The brow lift is a procedure that corrects skin sagging, caused mainly by aging. Eyebrows are lifted with various methods. As a result, a youthful effect is obtained, and facial expressions become more apparent, so the patient grows a healthier posture and a happy facial expression.
Why Do Eyebrows Droop?
Eyebrows, like the whole body, droop over time. This is a normal and natural cycle. Thanks to the technological developments in the medical field and the increase in the number of qualified doctors, eyebrow lifting operations are performed easily and the process is completed in a short time. The most obvious cause of eyebrow sagging is aging. Collagen deficiency, which occurs due to both age and living conditions, also has a negative effect. This aesthetic procedure is a very good option for people with "droopy eyebrows" which comes with a genetic structure, and for those with brow ptosis.
Brow Lift Treatments
A brow lift can be done in both surgical and non-surgical methods. The healthcare professional will inform the patient about the ideal one. At this stage, the following are considered:
- Medical background,
- Current health condition,
- Patient expectations,
- Detailed analysis of facial features,
Before-after photographs (this is subject to patient consent).
Non-Surgical Brow Lift Treatments
Although brow lift and forehead lift surgeries offer effective results, it is not the first choice of some patients. Those who want to raise their eyebrows and achieve a youthful facial appearance without surgical intervention put non-surgical methods in the first place. These procedures are applied quickly, and they are practical. Since there is no healing process that prevents daily life, these procedures are in high demand. The most preferred non-surgical eyebrow lifting methods are:
- Filling,
- HIFU,
- Botox,
- Golden Needle,
- Eyebrow Threading.
In some cases, non-surgical methods may not work, and the patient may also want more permanent results. At this point, aesthetic surgeries step in. Eyebrow lift operation creates a difference with its long-lasting effect. Surgery can be performed classically and endoscopically.
Before endoscopic brow lift surgery, minimal incisions are made on the scalp, and brow lift is performed with the help of micro cameras. Classic brow lift surgery is performed by removing the excess skin around the forehead area. As the years' progress, this process can be repeated, when necessary, as the skin continues to sag due to aging. Compared to the endoscopic method, classical eyebrow lifting is less preferable.
Brow Lift Surgery Recovery Process
The recovery process after brow lift treatment and surgery vary according to the type of procedure. Non-surgical eyebrow lift does not prevent you from doing your daily life or business life routines. The person can continue his/her life after the operation. On the other hand, classical eyebrow lift surgery is slightly different. Since the excess skin is removed and the incisions are made during the surgery, it takes time for full recovery to be completed. Endoscopic forehead lifts and eyebrow lifts promise a more comfortable and shorter recovery period compared to the classical method. Whichever method is preferred, it is important that you follow the advice of healthcare professionals.
Permanence varies depending on the type of eyebrow lift. The endoscopic method is more permanent than non-surgical procedures. It should not be forgotten that although the results obtained with the surgery are permanent, aging continues, so skin sagging and loosening due to aging will continue. However, surgery gives you a youthful facial appearance for a long time.
The recovery period takes an average of 2 weeks. Factors such as the type of medical procedure, the patient's current health condition, and aftercare are influential in the full recovery. At this stage, you should do what your doctor says and go for controls. After the incisions heal, you can return to your normal life.
Endoscopic forehead lift and brow lift surgery promise the following:
- Hair loss does not occur in the relevant area.
- Pain does not occur in most cases, if it does, it is at a minor level.
- There is no scar.
- Recovery is fast.
- No swelling occurs.
- No bruising is observed.
