Browplasty (Brow Lift)
A Browplasty is a cosmetic surgery that aims to reposition the forehead, minimize wrinkles, and create a more youthful appearance. If the effects of time and gravity have caused your forehead to portray seriousness, anger, or exhaustion, you may want to take into account getting a Browplasty. While the procedure is meant to be long-lasting, it is important to note that mild wrinkles may reappear as time passes.
Why get a Browplasty?
Brow lift surgery could be a suitable option for you if you are dissatisfied with your natural facial expression, experiencing sagging eyebrows, excessive skin on the eyelids, a high hairline, pronounced forehead wrinkles, or deep lines in your brow area.
Here are a few advantages of undergoing a brow lift:
- Bring your eyebrows up to a higher position to appear more awake and younger.
- Lift a drooping or sagging eyebrow that droops over your upper eyelid.
- Eliminate the wrinkles on your forehead and the lines formed by frowning.
- Reduce the size of your forehead by shifting the hairline towards the front.
- Appear more cheerful, amiable, and welcoming.
- Enhance your self-perception and boost your belief in yourself.
Types of Browplasty
According to your needs, the surgeons at Beauty Cosmetic Clinic will recommend the appropriate type of eyebrow lift for you.
The traditional brow lift, also called the coronal eyebrow lift, is a procedure where a single long incision is made from the level of your ears and around your hairline. While many surgeons do not commonly use this method anymore, in certain cases a classic brow lift may be done to achieve the desired outcome.
The endoscopic brow lift is a less invasive procedure compared to the traditional brow lift as it requires smaller incisions. Additionally, this technique does not leave any noticeable marks, and it effectively lifts and tightens the skin between the hairline and eyebrows.
Temporal brow-lift, which is also referred to as a limited incision eyebrow lift, entails making incisions that are slightly longer than those used in an endoscopic browlift.
Are You An Ideal Candidate?
This procedure is suitable for individuals between the ages of 40 and 60, who are in good health and have developed wrinkles, furrows, and a drooping or sagging brow.
A browplasty, also known as a brow lift, is beneficial for individuals facing vision difficulties due to the obstruction caused by a drooping brow and loose upper eyelids. To address this issue, a browplasty is frequently performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
Preparing For Browplasty
Patients should discontinue the use of any anti-inflammatory medications for at least two weeks prior to the procedure. It is necessary to refrain from smoking for a minimum of one month before and after the procedure as it can hinder the body’s healing process and potentially compromise the outcome of the forehead lift surgery.
It is important to refrain from consuming herbal teas, green teas, vitamins, aspirin, and omega 3 capsules for a minimum of two weeks prior to undergoing a brow-lift surgery.
What occurs during a Browplasty surgery?
When you undergo a brow lift, you will be given anesthesia to prevent any discomfort. The type of anesthesia you receive will depend on the specific procedure – it can either be local anesthesia to numb the forehead area where the procedure will take place, or general anesthesia that will induce sleep.
After the anesthesia takes effect, the surgeon will make an incision on your forehead near your hairline. They will then manipulate your tissue and eliminate specific areas of muscles and skin that are responsible for wrinkles or prominent frown lines.
After performing the surgery, the surgeon will use either stitches or staples to close the incisions. To safeguard the stitches, they will cover the surgical site with padding and bandages.
The duration of a brow lift procedure typically ranges from one to three hours.
What is the duration of the recovery period for a Browplasty procedure?
The recovery period for a brow lift procedure usually lasts between one to two weeks. Your surgeon will inform you about when you can resume your regular activities and return to work. Following the surgery, your surgeon will provide you and your caregiver with specific guidelines for postoperative care, which will include details on:
- Incision care
- Typical symptoms you will experience
- Potential signs of complications
Following all the patient care instructions given by your surgeon is crucial. Additionally, it is essential to be aware that the duration of recovery can vary significantly from person to person.
How long does it take to see the effects of a brow lift?
After undergoing a brow lift procedure, it typically requires about six months for your forehead to fully recover. Once your body has completely healed, you will be able to observe the outcome of the surgery. To ensure the success of the procedure, your surgeon will arrange follow-up consultations throughout your recovery period.
