Eyebrow Lift

What is a Brow Lift?

Brow lift is an aesthetic procedure performed to correct the low appearance of the eyebrows, reduce wrinkles in the forehead area and give the face a younger and more dynamic expression. The sagging of the eyebrows over time can give the person a tired, sad or old expression. This can be corrected with brow lift surgeries or non-surgical techniques.

Who is Brow Lift Suitable for?

A brow lift is generally suitable for the following people:

• Those with markedly low eyebrows
• Wrinkles and sagging in the forehead area
• Those who experience eyelid drooping and eyebrow drooping
• Those who want to have a younger and more dynamic facial expression
• Individuals in good general health

Eyebrow lift procedure is generally applied to individuals aged 30 and over. However, it can also be preferred at an earlier age depending on genetic factors.

Eyebrow Lift Methods

Brow lift can be performed with surgical and non-surgical methods. Here are the most common methods:

1. Non-Surgical Eyebrow Lift Methods:

• Botox It is a neurotoxin injected into the muscles to lift the eyebrows up. It is a temporary method and the effect lasts 3-6 months.
• Fillers: A hyaluronic acid-based filler can be injected into the eyebrow area to make the eyebrows look more raised.
• Thread Eyebrow Suspension: It allows the eyebrows to be pulled up with special medical threads. The effect may last 1-2 years.
• Ultherapy (Ultrasound Technology): It is a method that lifts and tightens the eyebrows by stimulating the deep layers of the skin.

2. Surgical Brow Lift Methods:

• Endoscopic Brow Lift: In this minimally invasive technique, which is performed through small incisions, the eyebrows are lifted up with the help of an endoscope.
• Classic Brow Lift: With a long incision in the forehead area, excess skin is removed and the eyebrows are lifted up.
• Temporal Brow Lift: It is a technique in which the eyebrows are raised with small incisions made in the temple area.

Recovery Process After Brow Lift

The healing process varies depending on the method used. In non-surgical techniques, the recovery period is quite short and usually returns to normal within a few days. In surgical eyebrow lift methods, the healing process progresses with the following stages:

• The first few days: There may be swelling, bruising and mild pain. These effects can be alleviated by applying cold compresses.
• Pain and Discomfort: There may be a slight pain, but it can be controlled with painkillers recommended by the doctor.
• Removal of Stitches In surgical methods, stitches are usually removed after 7-10 days.
• Full Recovery While swelling and bruising will subside within a few weeks, full recovery may take 1-2 months.

Following the doctor's recommendations and being careful during the healing process ensures successful results.
