Brow Lift
A Brow Lift, also known as a Coronal Lift,
involves raising and tightening the skin over and around the eyebrows.
With the effects of time and gravity the skin on the forehead becomes
looser and prone to lines, and eyebrows can droop causing the upper
lids to bulge or giving a hooded appearance. A Brow Lift smoothes
the skin of the forehead and raises the eyebrows to create larger,
more animated, youthful eyes. Our eyes are the focal point of our
faces and this surgery can give the eyes a brighter, fresher look
A standard Brow Lift can be performed in two ways. Both will require
a general anaesthetic and an overnight stay at the Hospital. The first
method, a coronal lift, not only lifts the brow but also erases horizontal
wrinkles from the forehead and the top of the nose. The incision for
this method runs along the top of the forehead, usually behind the
hairline so the scars will not show.
The second method involves two small incisions made on the hairline
above the brows. This is called an Endoscopic Brow Lift because an
endoscope (a very tiny camera) is used to guide the surgeon whilst
performing the procedure. The main advantage to this method is the
significant reduction in scarring, but the results may not be as dramatic
as with a Coronal Lift.
