Eyebrow Lift
It is aimed to improve the deformations that cause the eyebrows to appear low and to achieve a youthful appearance.
Eyebrows are structures that are very important for the proportional and esthetic appearance of the face. Although the structure of the eyebrows depends on genetic factors, cosmetic and surgical procedures and methods are performed to ensure that the eyebrows have the most appropriate structure for the golden ratio of the face. One of the biggest complaints patients have about their eyebrow structure is the appearance of drooping eyebrows. Drooping eyebrows can be genetic and caused by advancing age, like drooping eyelids.
An eyebrow lift can be performed using surgical or non-surgical techniques, which offers a solution for patients with low eyebrows. Eyebrow lifting with thread suspension, which is one of the non-surgical techniques, is not recommended by experts due to possibilities such as reaction to foreign matter, short permanence, and asymmetry. The surgical methods are as follows: eyebrow lift, Fogli technique, and endoscopic eyebrow lift.
The eyebrow lift technique to be used is determined by the patient’s needs. Dr. Ahmet Dilber's expert opinion and the patient's expectations play a role in choosing the surgical technique. Eyebrow lift surgery lasts approximately 1 hour. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient can be discharged the same day after post-operative examinations.
● Brow lift through the eyelid
In this method, which can be performed during eyelid surgery, the eyebrow is lifted through the incision in the eyelid. The healing process proceeds together with the eyelid, and our patient has a permanent result for many years.
● Fogli technique
It is the most preferred method by doctors and patients today. In the Fogli technique, the incision is made on the scalp, and the eyebrows are fixed in the desired position by the force of the tissue. Unlike thread suspension, the lift, which is not performed with a foreign substance, is permanent for many years. Other wrinkles and deformations in the corners of the eyes can also be treated in the brow lift operation with the Fogli technique.
● Endoscopic eyebrow lift
In endoscopic brow lift, which is especially recommended for our patients who need forehead lift surgery, the tissues are accessed with the help of small incisions opened in the scalp. Then the endoscope is entered, vessels and nerves are observed using imaging, and brow tissue and eyebrows are released. Suitable candidates for the procedure must be non-smokers.
Day 1: When post-operative examinations are completed after the eyebrow lift surgery, the patient can go home. The patient can apply cold compresses to the area as recommended by Dr. Ahmet Dilber and should sleep in the supine position. For the first few days, eyebrow movements may be restricted, and facial expressions that stress the area should be avoided.
Day 5: The patient, whose follow-up examinations are performed by Dr. Ahmet Dilber, can be discharged at the end of the fifth day. Since the sutures used in the surgery are absorbable, they do not need to be removed. (The sutures dissolve in 5-21 days.) It is recommended that contact with water be avoided for the first five days. Heavy activities and sports should be avoided for 7-14 days, and the area should be protected from impact.
Days 10-14: The average recovery time for eyebrow lift surgery is 10 days. During this time, swelling and edema go down.
Month 1: It is very important for the healing process that the recommended creams are used regularly after the patient's return home. Monthly follow-ups with patients continue either face-to-face or through images sent through WhatsApp.
