Drooping eyebrows? Never again! It's time to get rid of that tired, saddened look nobody wants.
Read our article and find out how a brow lift can bring back your natural beauty and enhance it even further.
How does a brow lift correct drooping eyebrows?
Surgery for drooping eyebrows is indicated to address the concerns of patients who have expression lines on the forehead; creases around the eyes; drooping brows; and eyelid laxity.
Based on the surgeon's assessment, the ideal technique will be recommended for each person, according to their face and needs, ranging from a conservative lift with a more natural shape to a bolder design, such as the gull-wing shape, or even fox eyes.
The fox eyes technique, also known as the fox-eye lift, is used when patients want the tail of the eyebrow to sit slightly higher. Initially, this method was conceived with PDO threads and lasted only a few months, but what few people know is that fox eyes can now be achieved surgically. In fact, in its surgical form, the procedure is much longer-lasting. Even so, this is not a method to be adopted in every case, and a consultation is needed so the surgeon can assess whether it is the technique best suited to the shape of your face. Younger women generally prefer fox eyes for a more defined, alluring look.
What is the best age to have a brow lift?
A brow lift is indicated for patients of all ages, between 18 and 93, as in cases already recorded at Dr. Rogério Leal's clinic. It should be stressed, of course, that this procedure must always take place under medical guidance.
Younger patients usually seek surgery like this for aesthetic reasons, whether because they want a more harmonious face or because they hope for a real change in the expression of their eyes.
Patients between 45 and 50, on the other hand, seek out a specialist like Dr. Rogério Leal to correct the excess skin and fat bags resulting from natural aging and thus improve their appearance and rejuvenate the face.
To achieve a more rejuvenated face, the surgeon may recommend other surgeries combined with the brow lift, such as blepharoplasty, which is eyelid plastic surgery and aims to remove excess eyelid skin and fat bags and even reduce the wrinkles near the eye area.
Another surgery often combined with it is the facelift, also called rhytidoplasty. Unlike the two techniques mentioned above, which act on the eye area, the facelift lifts the entire face, with the aim of elevating the malar region, or cheeks, the double chin and the neck.
What care should be taken after surgery?
Some measures are essential to ensure a good recovery after brow lift surgery: cold compresses, for example, “work wonders” to reduce postoperative swelling, especially in the first 72 hours.
Although this surgery rarely causes any discomfort, common pain relievers such as dipyrone or acetaminophen (paracetamol) are prescribed by the doctor. In addition, for one week it is important to sleep face up with the head of the bed slightly raised, using two pillows. Another important point is to wear sunglasses and avoid sun exposure for at least 30 days, to protect the skin and ensure better healing.
