Brow Lift

One of the most important factors affecting the appearance of the face and even the general appearance is whether the individual has eyebrows aligned at the aesthetic eyebrow level. Many people who want to have a dynamic facial expression turn to methods such as eyebrow plucking techniques to align their eyebrows aesthetically, but one of the effective ways to get effective results in this regard is eyebrow lift operations. 

What is Brow Lift?

It is an intervention also known as eyebrow lift, temple lift and forehead lift.  Eyebrow lifting, which is a very advantageous procedure especially for individuals who need low eyebrow correction, can be done with different techniques. Each of these techniques is advantageous in different ways and offers effective results in various issues such as straightening between eyebrows.Thanks to eyebrow lifting, which is within the scope of upper face rejuvenation  operations, a youthful look can be obtained. Eyebrow lift should be performed by plastic surgeons who have experience in this field. 

Definition and Application Methods of Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lift surgery is an operation performed to make the eyebrows more taut and raised. During this surgery, aesthetically beneficial procedures such as tightening of the shocks around the eyebrows are performed. Thanks to the procedures in question, different needs such as the need to achieve a dynamic appearance throughout the upper face, not the need to pull  up the eyebrow line, can be met.

Who Is Brow Lift Suitable For?

Eyebrow lift procedures are procedures that can be suitable for many people. Many different patient profiles can be found suitable for eyebrow lift operations. Some individuals may have very low eyebrows due to congenital or the effect of various external factors such as the use of piercings. If the eyebrows are too low, that is, misaligned, it can lead to an unaesthetic appearance throughout the face, especially on the upper face. In some cases, droopy eyebrows can even make the individual look older than they are, making it a very uncomfortable situation. It is possible for patients suffering from such conditions to benefit from eyebrow lift interventions, which are highly effective. 

Brow Lift Candidate Criteria 

The candidate criteria determined for eyebrow lift can be explained in a few items.

  • Be over the age of 18 
  • Having congenital droopy eyebrows or problems such as incorrect eyebrow alignment due to factors such as aging 
  • Not having any health problems that will prevent plastic surgery interventions 

Situations Where Brow Lift Surgery Is Not Suitable

There are a few situations where brow lift surgery is not suitable. The first of these situations is that the individual has not completed the age of 18. It is not legally possible for individuals under the age of 18 to be eligible for eyebrow lift surgeries and it is quite illogical because their facial features are not fully prominent. In addition, the presence of extreme health problems that will prevent the individual from performing procedures within the scope of surgical interventions such as incision  is among the situations where eyebrow lift surgery will not be considered appropriate. 

Brow Lift Methods

There are many methods that can be used as eyebrow lift methods. Many people resort to methods such as face yoga or different eyebrow plucking techniques to change the eyebrow alignment and make their eyebrows look more raised. However, the effects of these methods are usually limited and in some cases may not cause any effect. Eyebrow lifting methods used in the field of plastic surgery are very effective. Methods such as eyebrow lift applications or eyebrow lift surgeries performed with threads  are very effective in correcting tired expression and making the face look more dynamic. The most commonly used eyebrow lift methods in the field of plastic surgery are the classical method and the endoscopic method. 



Classic Brow Lift 

The classical eyebrow lift method is one of the most preferred and highly effective methods. In this method, an incision is made in the area where the hairline begins. Through this incision, the forehead and therefore the tissues in the eyebrow area are compressed and lifted up. Classical eyebrow lift can be seen as the ideal method, especially for individuals who are very old and whose droopy eyebrow problem is very advanced. 

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The endoscopic eyebrow lift method is a very innovative method. In this method, as the name of the method suggests, imaging is provided with endoscopic devices. This imaging is provided through small incisions made in the temple area, and it becomes possible to compress the tissues in the area and pull them upwards. Endoscopic eyebrow lift is a minimal, innovative but less effective method than classical methods among surgical eyebrow aesthetic  methods.

Advantages of Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lift surgery is an operation that offers advantages in many ways. Thanks to this surgery, individuals who have very low eyebrows congenitally and individuals who have low eyebrows problems because they are very old are helped to gain an advantage. Contrary to popular belief, eyebrow lift surgery can help you gain an advantage not only in raising the eyebrow line, but also in making the face look younger and more dynamic.  

A Younger and Vigorous Face 

One of the main factors that help to achieve a young and vigorous appearance on a face is that the eyebrows are correctly aligned, raised and aesthetic. Therefore, many people, especially individuals with droopy eyebrow problems, can achieve advantageous results with the effect of eyebrow lift surgery on providing a younger and more vigorous facial appearance. Especially after eyebrow lift surgeries performed using the right methods, it may be possible for individuals to look as young as 5, 10 or even 15 years old. 

Removal of Forehead and Eye Contour Sagging

Brow lift surgery is a surgical intervention that not only re-aligns the eyebrows, but also provides a taut appearance in the upper face area. The main reason for this situation is the tightening of the tissues throughout the forehead and the application of lifting procedures towards the top during eyebrow lift surgery. In this way, it is possible to get rid of sagging around the forehead and eyes within the scope of the advantages of eyebrow lift surgery. 

Recovery Process After Brow Lift Surgery

As with any surgical intervention, it is necessary to experience a recovery process after eyebrow lift surgeries. This healing process is a very important period in terms of eliminating the damage to the tissues in the region, obtaining effective results from the surgery and avoiding complications. During the recovery process after eyebrow lift surgery, it is necessary to take into account the doctor’s recommendations, what needs to be done for care, and some situations that should be avoided. 

Post-Operative Care and Recovery Process 

The care recommendations to be considered during the recovery process after eyebrow lift surgery can be explained in a few items. 

  • After eyebrow lift surgery, it is necessary to keep the edema under control by keeping the head elevated. 
  • After the operation, it may be necessary to control edema and pain by applying cold in a controlled manner. 
  • After eyebrow lifting, cosmetic products such as heavy skin care products should not be used on the upper face, especially in the eyebrow and temple area. 
  • It is necessary to protect the surgical area from the sun’s rays with materials such as sunglasses. 

Post-Operative Scar Reduction and Care

There is no need to make an extreme effort to reduce scars after eyebrow lift surgeries because surgical incisions that may cause scarring formation after the surgery are made in areas that are not very visible, such as the scalp. However, in extreme cases, it is also possible to turn to care creams or laser treatments in order to reduce the scars of eyebrow lift surgery. 




Frequently Asked Questions

Is eyebrow lift permanent?

How permanent the eyebrow lift will lead to results varies according to the situation. In eyebrow lift operations performed with the endoscopic eyebrow lift method, the effect lasts for several years, as a minimal procedure is applied to the area. The effect of eyebrow lift surgeries performed with classical methods can continue even for as long as 10 years. However, the permanence of eyebrow lift procedures performed with non-surgical methods such as thread suspension method is usually between 6 and 12 months. 

Will there be any scars after eyebrow lift?

Whether there will be a scar after eyebrow lifting varies according to the application method. In non-surgical methods such as the rope suspension method, there may be a few scars in the form of small spots that cannot be seen even with the naked eye due to microneedle insertions alone. After eyebrow lift surgeries performed with classical or endoscopic methods, scarring remains due to incision. However, the scar in question is not very disturbing because it is in areas that are not seen much, such as the scalp area. 

Is eyebrow lift painful?

Eyebrow lift is usually not a painful procedure. General anesthesia is used in surgical eyebrow lift procedures, and local anesthesia is used in eyebrow lift procedures performed with non-surgical methods. Thanks to this local or general anesthesia, you will not feel anything, including pain, during the eyebrow lift procedure. However, it is quite normal and even possible to experience pain after eyebrow lift procedures. This pain can be kept under control with painkillers recommended by plastic surgeons. 

When can I return to normal life after eyebrow lift?

When you can return to normal life after eyebrow lift may vary depending on your general health status, your preferred eyebrow lift method and the experience of the plastic surgeon. After non-surgical eyebrow lift procedures, it may be enough to experience only a few days of rest to return to normal life. However, when it comes to more complicated operations such as classic eyebrow lift surgeries, it is necessary to rest for at least a few weeks in order to return to normal life. 

When will the results be seen after the eyebrow lift procedure?

When the results will be seen after the eyebrow lift procedure varies depending on the situation. Since there is no major damage and edema after eyebrow lift procedures performed with non-surgical methods, results can be seen within a few days after the operation. However, when it comes to methods such as classical eyebrow lift surgery, it is necessary to wait at least a few weeks to see the results because it is not possible to see the results of the procedure without the edema going down.  

Is there an age limit for eyebrow lift?

As with all kinds of surgical interventions, there is an age limit for eyebrow lifting. The lower age limit for eyebrow lift is set at 18. However, many plastic surgeons argue that you should be over the age of 35-40 to benefit from methods such as classical eyebrow lift surgery. For patients under the age of 35-40, more minimal methods such as thread suspension method are generally preferred, not complicated methods such as eyebrow lift surgery. As a result of situations such as the fact that the individual has very low eyebrows congenitally, effective eyebrow lift surgeries can be applied.
