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.
