Brow Lift Surgery

Brow Lift Procedure in Turkey

It is a cosmetic surgery that is also called a forehead lift. During the treatment, the skin’s soft tissue is raised. This gives a healthier appearance to the area around the eyes, brow, and forehead. One benefit of this method is that incisions heal faster and do less damage to the tissue.

Surgeons or non-surgical methods can perform this procedure, depending on the patient’s desires and preferences. Combining this procedure with a facelift or neck lift may improve results.

Am I a good candidate for Brow Lift in Turkey? 

  1. If you have upper eyelids and brows that are sagging and look heavy
  2. If you don’t have any serious health problems and have realistic expectations
  3. If you have prominent “frown lines” in the center of the forehead as well as horizontal wrinkles

That means you are a good candidate for this treatment.

Things to consider before Brow Lift in Turkey

  • Stop using aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, Vitamin E, herbal supplements, or any medications containing these compounds for two weeks before surgery.

Types of Brow Lift

1. Endoscopic Brow Lift

The surgeon can reach the tissues inside the forehead by making small cuts in the scalp. They use a long, thin tube with a camera and light called an endoscope. An endoscopic brow lift can make you look younger by fixing a heavy or drooping brow.

2. Open (Coronal) Brow Lift

The surgeon makes a lengthy incision across the forehead in the hairline or one of the forehead creases. Removing excess fat and skin achieves the new brow position. After that, the surgeon pull and sew the remaining skin together.

3. Temporal Brow Lift

The surgeon performs a temporal or limited cut under local anesthesia, which is the least invasive method. To lift the upper part of your brow, your doctor will make several small cuts just above each temple. For lateral eyebrow drooping, a mini-brow lift or temporal brow lift may be appropriate.

How is Brow Lift performed in Turkey? 

 Plastic surgeons can restore volume and gently pull particular parts of the face that have lost volume due to gravity. The surgeon use different methods to achieve various effects. The incisions and scars will depend on the method your surgeon uses. Depending on the specifics of your brow lift, your surgeon may put you under general or regional anesthetic.

 For the endoscopic lift, you will have a few smaller incisions in your head because of the long tube used in the operation. As a second option, an open (coronal) brow lift involves incisions behind the hairline throughout the head from ear to ear or mostly on top.

After making the cut, the front part of the head will cover the back part. Additionally, the surgeon will raise the forehead to a new position. Then, the surgeon removes the overlapping sections of the scalp. Finally, the surgeon uses stitches or tiny clips to close the incisions.
