Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)

Brow Lift Techniques

During your consultation with your surgeon, the most effective brow lift technique will be determined based on your current brow position, contour, hairline, facial structure, and expectations.

- Endoscopic Brow/Forehead Lift: A minimally invasive procedure performed through 3 to 5 small incisions hidden behind the hairline. It is carried out using special instruments, including a small camera. By lifting and reshaping the forehead, forehead lines can be softened, and if necessary, the hairline can also be elevated. Recovery time is quick, and no visible scars remain.

- Temporal Brow/Forehead Lift: This procedure requires an incision along each temple at the hairline and lifts only the outer half of the eyebrows. It is ideal for patients who want to raise their brows and narrow their forehead. Recovery time is quick, and there are no visible scars after healing.

- Direct Brow Lift: This involves removing a portion of the skin and underlying tissue directly above the eyebrow, following its natural length. It is generally preferred by patients with severe brow drooping, often due to paralysis. The incision is made as close to the brows as possible to minimize visible scarring. This option is usually chosen by patients who are less concerned about scarring.

Before a Brow Lift at Medicci

Before undergoing a brow lift at Medicci, a comprehensive consultation ensures clear communication between you and our expert team. At this important stage, our priority is to understand your goals and desires for the procedure.

Forehead Lift

A forehead lift involves precise adjustments to raise and reposition the eyebrows, carefully performed by our specialists. This process rejuvenates the forehead, resulting in a lifted and refreshed appearance.

Skillfully applied, the procedure delivers natural and harmonious results that seamlessly integrate with the individual’s facial features.

Just like with all surgical procedures, the final results of this operation become evident after six months, once the skin and all incisions have fully healed. While it is inevitable that aging and gravity will gradually affect the outcome, certain aspects of the brow lift—especially the wrinkles on the forehead and frown lines—will never return to their previous depth or sagging state. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve and prolong your results.

- To ensure a healthy recovery, it is very important to follow all of your surgeon’s instructions.

- Depending on the technology used, hospitalization may not be required. If a technique requiring hospitalization is applied, the stay is limited to 1 day, unless medically necessary.

- It may take about one week to return to your daily routine.

- Pain is rare with this procedure. If it occurs, it usually lasts only two to three days and can be managed with painkillers.

- Immediately after the procedure, you may experience discomfort due to swelling, bruising, tightness, and numbness. Bruising typically disappears within a week, but the sensations of tightness, swelling, and numbness may persist for up to a month.

- You may feel tired and sensitive in the first days following surgery.

- Keeping your head elevated during the first postoperative week will help you feel more comfortable.

- Smoking reduces circulation, delays wound healing, and significantly increases the risk of serious complications. You must stop smoking at least four weeks before and four weeks after your procedure.

- Most patients can return to work within a week.

- Exercise and most activities can usually be resumed after three weeks.
