What is Brow Lift?
The skin right below the brows tends to sag as we age; it loses elasticity along with the soft tissues and hence results in the shortening of the distance between eyebrows and eyelashes; this often causes the eyes to look tired and dull all the time.
Brow lift is a cosmetic procedure performed to improve the symmetry of low and sagging brows. Also known as a forehead lift or forehead rejuvenation, brow lift also helps to improve the appearance of the forehead while focusing on the brow and the area around the eyes by raising soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow. The treatment helps to eliminate the visible furrows, tighten your forehead skin, and muscles to look refreshed with younger and happier facial expressions.
How It Works
At our affiliated clinic, there are 2 methods available:
· Endoscopic Brow Lift
Several small incisions will be made in the inner parts of the scalp without causing any bleeding or scars; an endoscope will be inserted with a long thin tube through one of the incisions to view the underlying muscles and tissues. In this method, the sagging tissues will be lifted and anchored with sutures or small screws. The healing period is much shorter with less swelling; stitches will be removed after an average of 10 days.
· Eyebrow Thread Lift
The method works by inserting a tiny dissolvable thread into the face and pulling up the skin; this is not a permanent solution as the thread can only last between 6 to 24 months, depending on your frequent facial expressions.
