Eyebrows have unique importance on our faces. Whether to produce eyeshadow and protect the eyes against any residue that may enter them or just as part of the facial aesthetic harmony. The fact is that the passage of time ends up punishing our skin, which ends up acquiring sagging and wrinkles. This bothers anyone who doesn’t want to have a tired expression and drooping eyebrows. With the advancement of aesthetic medicine, it is now possible to reverse this situation: eyebrow lifting!
This type of plastic surgery has a very simple objective: to lift and reposition the eyebrows. The procedure can be done through different techniques, which differ by different access routes: through the eyelids, scalp, etc.
How Is Eyebrow Lift Surgery Performed?
As with all facial surgery, the eyebrow lift is a very delicate procedure. Anesthesia can be local with sedation (the patient is asleep during the entire procedure, not feeling any pain) or only local. For the correct choice of anesthesia, it is necessary to carry out specific tests since some people have allergies to certain sedations.
Small incisions (hidden in the scalp or behind the ear) form this cosmetic surgery procedure. The healing process is smooth, with virtually imperceptible scars hidden in the hair. This aesthetic procedure has no age restriction and can be performed in an office.
When Should I Opt For An Eyebrow Lift?
The eye brow lifting (ดึงคิ้ว which is the term in Thai) procedure helps to reduce the creases on the forehead and around the patient’s eyes and improve the facial aesthetics (expression lines, vertical wrinkles, flaccid region). It is essential to evaluate with a plastic surgeon you trust to ensure the best options for you and a safe and headache-free procedure.
The patient’s health always comes first. When it comes to surgical treatment, there are several possibilities for planning, and these must be clarified in a patient-surgeon conversation. The result of the surgery will accompany the patient for the rest of his life. The patient’s right, and the surgeon must ensure that the aesthetic procedure is wholly performed in safe accommodations.
After the eyebrow lift procedure, post-op care is essential for a good result. The swelling resulting from the surgery may take time to disappear completely, and small ecchymoses (purple spots). During this wait, cosmetics and sunscreen can and should be used, always seeking to protect your skin, preserve the procedure’s results, and maintain a good appearance.
