Considering Brow Lift in Ireland?

During your consultation, I will address any questions or concerns you may have.

What is Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the brow and upper portion of the face. This transformative surgery addresses concerns such as sagging eyebrows, upper eyelids, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines between the eyebrows.

Different types of brow lifts are available to address various aesthetic concerns and suit individual patient needs. Here are the main techniques:

Temporal Brow Lift

Focused on the outer brow area:

Incisions made within the hairline above the temples
Lifts the outer portion of the eyebrows
Addresses a tired or sad appearance
Less extensive than full brow lifts

Direct Brow Lift

Involves:

Incision directly above the eyebrows
Removal of excess skin
Suitable for patients with significant brow sagging
More visible scarring, but can be concealed by eyebrow hair

Endoscopic Brow Lift

This minimally invasive procedure involves:

Small incisions made behind the hairline
Use of an endoscope (tiny camera) for visualization
Lifting and repositioning of forehead tissues
Shorter recovery time and minimal scarring

Each technique offers unique benefits and is chosen based on the patient’s anatomy, desired outcome, and the surgeon’s recommendation.

Frequently asked questions

What are post op care after brow lift?

Here are key post-op recommendations after a brow lift:

Keep your head elevated when resting
Apply cold compresses for 24-48 hours
Avoid strenuous activities for 7-10 days
Gently wash hair after 48 hours
Take prescribed medications as directed
Attend all follow-up appointments
Use sun protection on incision sites
Watch for signs of infection

Remember to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions for optimal healing.

What are long term considerations before brow lift?

While a brow lift can provide long-lasting results, it’s important to have realistic expectations. The aging process will continue, but patients often enjoy a rejuvenated appearance for many years.

Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial to determine if a brow lift is right for you and to ensure the best possible outcome tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals.

What are the potential risks of brow lift?

As a plastic surgeon, I can tell you the main potential risks of a brow lift include:

Scarring (usually minimal)
Temporary numbness or altered sensation
Facial asymmetry
Hair loss near incision sites
Infection
Bleeding or hematoma
Adverse anesthesia reactions
Facial nerve injury (uncommon)
Eye irritation or dryness
Need for revision surgery

While these risks exist, serious complications are rare when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Most issues, if they occur, are typically minor and temporary.

How long do the results of brow lift last?

Results typically last 5-10 years, depending on factors like age, skin type, and lifestyle habits.

Will there be visible scarring after brow lift?

Scarring is usually minimal and well-hidden within the hairline or natural skin creases. Most scars fade significantly within 6-12 months.
