Droopy eyebrows may be a consequence of aging or it’s onset may be evident early in life do to hereditary factors. Whatever the cause, we know that a low brow gives our face a sad and worn-out appearance. This can affect our sense of well-being when interacting with colleagues at work or friends at a dinner party. A tired appearance can have repercussions in our state of mind.
The most effective and lasting solution to this problem is an eyebrow lift. This surgical procedure works to restore a younger and more rested appearance to a face that looks tired or aged; it addresses brow position, crow’s feet and frown lines, all at the same time.
The best way to raise your brows
There are several surgical alternatives to raise an eyebrow:
Direct Browplasty:
It consists of removing a portion of the skin above the upper brow hairs. After removing the skin, the edges are sutured together with non-absorbable sutures; this will automatically raise the brow. This surgery may be performed with local anesthesia with little downtime. The main disadvantage with this operation, though, is that it can leave a visible scar.
Coronal Lift:
It is performed through a large incision in the scalp, starting on the upper part of one ear and running across the head to reach the other ear. Next, the forehead is raised as a flap and the excess skin is cut out; this maneuver raises the entire forehead and the brows. Coronal lifts are quite invasive and traumatic and they carry a high risk of complications, such as permanent scars, unpleasant numbness of the scalp and poor healing. It has fallen out of use for these reasons and has been replaced with minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic lifting.
BEAUTYlift:
Endoscopic technology has allowed oculoplastic surgeons to achieve excellent brow lift results with a minimally invasive operation. The endobrow procedure is considered my most surgeons to be the best way to raise a brow effectively and permanently. This is an elegant, safe, and efficient procedure that can be done as an outpatient surgery under local anesthesia with sedation. The results are natural, harmonious and quite impressive when performed by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon. Downtime on the endobrow procedure is about a week and you do not have to worry about any scars because the incisions are small and hidden behind the hairline. The operation can be performed in patients of all ages who need to rejuvenate their appearance.
Complications after a brow lift do exist but they are rare. To avoid complications, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and make sure that you take care of yourself during the early postoperative period. Most patients will experience some level of swelling and bruising, as in most surgical interventions. Keep in mind that a brow lift surgery is going to provide you with enormous benefits, in terms of appearance, self-confidence and well-being. This is the facial rejuvenating procedure par excellence.
