Brow Lifting

Eyebrow lift, which is a type of facial surgery, is considered, is performed in three ways, including classic lift, endoscopic lift, and limited incision. Each of these methods is chosen based on individual needs and conditions. In a classic lift, usually larger incisions are made to create significant changes in the eyebrow and forehead area; whereas in an endoscopic lift, smaller incisions and less invasive techniques are used to achieve natural results.

This procedure, which has an application similar to the procedure of blepharoplasty, is usually performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, and its results are permanent and long-lasting.

• This method creates a better balance between the eyebrows, eyes, and other facial features.
• An eyebrow lift reduces wrinkles in the eyebrow and forehead area and smooths the skin.

Ultimately, a brow lift is usually performed in one to two hours, allowing you to return to daily activities more quickly.

Complications of an eyebrow lift usually occur when the choice of the best cosmetic surgeon in Tehran has not been made correctly. Generally, the complications of this procedure are as follows:

• Scars from the operation may remain on the forehead skin. However, nowadays most eyebrow lift surgeries are performed endoscopically, which results in fewer incisions and the scars remaining hidden under the hair.
• One of the complications that may arise with any surgery is the loss of sensation in the incision area; fortunately, with the advancement of technology, this complication is less observed in eyebrow lift surgery.
• Asymmetry in the location and position of the eyebrows after the operation is also one of the potential problems of this procedure, which can be prevented by choosing a skilled surgeon.
• Since the lift incisions are made among the hair, hair may not grow at the site of the stitches and incisions. For this reason, the surgeon tries to make the incisions as small and shallow as possible.

However, choosing a specialist surgeon to perform this procedure significantly reduces these complications.
