Brow Lift Candidates
Some people have naturally heavy brow areas and others develop drooping brows and forehead creases due to gravity and the loss of skin elasticity and facial volume during the aging process. A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, may be appropriate for adults of any age, but is most common for those who are from 40 to 65. Dr. Schlaudraff might recommend Botulinum Toxin injections instead of surgery for patients who are primarily concerned with forehead creases instead of sagging. Botulinum Toxin also may be used to accentuate brow lift results and keep the skin looking smooth and youthful.
Your Consultation
During your consultation at the Concept Clinic, Dr. Schlaudraff will ask you to describe what you'd like to improve about your face. Some patients with sagging upper eyelids believe they need an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) when they actually require a brow lift. Often a combination of the 2 procedures is necessary to rejuvenate the entire eye area (upper and lower eyelids along with sagging eyebrows). A brow lift can also complement a injectable filler treatment such as fat grafting or a face lift by addressing the upper face.
At the Concept Clinic in Geneva, Switzerland, a brow lift can be performed endoscopically using a tiny lighted camera and surgical instruments that are inserted through 3 to 5 small incisions within the hairline. This technique provides results that are similar to the traditional coronal brow lift with reduced discomfort and recovery time.
Surgical Procedure
Dr. Schlaudraff performs brow lift surgery in a state-of-the-art surgery center usually while the patient is under general anesthesia. Brow lifts are often performed as an outpatient procedure, so patients can return home the day of their procedure but it also may be organised during a short hospitalisation. Dr. Schlaudraff performs the endoscopic brow lift through several tiny incisions that are concealed within the hairline; he can adjust the location of the incisions for patients who are bald or have a receding hairline.
Recovery & Results
Most patients can resume their normal routine 7 to 10 days after surgery, but need to refrain from strenuous exercise and activities that raise their blood pressure for at least 4 weeks. Once the initial swelling and bruising diminishes, patients enjoy looking renewed, refreshed, and years younger.
