An eyebrow lift is a plastic surgery procedure that lifts the eyebrows to a more youthful and alert position. The procedure is suitable for those who experience heavy or drooping eyebrows that can give a tired and older appearance.
What is an eyebrow lift?
An eyebrow lift involves surgical correction of the position of the eyebrows. The procedure removes excess skin and tissue and lifts the eyebrows to give you a more alert and refreshed appearance. Typical results include a fresher, younger, and more harmonious appearance.
The procedure is performed by a plastic surgery specialist at TBL Medical, who has extensive experience in cosmetic surgery, lipedema, liposuction, breast surgery, and body contouring.
Who is this procedure suitable for?
Eyebrow lifts are well suited for people who experience drooping eyebrows with age, or who have genetically low eyebrows. The procedure may also be suitable if you find that heavy eyebrows interfere with your field of vision. To be eligible, you should be in good general health and have realistic expectations of the results.
Preparations before surgery
Before the surgery, you will have a thorough consultation with our plastic surgeon to discuss your needs and expectations. You should stop smoking at least 6 weeks before the surgery and avoid blood-thinning medications after consulting with the surgeon. A general medical examination will be performed to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the surgery.
How is the procedure performed?
Eyebrow lifts are usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, but can also be performed under general anesthesia. The procedure usually lasts between one and two hours. The incisions are typically made along the hairline to minimize visible scarring. The stitches used are often self-dissolving, and scarring is normally discreet.
After the operation (aftercare)
The recovery period after an eyebrow lift is normally 7-14 days. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the surgical area are common during the first few days. Keep your head elevated for the first few days after surgery to reduce swelling. Normal activities such as work can usually be resumed after 1-2 weeks, while exercise should be postponed for about 4 weeks.
Risks and possible complications
It is common to experience swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness after the procedure. Serious complications are very rare, but infections, bleeding, or asymmetry may occur in individual cases.
Expected result
The final result of the eyebrow lift is usually visible after 3-6 months, when all swelling has subsided. The result lasts for many years, but natural aging will eventually affect the position of the eyebrows again. Realistic expectations are crucial for satisfaction with the result.
