What is a brow lift/eyebrow lift?
A brow lift, also known as an eyebrow lift, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and tissue from the forehead and eyebrows. This procedure is performed to improve the appearance of the face and reduce the signs of aging. There are several types of brow lifts, including endoscopic brow lifts, open brow lifts, and temporal lifts. The type of brow lift performed depends on several factors, including the patient’s age, skin type, and specific goals.
The brow lift/eyebrow lift procedure
Anesthesia
An eyebrow lift can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference and Dr. Rosalia Luketina’s recommendation. This ensures the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure.
Choice of incision technique
There are several incision techniques for a brow lift, including the traditional coronal incision, endoscopic brow lift, and limited incision technique. The doctor will choose the most appropriate technique based on the patient’s specific needs and desired outcome.
Performing the forehead lift
Traditional coronal incision: A long incision is made across the top of the head, which is hidden in the hairline. The surgeon then lifts the forehead skin, repositions the underlying muscles and tissue, and removes excess skin before closing the incision.
Endoscopic forehead lift: Several small incisions are made in the hairline and an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted to guide the surgeon. Using special instruments, the surgeon lifts and repositions the forehead tissue, securing it with sutures or other fixation devices.
Limited incision technique: Small incisions are made at the temples and sometimes above the eyebrows. The surgeon lifts and reposition the tissue through these incisions, allowing for more targeted treatment.
Closing the incisions Once the desired tightening has been achieved, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures, staples, or adhesive strips. In some cases, drains may be placed to prevent fluid accumulation.
What to expect...
Preoperative assessment and preparation
After the procedure, patients must follow Dr. Rosalia Luketina's postoperative instructions. Pain management is required, and patients should expect swelling and bruising around the incision site. Follow-up appointments are scheduled with the doctor to monitor the healing process and ensure that the desired result has been achieved.
Immediate aftercare
After the brow lift, the surgeon may apply a cooling gel or cold compress to the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort. A light compression bandage or dressing may be used to support the healing process.
Recovery schedule
Patients should expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which usually subside within one to two weeks. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a week, but should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least two to four weeks.
Post-procedure care instructions
Patients should follow the surgeon's instructions for post-operative care, such as keeping the incision site clean and dry and avoiding exposure to sunlight.
