Brow Lift Surgery in India – Overview

Procedure

There are many techniques in browplasty. A coronal brow lift involves making an incision from one ear to the other behind the hairline. The surgeon removes a strip of skin and pulls back the skin and muscles to stretch the forehead. The incision is then sutured behind the hairline. In pretrichialbrowplasty, the surgeon incises right in front of the hairline. The incision line depends on the hairline and forehead shapes. The surgeon removes the excess skin and tissue, pulls up the skin and makes the suture in front of the hairline. Midbrow lift makes the incision in the middle of the forehead, usually on a deep brow line. This method uses the brow line to camouflage the incision instead of the hairline. Rest of the procedure is the same.A direct brow lift involves making the cuts in the eyebrow region itself. Suturing the ends of the cuts raises the eyebrows and smoothens the wrinkles.

Nowadays, endoscopic browlift has become popular. The reasons are its less invasive nature, less scar formation, greater control over changes and faster recovery. The surgeon makes small incisions behind the hairline. He inserts an endoscope through the incisions to view the muscles and tissues inside. He realigns muscles and removes excess fat and tissue to create the lift. Then, he stitches up the incisions.The above methods produce a forehead expansion. For forehead reduction, the surgeon incises in front of the hairline and removes a strip of skin. He pulls the skin down and sutures up the incision. Hair grows at this part to hide the scar behind the new hairline.
