Treatment
Sagging eyebrows give you a sad facial expression. Moreover, because the eyebrows press on the upper eyelids, so to speak, excess skin develops, often folding in half, which also makes you look older.
Discreetly lifting the outer half of the eyebrows restores an open look with a youthful appearance.
How is a brow lift performed?
Through a skin incision in the scalp hair, just above the temple, a subcutaneous tunnel is made to the eyebrow. The connective tissue is then lifted and reattached.
Important information
Scar
After a brow lift, there is no visible scar.
Possible risks
The correction is done discreetly while preserving your forehead facial expression and taking care of left-right symmetry. So-called 'cat eyes' due to overcorrection are avoided by your plastic surgeon's experience.
Infection is avoided by the sterile surgical procedure. It is best to wash the hair before the procedure to wash away bacteria. The procedure is also reversible, the result can be undone at any time if desired.
Anaesthetic
Usually, local anaesthesia is sufficient. A short-acting sedative is administered to nervous patients. This anaesthesia can come in several gradations, up to and including a sleeping anaesthetic.
Precautions
All our procedures are performed in the safest conditions by the plastic surgeon assisted by a professional team.
Although a brow lift is usually done under local anaesthetic, you will still be continuously monitored during the procedure (automatic, repeated blood pressure readings, constant oxygen saturation readings, electrocardiogram). One or two fully qualified nurses are part of the team. Only this procedure guarantees the highest possible safety for you as a patient.
Local anaesthesia not only ensures a pain-free procedure, but also minimises blood loss and bruising
If you are taking blood-thinning medications, please inform your plastic surgeon in advance (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid, asaflow, cardioaspirin, dipiridamole, plavix, sintrom, marevan and others).
After your procedure, you will be given your plastic surgeon's personal mobile phone number so that you feel safe.
Recovery
After the procedure, you may go home after resting for an hour. There is no dressing. The next day, the eyes will swell considerably. This swelling subsides after about three days. Any pain will be controlled in the first 24 hours with classic painkillers such as ibuprofen and paracetamol.
