What is a Brow Lift?

Sometimes known as a forehead lift or forehead rejuvenation, a brow lift is a type of cosmetic procedure to raise the brows and make the face appear younger and wrinkle free. Lines across the forehead are one of the biggest signs of ageing with frown lines getting more noticeable as we grow older and the skin becomes less elastic. One of the best ways to reduce wrinkles is through cosmetic surgery, with facelift procedures becoming increasingly popular in the UK.

As we age, the eyebrows can sag down over time resulting from the skin losing elasticity. Having brows that are at a lower position can cause a person to look angry, sad or tired. Once the brows have lowered, the best way to remedy the effects is by getting a brow lift, which will return the brows to their natural position and smooth the skin of the forehead.

With a brow lift, the client is given anaesthetic before an incision is made along the top of the head. The skin is then tightened before the incision is closed, resulting in a smoother and more youthful looking face that’s free from excessive wrinkles and lines.

Types of Brow Lift

There are four main types of brow lift. All achieve similar results and the method that’s chosen will depend on the patient type and their expectations for the procedure.

• Endoscopic brow lift – Here, several incisions are made within the hairline, and a small camera attached to a thin tube is used to move the muscles under the forehead and correct any lines and wrinkles.
• Coronal brow lift – A Coronal lift uses an incision along the top of the head from ear to ear. The forehead skin can then be lifted, and any scar is hidden within the hair.
• Hairline brow lift – For people with a high hairline, a hairline brow lift affects the skin of the forehead without pulling the hairline back. An incision is made between the top of the head and the hairline to perform this lift.
• Thread brow lift – a permanent thread containing anchors is inserted under the forehead to pull the forehead and brows upwards. The thread is anchored into the scalp. This is a non-surgical procedure with little downtime.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

Brow lifts primarily reduce the effects of ageing, helping to keep your face looking young and healthy. The procedure also offers lots of other great benefits too, such as:

• 1. Reversing a tired or angry appearance – As we age and our skin becomes less elastic, our brows can sag, becoming closer to our eyes. When this happens, the face can look perpetually sad or angry, regardless of their true emotions. With a brow lift, the brows won’t sag, and the effect will be reversed.
• 2. Raising the upper eyelids – Sagging brows can also affect the upper eyelids, making the person look tired and making it difficult to apply makeup. Raising the brows can lift the upper eyelid area and help to open the eyes. This can make the client look more alert and healthier.
• 3. Long lasting effects – While there are less invasive alternatives to brow lifts such as botox and dermal fillers, these are temporary solutions. Dermal filler treatments need to be repeated over time to keep up the effects. A brow lift, meanwhile, will provide long lasting results, letting you look great for longer.
• 4. Personalised treatment – Brow lift procedures are tailored to the specific client based on their needs and expectations. When you visit Luxe Glasgow for your consultation, you’ll be able to speak to the doctor and request the kind of treatment you want. Your brow lift treatment will be designed around how you want to look.
• 5. Smooth creases and lines – While other beauty treatments can treat wrinkles, creases and lines, there are no treatments more effective than the brow lift. Horizontal lines across the brow as well as vertical lines between the eyebrow are smoothed and disappear as the skin is pulled tighter.

Are Brow Lifts Safe?

Brow lifts are a popular form of cosmetic surgery, but they do carry some risks. As with any surgery involving the use of general anaesthetic, brow lifts carry a slight risk of infection and adverse reactions to anaesthetic. However, provided you get the treatment at a licenced and trusted clinic, there is very little to worry about.

Some of the side effects that may occur from a brow lift procedure include:

• Scarring – The incisions used to complete the brow lift procedure can, in rare cases, leave scarring. In most cases, the incisions are made within the hairline to prevent them from being noticeable. Incisions are usually as small as possible to help prevent any visible scars from forming after the procedure.
• Numbness around the scalp and top of the forehead – A facelift or brow lift may cause temporary numbness around the affected area. It can sometimes take a while for the feeling to return to the scalp or top of the forehead after the operation.
• Asymmetry – In rare cases, the brow lift may result in an asymmetrical brow. This usually evens out after healing, but if it persists, it can also be fixed through additional surgery.
