The first step in finding out more about brow lift surgery is to schedule a private consultation. In this consultation, you will meet directly with your surgeon. This gives you an opportunity to discuss your concerns and get all of your questions answered

To book a surgery date you can contact our team after a face to face consultation has been completed. You must wait 7 days from the consultation to book a procedure.  

At the end of your consultation, your surgeon will make recommendations about the best course of action to take for your breast surgery to achieve the result you are after. Every patient is different, and results always vary. While we can look at your inspiration images, we cannot ever guarantee your post surgery results. You must take this into consideration before proceeding with surgery.

Once you’ve booked your surgery date, a pre surgery appointment will be scheduled 4 weeks prior to your date. This is your chance to meet with your surgeon again, ask any further questions, go over the surgery plan and take some images. This appointment ensures you’re well prepared for the upcoming surgery date.

The procedure is often performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, and recovery time varies depending on the type of brow lift performed.

Brow lift procedures can be performed in multiple ways, with your hairline and eyebrow positions sometimes being a factor on which procedures will work best. Brow lifts are performed under general anaesthetic.

A traditional brow lift involves an incision being made behind the hairline across the top of the head from temple to temple. Excess tissue under the skin can be removed, and small muscles that create wrinkles can be weakened or removed.

The surgeon will then elevate the eyebrows and fix them to a higher position. The skin on the forehead is also pulled upward, with excess skin being trimmed back, helping to tighten the forehead skin.

An endoscopic brow lift involves a thin instrument with a tiny video camera being passed through an incision and being positioned close to the brow. The forehead skin is then released from the underlying bone and moved upward. Sutures are then laid to help lift the brow.

• Infection that may require treatment with antibiotics or further surgery in some cases
• Heavy bleeding from an operated site
• Allergic reaction to sutures, dressings or antiseptic solutions
• Pain, bruising and swelling around the operated site(s)
• Keloids and hypertrophic scars that are raised, red and thickened scars. These scars may form over the healed incisions. They may be itchy, annoying and unsightly but are not a threat to health
• Short-term nausea following general anaesthesia and other risks related to anaesthesia

Specific risks and complications associated with brow lift surgery include:

• Heavy bleeding from an operated site

• Bruising and swelling

• Temporary numbness at operated site(s) and/or nerve damage resulting in permanent numbness at operated site(s)

• Numbness may be replaced by intense itchiness, which typically resolves within several months as nerves heal

• No movement or poor movement of the forehead muscles in the first days after surgery

• In rare cases, permanent injury to the nerves that control eyebrow movement can result in asymmetry of the eyebrows. Revisional surgery may be necessary to improve appearance

• The hairline may raise slightly

• Temporary hair loss may occur near the treated area

• Hair thinning or loss may appear next to the line of incision

• Revisional surgery may be necessary to correct complications.
