What is a brow lift?
A brow lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the forehead and eyebrow area, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Over time, the effects of aging, gravity, and repetitive facial expressions can cause the eyebrows and forehead to sag or develop deep furrows and lines. This can lead to a perpetually tired or angry expression, making individuals appear older than they feel. A surgical brow lift effectively addresses these concerns by lifting the eyebrows and smoothing the forehead, resulting in a more alert, harmonious, and rejuvenated facial appearance.
There are different techniques for a brow lift. Dr. Gino Vissers will carefully assess and discuss with you what brow lift technique would be best for your anatomy.
Should I undergo a brow lift?
A brow lift is a good procedure for anyone who wants to lift their eyebrows or rejuvenate the forehead region.
During your consultation, Dr. Gino Vissers will assess your overall facial anatomy, your eyebrows, and forehead, and determine whether you are a good candidate for a brow lift.
A brow lift can treat any of the following issues:
- Heavy, droopy eyebrows
- Forehead wrinkles
- Tired look
- Asymmetrical eyebrows
What happens during the procedure?
During a brow lift procedure, Dr. Gino Vissers will carefully make small and discreet incisions, strategically hidden within the hairline or along natural creases of the forehead. Through these incisions, the underlying tissues and muscles are repositioned and tightened, removing excess skin if necessary. The eyebrows are lifted to a more aesthetically pleasing position, and any forehead lines or creases are smoothed out.
A brow lift can be tailored to meet each patient's unique needs and desired outcome. Whether it's correcting asymmetry, reducing frown lines, or lifting drooping eyebrows, Dr. Gino Vissers will work closely with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that best achieves your goals.
What to expect after a brow lift?
Recovery after brow lift typically involves a short downtime. Patients will need to take about a week off from work to rest and recover. Expect some swelling and bruising that will build over the first few days, then diminish, and slowly fade over the next 7-10 days. Most patients are back to full activity within 2 weeks.
In some cases, Dr. Gino Vissers may use non-absorbable sutures as part of the technique. In this case, Dr. Gino Vissers will see you back a few days after your procedure to remove the sutures.
Dr. Gino Vissers will provide detailed post-operative instructions to promote optimal healing and ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process.
