You may have this treatment on its own or with other facial procedures like blepharoplasty, facelift, or laser resurfacing of the skin.
Different Types
There are three different types of procedures, namely the classic or coronal brow lift, endoscopic brow lift, and temporal brow lift.
On your first appointment, the surgeon will ask you several questions and assess the structure of your face, skin texture, color, and elasticity thoroughly. It will help both of you communicate what option, among the three, is the best one for you.
1. Classical or Coronal Brow Lift
Like any other surgery, this traditional type uses anesthesia for patients as well. Aside from that, it also consists of an incision process. The incision begins just above the ear level and extends up the forehead to the other ear. The surgeon may also opt to carefully lift the skin of the forehead when necessary. Following the removal of excess skin, the surgeon then closes the incision and applies dressings and bandages.
2. Endoscopic Brow Lift
Endoscopic brow lift also makes use of anesthesia for patients despite it being a minimally invasive procedure. The surgeon controls specialized equipment to delicately release and raise the brow tissue after creating a set of small incisions tucked under the hair.
Overall, this procedure has a shorter recovery period and fewer cuts and bruises than the traditional approach.
3. Temporal Brow Lift
Another minimally invasive type of procedure is the temporal brow lift, which should be done under local anesthesia. The scaled-back endoscopic lift can achieve promising results while requiring little downtime.
