Brow Lift

Some people may look tired or severe even when they say they feel great. This appearance is often caused by eyebrows that tend to droop, pulling the upper eyelids down with them.

This issue is due to the loosening of tissue caused by aging. A brow lift can correct this problem. Similarly, the use of barbed threads (such as Aptos©) can provide another form of solution.

How is the procedure performed?

One technique involves making small incisions above the eyebrows, in a skin fold: by removing the excess skin, the eyebrows are lifted. A small incision can also be made in the scalp and a small opening at the eyebrow level.

How long does the procedure take?

The operation takes about an hour, is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient can return home the same day.

What are the consequences?

Slight swelling and bruising may appear in the first few days, usually disappearing after a week. Once the sutures are removed, the scars may be slightly red, but this redness will fade in the following weeks so that the scars will be almost invisible after some time.

How long does the result of such a lift last?

Several years, generally.

What about suspension threads?

They are an interesting alternative to surgery (see the chapter on “barbed threads”).
