endoscopic browlift |
With aging the forehead skin can develop wrinkles and the eyebrows droop, giving the appearance of being tired, angry or sad. It can also increase the appearance of extra upper eyelid skin that occurs with age. A browlift reduces the wrinkles in the forehead and returns the eyebrows to a more youthful position, giving a fresher, more relaxed appearance.
Browlifts can be performed through an incision within the hairline, or with an endoscope, making the procedure possible through much smaller incisions. The use of small incisions decreases a number of problems with the older procedure, such as scarring, numbness of the scalp, and hair loss around the incision.
As well as reducing the wrinkles on the forehead and lifting sagging eyebrows, it is also possible to permanently modify some of the muscles that form creases between the eyebrows (glabella) and crows feet, producing a more permanent solution to these lines, similar to the effect of BotoxTM.
Browlift
is performed under general anaesthetic as a day surgery or overnight
stay procedure. After the surgery there is some bruiising and swelling,
that usually takes 7-10 days to resolve, with most patients returning
to work after 10 days.
