You might choose to have a brow lift if you have a low, sagging brow or uneven brows. A brow lift might also boost your self-confidence.
A brow lift can be done alone or with other facial procedures, such as eyelid surgery or a face-lift.
Type of procedure:
- Endoscopic brow lift. In this procedure, several small incisions are made behind the hairline. A long thin tube with a light and a tiny camera mounted on its end is inserted through one of the incisions to view the underlying muscles and tissues.(I don’t do this procedure)
- Temporal brow lift(ponytail -eye cats) This procedure is done through ( 6-8 cm) incisions just behind the hairline near the temples
- Direct brow lift. This procedure is done by removing the skin above the eyebrows. A direct brow lift is typically done in people with bushy eyebrows. It's also a shorter surgery and can be done with local anesthesia, which numbs only part of the body.
- Coronal brow lift. This procedure involves making an incision behind the hairline across the top of the head, from ear to ear or primarily on the top of the head. Then the forehead is lifted into its new position, with the scalp in front of the incision overlapping the scalp behind it.
The overlapping scalp is then removed, and the remaining scalp is sewn together. This technique is not typically done in people who have high hairlines, thin hair or who are likely to lose their hair.

After the procedure:
In the first few days after a brow lift:
Rest with your head elevated and take pain medication , Apply cold compresses to relieve swelling Avoid exposing your incisions to excessive pressure or motion
As your incisions heal, you might experience itching and numbness, which will likely lessen over time. If your incisions are covered in bandages, they'll likely be removed in 1 to 3 days. Sutures typically will be removed within 7 to 10 days of surgery.
resume daily activities, such as washing and drying your hair and bathing after 24 hours . the swelling might last several weeks.
Incision lines will fade over time. You might use makeup to conceal any prolonged bruising.
Complication:
- Scarring. Scarring might be visible after a brow lift.
- Changes in skin sensation.
- Asymmetry in the position of the brows.
- Hair problems. A brow lift can cause an elevated hairline or hair loss at the incision site.
Results:
The results of your brow lift surgery are immediately visible. Over time, post-surgical swelling will resolve and incision lines will fade.
Satisfaction with your new image should continue to grow as you recover from surgery. The final results of your surgery will appear over the next few months.
Although good results are expected from your procedure, there can be no guarantee.
