The
surgeon will perform an incision across upper part of the head that will
extend from ear to ear, but the resulting scar will be concealed by the
hair. The scalp and the skin of the forehead will be separated from the
bone, the surgeon will be able to see the lax and stiff muscles clearly
and will proceed freely. Due to the fact that the surgeon will have free
access to the area, he will be able to perform a very selective job, he
will be able to work on each muscle independently and give them the exact
degree of tension that each of them need, avoiding a uniform tightening
of all the area that would result in quite an artificial look.
2. Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery: It is very similar to
the first procedure but the access to the muscular tissues is not accomplished
by the coronal incision; instead, the surgeon makes 5 small incisions
through which he will introduce an endoscope that enlarges the images
and shows them on a screen. Thanks to this instrument and the rest of
the special surgical instruments that are introduced through these incisions,
the muscles can be tightened without having to completely expose them.
Endoscopic brow lift surgery is usually associated with the suspension
methods described further below.
3. Temporal Brow Lift Surgery: Also known as mini face
lift or lateral brow lift surgery. The surgeon makes a vertical incision
on the temples behind the line of hair growth so that the resulting scar
will be concealed. Through this incision he tightens the muscles of the
temples, raising the eyebrow's tails. This adds an exotic touch to the
look and restores the eye's freshness.
B) Brow Suspension Techniques
They are indicated for the local treatment of the eyebrows.
1. Without 'anchor': A special surgical thread covered
with small plastic spikes for better attachment is placed under the skin
across the area that is going to be treated. This allows to tighten the
tissues that determine the shape and location of the eyebrows. It is advisable
to treat the area of the cheeks simultaneously with the same method to
achieve better results.
2. With 'anchor': A special surgical thread covered with
small plastic spikes for better attachment is placed under the skin across
the area that is going to be treated. In order to give the suspension
more support, one of the ends of the thread is sutured to the muscle or
fixed to the bone with a screw or another special surgical device. The
'anchor' is useful for treating the middle of the forehead where the muscles
tend to be firmer and harder to raise than in the lateral areas, where
the eyebrows finish.
Hospitalization If you undergo coronal brow lift
surgery, you will have to stay hospitalized for one day.
If you undergo endoscopic brow lift surgery, you will
have to stay hospitalized for half a day. The other procedures are done
on an outpatient basis. Anesthesia:
Local
anesthesia and complementary sedation, or general anesthesia.
Brow lift Surgery length: Between 60 and 90 minutes.
