Due to age and the effects of gravity, the muscles in the forehead begin to weaken over time. As a result, eyebrows start to droop downward, typically from the age of 35-40 onwards. This can lead to a constant appearance of fatigue in individuals. For these reasons, eyebrow lift surgeries are quite commonly sought after.
What is a Classic Eyebrow Lift?
Also known as temple lift surgery, classic eyebrow lift surgery is the simplest form of brow lift, involving the removal of the initial 2 cm crown-shaped section of the scalp and tightening of this area. The most significant disadvantage of classic eyebrow lift surgery is the eventual widening of the stitches applied within the scalp, leading to the creation of increasingly wider, hairless areas in this region. Additionally, over time, the scalp may lose its elasticity, which can contribute to the relatively short-term effectiveness of classic eyebrow lift surgery.
What is Endoscopic Brow Lift?
Today, there are various methods for lifting the eyebrows. However, the most preferred among these is the procedure performed without the need for incisions, known as endoscopic brow lift. This procedure is conducted using small and thin cameras called endoscopes and leaves no visible scars. It can be easily performed under general anesthesia in operating room conditions. With the endoscopic brow lift method, the operation can be carried out by making several small incisions in the scalp, allowing the procedure to be completed without any bleeding. As a result, the postoperative scars that were common with traditional methods do not occur. Additionally, the recovery period is quite short.
How Long Does Eyebrow Lift Surgery Take?
The operation known as eyebrow lifting or eyebrow lift surgery can be performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery is approximately 2 hours; however, the recovery process after the surgery is quite fast. Therefore, 1-2 days of rest after the operation is sufficient. Thus, after eyebrow lift surgery, individuals can quickly return to their daily lives without undergoing long recovery periods.
What is Eyebrow Ptosis?
As age progresses, eyebrows begin to droop, especially in the outer parts known as the tail. This drooping results in skin folds and sagging in the area between the eyebrow and the eye, as well as on the upper eyelid. Over time, if bagginess accompanies this condition, it can make a person look older and tired. Although aesthetic perspectives may vary from person to person, the generally accepted ideal eyebrow position for men is at the level of the upper bone of the eye, while for women, it is slightly above this.
