Browlift

What is Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that tightens and lifts the underlying muscles of the forehead. A brow lift can be performed for a number of reasons: to correct a sagging or low position of the eyebrows, creating a tired or sad look; to reduce deep horizontal creases across the forehead; to remove frown lines or furrows between the eyebrows and top of the nose, creating a worried or angry expression.

Will hospitalisation be necessary?

Brow lift is usually performed in hospital as a short stay procedure. You will need to be in hospital for about 2 days, however this will depend on the extent of the procedure. Many people have a brow lift performed in conjunction with a face lift in which case the hospital stay may be longer.

When can normal activities be resumed?

Most people return to work and a normal social life after 14 days, or sooner. Makeup may need to be used for a short period of time after this to camouflage any residual bruising. Any swelling should be resolved within 2 weeks. It may take up to 3 months for the area to completely settle and the final result become clear.

Are there any side effects?

As with any surgery, there is the possibility of infection, bleeding, bruising and swelling however these are minimal and are generally resolved over a couple of weeks. A more detailed explanation of possible complications will be explained during your consultation.
