Brow Lift Surgery

A youthful looking brow is located slightly above the orbital rim in females & at the level of orbital rim in males. Normally in females it arches outwards with lateral end or ‘tail’ being positioned at slightly higher level than medial end. The gravity & aging cause drooping of eyebrows, also called ‘Hooding’. This makes our face look sad & tired. Also with aging, changes in muscles of facial expression give rise to horizontal wrinkle lines over forehead & vertical frown lines between the eyebrows & root of nose. Brow lift surgery tightens the skin & soft tissue over forehead & repositions the eyebrows & reduces the wrinkling over forehead.

Brow Lift Surgery Procedure

There are two types of brow lift surgery. The one that suits you is chosen depending upon severity of eyebrow drooping & forehead wrinkles, your skin type, forehead height & hairline.

  • Open Brow Lift :This is also called Coronal brow lift. In this type incision is taken along hairline or slightly behind the hairline. The forehead skin is lifted from underlying soft tissues. After soft tissue & muscles are tightened, the skin is stretched & excess skin is removed. After repositioning eyebrows in desired position, skin is stitched with sutures.
  • Endoscopic Brow Lift:In this, multiple tiny incisions are taken in various locations behind hairline. Through these incisions an endoscope ( a tube with light & camera attached to one end) & other special instruments are passed. The muscle & soft tissue under the skin are adjusted to correct the wrinkles. The eyebrows are lifted in desired position & incisions are closed with suture.
