This refers to the surgical procedure of lifting the eyebrows to give a more
youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
People who have drooping eyebrows giving them a 'tired' or 'sad' look.
Sometimes it is performed in people with damage to the nerves of the face which
causes an asymmetrical droop of the eyebrows.
There are two techniques (open and endoscopic)
In the open technique, an incision is made behind the hairline running from ear to ear.
The skin is lifted up and muscles freed to lift the brows. The wound is closed with stitches
In the endoscopic technique, small short incisions are made behind the hair line and via
the help of an endoscope (an instrument with a small camera) the tissues are freed. The wound is closed with stitches.
You can wash your hair after five days
It is usually performed under a general anaesthesia.

A week to two weeks will suffice for most patients
A brow lift can reduce the forehead lines and make you appear more positive and alert
Most patients are pleased with the rejuvenated look. However general risks as with
any surgical procedure such as minor breakdown or superficial infection can occur
All these and any concerns will be further discussed at the consultation
