days, a brow lift is often performed using a telescope (endoscopic approach) in preference to a long scalp incision. The endoscopic approach may be equally successful and involves minimal surgical intrusion – just three to five small incisions hidden within the hair line. This obviously varies between men and women due to male pattern baldness and the possibility of exposed incisions.
The exact positioning of your brow is a very personal matter, and is also much influenced by gender and ethnic differences. We will support your decision with the most up to date practices and depth of experience.
Using general anaesthetic, your operation will take about 60 minutes.
The Followup
As with any surgery, there may be some mild discomfort immediately afterwards. We will provide the painkillers you need to be as comfortable as possible. If the endoscopic method is used, there will be less swelling and less visible scarring.
An overnight stay in hospital will be needed after your operation, and we recommend that you take a week off work to rest and recover properly.
