Brow Lift

Goal: To lift up the brow along the entire length or just its lateral part.

Surgical technique: In case of lifting the brow along the entire length, three small incisions are made along the upper edge of each brow. Thin threads are tunneled under the forehead skin to the scalp behind the hairline where sutures are fixed. In case of lateral brow lift only one incision is made. This procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with facelift and/or eyelid surgery.

Duration and anesthesia: Approximately 30 minutes under local anesthesia.

Recovery : Usual activities next day. Avoid forehead mimic for a few days.

Rare complications: Mild brow asymmetry due to the rupture of the tensors.

Pre-operatory evaluation: To proceed with this surgery the patient has to take a blood and heart test. In case there is a problem with the exams the surgery could not be done to the patient.
