A brow lift is an aesthetic surgery procedure that aims to bring low or sagging eyebrows to their natural position and give the face a more vigorous, aesthetic, and symmetrical expression. Drooping of the eyebrows can occur due to aging, the effect of gravity, or genetic structure. This condition can be corrected with a brow lift, and the eye area can be brightened.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift involves aesthetic surgical or medical applications aimed at raising the position of the eyebrows. This procedure is applied to give the face a more energetic expression, reduce pressure on the eyelids, and improve the overall symmetry of the face.

Before a brow lift, the patient's eyebrow structure, facial proportions, and expectations are evaluated to decide which technique will be applied. Methods such as surgery (endoscopic or classic), thread lift, or Botox can be used.

Why is a Brow Lift Preferred?

  • Drooping Eyebrows: Downward displacement of the eyebrows can cause a tired and sad expression. A brow lift eliminates this expression.
  • Aesthetic Appearance: Raising the eyebrows balances the general contours of the face and provides a more attractive facial expression.
  • Reducing Signs of Aging: Eyebrows droop over time due to age. This sagging can be eliminated with a brow lift.
  • Reducing Eyelid Pressure: Low eyebrows can create pressure on the upper eyelid. A brow lift alleviates this pressure.
  • Younger Appearance: Lifting the eyebrows makes the face more dynamic and bright.

How Does the Brow Lift Process Work?

  • Consultation and Evaluation: The patient's facial features, eyebrow structure, age, and skin elasticity are evaluated. The appropriate technique is determined.
  • Anesthesia: Surgical brow lift can be performed under general or local anesthesia. Other techniques require less anesthesia.
  • Application: The operation is planned according to the chosen method. In surgical methods, incision sites are usually made to remain within the hairline.
  • Recovery: Swelling and bruising usually disappear within 1-2 weeks. The results become clear within 3-6 months.

What are the Brow Lift Methods?

  • Endoscopic Brow Lift: A permanent and effective surgical technique performed with minimal incisions.
  • Thread Lift Method: A non-surgical option with temporary effects. It can be repeated if necessary.
  • Brow Lift with Botox: By changing muscle balance, the eyebrows can be partially lifted.

How long does the brow lift procedure take?

Depending on the chosen method, surgical procedures can take 1-2 hours. Botox or thread lift applications are completed in 15-30 minutes.

Is a brow lift permanent?

Applications made with surgical methods provide long-term permanence. The effect of other techniques can last for an average of 6-18 months.

Am I a suitable candidate for a brow lift?

Anyone with a low or sagging eyebrow structure, good general health, and realistic expectations can be a candidate for this procedure.

What are the Advantages of a Brow Lift?

  • Younger and More Vigorous Appearance: Lifting the eyebrows makes the face look more energetic and bright.
  • Aesthetic Expression: The droopy, tired facial expression disappears, and a more balanced look is achieved.
  • Visual Comfort: Pressure on the upper eyelid is reduced, and the field of vision expands.
  • Natural and Permanent Results: Long-term satisfaction is achieved when planned correctly with surgical technique.

Will I feel pain during the surgery?

Since the surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia, you will not feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, there may be mild tenderness, but this can be controlled with painkillers.

Do I need to stay in the hospital after surgery?

Brow lift surgery is generally an outpatient procedure. Patients are usually discharged on the same day.

Will drains be used?

Depending on the extent of the surgery, drains may rarely be used. If used, they are removed within 1-2 days.

How soon can I get up?
Most patients can walk on the same day after surgery. Light daily activities can be resumed within 1-2 days, but excessive facial expressions and heavy exercise should be avoided for the first week.

When can I return to work after a brow lift?
Individuals working desk jobs can usually return to work within 3-5 days. For jobs requiring physical activity, this period can be up to 1 week.

What should I pay attention to in the first few days after surgery?
Swelling and bruising in the facial area are normal. Pressure should not be applied to the eyebrow area, sleeping face down should be avoided, and medications prescribed by the doctor should be taken regularly.

Do I need to use a special bandage or protector?
Yes, special bandages or tapes are usually applied for the first few days to protect the area. This helps reduce swelling and bruising.

Can I take a shower after surgery? When?
A shower can usually be taken 2-3 days later. However, it is important that the eyebrow area is not directly exposed to water and that dressings are kept dry.

When will the new shape of the eyebrows settle?
There may be mild swelling in the initial weeks. The natural appearance of the eyebrows usually becomes clear within 3-6 weeks.

Will the stitches be removed, or will they dissolve on their own?
It depends on the type of suture used. If absorbable sutures are used, they do not need to be removed. Other sutures are usually removed after 5-7 days.

Is the effect of the brow lift procedure permanent?
Procedures performed with surgical methods offer long-term and permanent results. However, slight sagging may occur again over the years due to aging and the effect of gravity.

Will there be deterioration in appearance over time?
The effect lasts for many years. However, signs of natural aging may appear over time depending on age and lifestyle.

Does weight gain/loss affect the result?
Weight change can affect skin elasticity, but the direct effect after a brow lift is limited.

May the procedure need to be repeated over time?
The effect of a brow lift lasts for years. However, reapplication can be done if needed.

Will the eyebrows look too lifted or artificial after the procedure?
The surgeon's technique and planning success are decisive in this regard. A natural appearance is aimed for. Although the eyebrows may appear high in the initial weeks, they will settle into place over time.

How can I reduce the risk of infection?
Adhering to hygiene rules, regularly using prescribed antibiotics, and avoiding touching the surgical area with hands reduce the risk of infection.

If the eyebrows droop again in the future, can the procedure be repeated?
Yes, even if the procedure has been done before, a brow lift can be applied again.

Will there be scars on the skin? How long does it take to heal?
Since surgical incisions are planned within the hairline, scars are generally invisible. The healing period can take 6-12 months depending on the individual.

What should I do if an unexpected situation occurs?
In case of sudden swelling, pain, fever, etc., you should contact your doctor immediately. Early intervention prevents complications.

How is the Recovery Process After Brow Lift?
Although the recovery process after a brow lift procedure varies from person to person, it is generally a mild and manageable process. Swelling and bruising decrease over time. Here are some things to pay attention to:

  • Pay attention to rest: Rest as much as possible in the first few days to support the body's healing process.
  • Keep your head elevated: Elevating your head while lying down reduces swelling.
  • Drink plenty of water and eat healthily: Helps the body recover.
  • Do not smoke or consume alcohol: It can impair circulation and slow down healing.
  • Protect from the sun: Not exposing the surgical area to direct sunlight prevents scars from becoming prominent.

Where are the incisions made?
In brow lift surgery, incisions are generally planned to remain within the hairline. This way, scars become invisible.

Is a natural look achieved?
A natural result compatible with facial expression is achieved with appropriate technique and planning.

Will re-operation be necessary in the future?
The effects are permanent, but reapplication may be necessary over time due to the aging process.
