A brow
lift, also called an endobrow
lift or a forehead lift, is a
surgical procedure designed to
reduce sagging in the skin on the
forehead, upper eyelids, and
eyebrows.
Brow lifts
are most often used to help
reverse signs of aging, usually
in individuals over the age of
40, although this procedure is
suitable for adult patients of
any age. As the body ages, skin
loses some of its elasticity and
resilience.
This trend,
along with years of skin exposure
to environmental effects, can
result in the formation of deep
wrinkles and droopy skin. A brow
lift can help reverse the process
by minimizing creases in the
forehead and reducing furrowed
brow lines, droopy eyebrows, and
hooding over the eyes.
Brow lifts
are typically outpatient
procedures. They may be performed
under local or general anesthetic
depending on the extent of the
work needed. The surgery can be
accomplished using one of two
techniques: the classic lift or
the endoscopic lift.
The classic
lift makes use of a single
continuous incision which runs
along the hairline from one ear
to the other. Sagging tissues are
manipulated into place and
portions of the muscles and skin
causing the deep lines and
wrinkles are removed.

The
endoscopic lift makes
use of several short
incisions that run along
the scalp. A scope is
inserted into one of the
incisions so the surgeon
can view the tissues and
muscles.
A
second scope is then
inserted into another
incision, so that the
necessary modifications
can be made to the
underlying muscles and
tissues.
Tiny
titanium anchors
inserted under the skin
near the hairline serve
to secure sagging
tissue.
The
advantage of the
endoscopic procedure is
that it is much less
invasive than the
classic lift, allowing
for a reduced recovery
time and minimal
scarring.

Both the
classic and endoscopic lift
methods require stitches or
staples to close the incisions.
Some procedures will also make
use of temporary fixation screws,
removed after two weeks, which
hold the reconstructed brow in
place while the body heals.
All
patients should expect swelling
and bruising of the face,
including those areas adjacent to
the brow. Keeping the head
elevated as much for possible for
the first few days after surgery
will help minimize these
side-effects. Other possible
side-effects include temporary
numbness of the face and
headaches. Patients of a classic
brow lift may also find that they
experience some itching and hair
loss.
Brow lifts,
as with any other type of
surgical procedure, do present
some potential risks. Patients
run the risk of developing an
infection around the incision
sites.
They may
experience facial muscle weakness
and stiffness, as well as
excessive scarring. Other, more
serious side-effects can include
permanent damage to facial nerves
and loss of facial motion.
For more
information about brow lifts and
to determine if this procedure is
right for you, contact a local
cosmetic surgeon and arrange for
a personal consultation.
