Eyebrow lifting surgery

There are several variants of lifting procedures. Temporal manipulation implies removal of excess skin, is characterized by low traumatism and is performed under mechanical anesthesia. It leaves marks and scars.
If the sagging is mild or there are horizontal lines on the forehead, an endoscopic brow lift is the most frequently chosen method. The procedure is done invasively or non-invasively. An open brow lift is performed in cases of significant ptosis.
After the lift, rehabilitation is required. The recovery time depends on which procedure was performed, whether it was invasive or non-invasive. In most cases, the recovery time is no more than 14 days, but in some situations, it can take up to a month.
How is brow lift surgery done?
During the surgical intervention, the incision is made in the temporal area of the head, where the hair grows. Sometimes similar incisions need to be made in the area of the upper eyelids, forehead.
An open lift (classic, coronal lifting) is performed in this way:
• The surgeon makes a long incision along the hairline or crease of the forehead.
• The coda is separated from the tissue underneath it.
• The doctor dissects the muscular layer, removes excess skin tissue and fat.
• The remaining tissue is tightened.
• Stitches are put in place where the incisions are made.
The endoscopic variant of the lift implies the insertion of an endoscope through small incisions made beforehand in order to see all the manipulations that are performed in the subcutaneous layer.
There is another type of surgical intervention that involves the use of mixed effects. Here, the surgeon may make small incisions, occasionally using an endoscope to access the removed points. This type of exposure allows the effect on the muscles that lower the forehead, achieving the disappearance of existing wrinkles.
Endoscopic brow lift
The brow lift is performed in the same way to remove cosmetic defects. Endoscopic forehead and brow lift is usually performed if eyelid correction is not required. The incisions are made by means of punctures.
The endoscopic brow lift is performed without making the classical incisions, removing excess skin tissue. In addition, the surgeon cuts and fixes the soft tissues of the face in a higher position. The punctures through which the injections for the brow lift and forehead lift are inserted are made in the scalp to avoid scarring in the zygomatic mecca.
What is a benefit of an endoscopic brow lift as opposed to a classic forehead lift?
• There is no sign of the procedure.
• The procedure is relatively gentle.
• Low risk of complications.
• Fast recovery time.
Although this type of lift does not involve incisions, the surgeon can control the action using a small camera that is inserted through a puncture. The technique allows you to reduce the period of rehabilitation, reducing the risk of complications.
The procedure usually lasts a few hours, after which a period of rehabilitation is required. The recovery time depends on the technique used and the complexity of the correction. After the surgical brow lift, you should limit your activities, not drink alcohol, not smoke and not affect the surgical area.
