Who can undergo brow lift surgery?
Brow lift surgery is generally performed in men and women over the age of 40 who have sagging in the forehead and brow area.
As the forehead ages, the tissues begin to relax and droop, and the existing forehead lines deepen. This may create a tired or stern facial expression. Poor nutrition, smoking, an irregular lifestyle, stress, air pollution and inadequate skin care can accelerate this process.
With brow lift surgery, forehead lines can be softened and brows that have descended over the eyes can be repositioned. This gives the patient a more refreshed look and may also improve the lines around the eyes.
If the degree of sagging is more severe and skin removal is necessary, a classic forehead lift technique may be preferred. In some patients, endoscopic or more limited approaches can be used depending on anatomy and expectations.
Are the results permanent?
A brow lift does not stop aging forever, but it can provide a long-lasting rejuvenating effect and a more open, energetic expression.
What happens after surgery?
- Mild swelling and bruising may occur in the forehead and around the eyes.
- Temporary numbness or tightness can be felt in the early period.
- Patients are generally able to return to social life within a short time, depending on healing.
- The forehead and brow area should be protected from trauma.
- Follow-up visits are important for monitoring the healing process.
- The result becomes clearer as swelling resolves.
- A more refreshed and alert facial expression is achieved.
