BE Brow Lift - The Procedure
With age the brows drop below the eye line and wrinkles appear on the forehead, those make us look angry, sad and tired all times. Brow lift is most popular among ages 40-60 and you can combine it with a facelift or eyelid surgery.
Using the classic technique, the surgeon cuts ear to ear through the scalp behind the hairline. This allows him to get access to the forehead, release the muscles, removes extra skin and lift the eyebrows to higher position. This method is modified for people with high forehead and retreat in the hairline. Then the cut is made in front of the hairline so that brow lift doesn't cause additional retreat.
In the endoscopic approach 3-5 small incisions made on the scalp from ear to ear behind the hairline. Then using special tool extra skin and tissue being removed from the forehead and sometimes attached to the scalp from the inside. With time the wrinkles disappear. Sometimes the surgeon inserts special hook through the endoscop which attaches the tissue to the desired location. The hooks melt with time and the forehead reshapes. In another technique smaller cut is made through the temple areas, the extra skin is removed as described. This approach used when the outer portion of the brows needs to be lift. The operation can be done using local anesthetics with deep sedation.

Every operation has its complications. This one includes damage to the forehead nerves that will result in inability to move the forehead or brows.
