What is Eyebrow Lift?

Eyebrow lift is a type of cosmetic surgery that adjusts the skin on your forehead to lift your eyebrows, smooth out wrinkles, and give you a more youthful appearance.

As you get older, your skin naturally loses its stretchiness. Gravity pulls your forehead downward, which creates wrinkles, and years of sun damage can make your skin weaker. You might notice frown lines between your eyebrows that make you look angry or overly serious even when you are not. You might also see horizontal lines across your forehead. Sometimes, the outer parts of your eyebrows droop, which can make you look tired or sad. If you want to fix these natural changes, eyebrow lift might be a great choice for you.

Eyebrow lift is also known as:

• A forehead lift.
• Forehead rejuvenation.
• Eyebrowplasty.
• Lateral or temporal eyebrow lift.

What is the purpose of eyebrow lift?

Eyebrow lift surgery is designed to fix:

• Horizontal wrinkles or creases across your forehead and the bridge of your nose.
• The vertical frown lines between your eyebrows, often called the "11s."
• Sagging eyebrows or hooded eyes, helping you look more alert and youthful.

Will my eye shape change with eyebrow lift?

No, a eyebrow lift does not change the actual shape of your eyes or fix droopy eyelids. This surgery specifically focuses on the forehead and the eyebrows.

Who is a good candidate for eyebrow lift?

You might be a good candidate for this procedure if you:

• Are in good physical health.
• Do not smoke.
• Have realistic goals about what the surgery can do.

Your doctor will look at your medical history and talk about your goals to decide if this is the right move for you.

Can I have eyebrow lift and other cosmetic treatments at the same time?

Yes, many people choose to have other procedures done along with a eyebrow lift. These can include:

• A full facelift or a mini facelift.
• A neck lift.
• Skin resurfacing.
• Surgery on the upper or lower eyelids.

What are the different types of eyebrow lift surgery?

There are three main techniques used by doctors:

1. The Classic Lift (Coronal Lift): This involves one long cut across the top of your head, from ear to ear. If you have a high forehead, the doctor might make the cut along your hairline instead. You may need to trim your hair if it is long, or grow it out if it is short to help hide the scar.
2. The Endoscopic Lift: The doctor makes several small cuts in your scalp. They insert a tiny tube with a camera (a scope) into one cut to see your muscles on a screen. Using tools through the other small cuts, they adjust the tissue and use small anchors to hold everything in place. This is less invasive, meaning you heal faster and have smaller scars.
3. The Limited Incision Lift: This is a mix of the first two types. The doctor makes small cuts but does not use a camera scope. This method is great for fixing "crow's feet" (wrinkles at the corners of your eyes), but it does not fix the middle of the forehead as well.

Is it possible to get eyebrow lift without surgery?

Yes. A nonsurgical eyebrow lift uses injections like Botox® to smooth out forehead wrinkles. This is a good option if you want to avoid surgery, scars, and a long recovery. The doctor injects the medicine between your eyebrows and at the corners. The benefits are similar—it reduces wrinkles and highlights your eyebrows—but the results are not permanent. You will need new injections a few times a year to keep the look.

What happens before eyebrow lift procedure?

Before the surgery, your doctor will:

• Examine your forehead area.
• Ask you to make different facial expressions to see your wrinkles clearly.
• Discuss the best surgery options to meet your goals.
• Check your overall health.
• Take photos of your face for your medical record.
• Explain the results, risks, and possible side effects.

What questions should I ask my doctor before the surgery?

It is important to be prepared. Consider asking your doctor these questions:

• What is the best way for me to get the results I want?
• How will you perform the surgery?
• How long will my recovery take?
• What are the risks involved?
• How will my face look one year, five years, or ten years from now?
• What happens if I am not happy with the results?
• Where exactly will the scars be located?

How should I prepare for eyebrow lift?

Your doctor will give you specific instructions. Usually, they include:

• Quitting smoking at least six weeks before surgery.
• Avoiding too much alcohol.
• Stopping certain medicines like aspirin.
• Growing your hair out to help cover scars.
• Arranging for someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.

Is eyebrow lift an outpatient or inpatient procedure?

A eyebrow lift is an outpatient procedure. This means you will not have to stay overnight in a hospital; you can go home the same day.

What happens during the surgery?

You will be given anesthesia so you don't feel any pain. This might be general anesthesia (which puts you to sleep) or local anesthesia (which just numbs your forehead). The doctor will make the cuts near your hairline, move the tissue, and remove extra skin or muscle that causes deep lines. Finally, they will close the cuts with stitches or staples and apply bandages to protect the area. The whole process usually takes one to three hours.

Does the surgery cause pain?

Because of the anesthesia, you won't feel pain during the surgery. Afterward, it is normal to feel some tightness, soreness, and tenderness. You will also likely have some bruising and swelling.

What happens after the eyebrow lift is finished?

You will stay in a recovery area until you are awake and the doctor says it is safe for you to leave. Since you cannot drive yourself, a friend or family member must take you home. Your doctor will give you self-care instructions, such as:

• How to care for the surgery site and bandages.
• Which pain medications are safe to take.
• How to use cool packs and keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.
• When it is safe to return to physical activity.

What are the benefits of eyebrow lift?

Eyebrow lift can:

• Make your forehead and face look refreshed.
• Lift your eyebrows to make you look younger and more awake.
• Get rid of sagging skin and deep wrinkles.
• Make you stop looking "angry" or "tired" all the time.

What are the risks or complications?

Like any surgery, there are risks, including:

• Visible scarring.
• Infection.
• Numbness or itching on the scalp.
• Eyebrows that don't move quite right.
• Allergic reactions to anesthesia.
• Loss of hair around the incision sites.
• Uneven results (asymmetry) or bleeding.

Will I have scars?

Yes, surgical eyebrow lifts do leave scars. However, doctors are very good at hiding them within your hair or right along the hairline. If you are very worried about scars, you should talk to your doctor about the nonsurgical injection options.

What should I expect during recovery?

Your recovery depends on the type of lift you had. Stitches or staples are usually removed (or dissolve) after one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling are very common. For the first two days, you must keep your head propped up, even while sleeping, to help the swelling go down. Most swelling fades in two weeks, but it can take a few months to disappear completely. You can use cool packs on the sides of your face, but never put ice directly on your forehead.

How long does it take to get back to normal?

Most people can go back to work or school within 10 to 14 days. You should avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise for several weeks to make sure your body heals correctly.

When will I see the final results?

It can take up to six months for your forehead to heal fully and for the final results to be visible. Your doctor will see you for follow-up visits to make sure everything is healing as it should.

How long do the results last?

The results of a surgical eyebrow lift are considered permanent, and they can last a lifetime. However, as you continue to age, your skin will naturally lose some elasticity, and new wrinkles might eventually appear. They will usually not be as deep or severe as they were before the surgery. You can help your results last longer by wearing sunscreen every day to protect your skin from the sun.

When should I contact my doctor after surgery?

You should call your doctor immediately if you experience:

• A fever higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.77 degrees Celsius).
• Severe swelling that does not get better.
• Bleeding at the site of the surgery.
• Pain that is very intense and doesn't stop.
• Any sudden or strange changes in how you look.
