Getting old is unstoppable and inevitable, rather than being unhappy, the important thing is to be able to control this process. The first effects of aging start around our eyes. Due to aging, the elasticity of our facial tissues decreases, sagging begins on our forehead and eyelids, and as a result, your forehead and eyebrows slide over your eyelids. Horizontal lines formed on the forehead; a sleepy, unhappy or tired face appearance, and vertical lines in the middle of the eyebrows cause an angry appearance. Surgeries known as forehead lift or eyebrow lift aim to give the eyes and forehead a more vigorous and energetic look and rejuvenate this area.
How is eyebrow lift surgery performed?
Many different methods can be used in eyebrow lift surgeries, but the most common and popular method today is the procedures that are performed with the help of small and thin cameras called endoscopy, without making any incisions on the forehead and leaving no traces. In endoscopic eyebrow lift surgeries, it is possible to perform the surgery by opening small holes at several different points in the inner parts of the scalp without causing almost any bleeding and leaving a scar on the forehead.
Thanks to this method, the scar (scar) formation that occurs in the old methods is prevented and the recovery period is shorter with less swelling. The disadvantage of this technique is that the incisions made in the hairy tissue cause some hair loss. I recommend that patients who are very sensitive about this subject turn to other techniques.
In addition, eyebrow lift surgeries can be performed with hidden incisions that can be made just above the eyebrow or from the wrinkles on the forehead and hairline right in front of me. These procedures are generally applied to patients who are older or younger and who have severe eyebrow sagging. Redness will occur for a while at the beginning of the incision sites. However, after a while, there is almost no scar in these areas.
If the end points of the eyebrows (that is, the parts close to our ears) are lifted too much, this time an angry expression is reflected on the face and the relationship between the eyebrows and eyes is reduced, and the eyes are exposed. As a result, these situations create an unnatural and undesirable appearance. For this reason, experience is very important as in all aesthetic surgeries. It is necessary to investigate your physician's experience in these operations. One of the other important risks is the traces or hair loss that will occur after the surgery. In addition, damage to the nerves in the operation area, bleeding or infections are rare problems.
What should be done in the recovery period after eyebrow lift surgery?
After brow lift and forehead lift operations, a band-dressing is applied around your eyebrows and for a few days. During this period, by applying cold compresses to your forehead, it helps to reduce the edema faster.
