Brow Lift
As the saying goes, "eyebrows and eyes convey feelings," which shows the importance of eyebrows on one's face. With age, eyebrows gradually droop into an inverted "V" shape, or unsatisfactory eyebrow shapes caused by eyebrow tattooing, such as blue eyebrows, bad eyebrows, caterpillar eyebrows, etc., make facial features disharmonious and less lively. Previously, laser or treatment devices were used to remove eyebrows, but they may not thoroughly improve the situation and might leave hypertrophic scars. Surgical treatment to improve the shape of eyebrows can achieve unexpected cosmetic effects. A brow lift is a surgical method to improve the shape of the eyebrows, remove failed eyebrow tattoos and scars left after eyebrow removal, using subcutaneous suturing to leave no traces.
Overview of Brow Lift:
By removing skin above or below the eyebrows (which may include part of the eyebrows), the eyebrows or upper eyelid skin can be lifted, adjusting the position or shape of the eyebrows. This can correct mild double eyelids, triangular eyes, improve upper eyelid skin laxity, and remove upper eyelid wrinkles and some crow's feet.
A brow lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes part or all of the eyebrows and surrounding skin. Its advantages are simplicity, safety, fast recovery, minimal pain, and the ability to thoroughly remove unsatisfactory eyebrows while lifting the upper eyelid skin, improving fine lines around the eyes, reshaping the eyebrows, enriching the expression in the eyes, making you look younger.
Although the brow lift is a routine procedure in cosmetic surgery with relatively simple techniques, to achieve successful and perfect results, the surgeon must have a high level of aesthetic sense and superior suturing skills. They will comprehensively analyze the patient's own eyebrows, face shape, degree of upper eyelid laxity, and amount of crow's feet to adopt different methods accordingly.
Who needs a brow lift:
1. Prominent crow's feet
2. Lower eyelid skin laxity
3. Drooping eyebrows or unsatisfactory eyebrow shape
4. Recent forehead lift with poor results
Brow Lift Methods:
Based on the aesthetics of eyebrows and the patient's contour, temperament, and requirements, the eyebrows are designed, and a new eyebrow shape is drawn. Then, the undesirable part of the eyebrows is partially or entirely removed. Finally, non-traumatic sutures are used to close the wound or only adhesive strips are applied. This results in a new ideal eyebrow shape. This method can also simultaneously lift drooping corners of the eyes, leaving no trace, and has become another choice for more and more beauty enthusiasts to improve their appearance.
