Temporal Lift-Brow Repositioning

Addressing Droopy Brows and Rejuvenating the Upper Face

The passage of time and genetics can impact our facial appearance. One common concern is eyebrow drooping, which can:

  • Create a tired, sad, or even angry expression despite your emotional state.
  • Impede vision by partially covering the upper eyelids.

Brow lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that aims to correct drooping brows and rejuvenate the upper face.

What to Consider:

  • Non-surgical options: Before considering surgery, explore minimally invasive alternatives like Botulinum toxin applications.This injectable treatment relaxes muscles that contribute to brow drooping, offering temporary improvement with minimal downtime.
  • Eligibility: Consulting Dr Varsak is crucial to determine candidacy and discuss suitability based on your individual case, including factors like skin quality, overall health, and aesthetic goals.
  • Realistic Expectations: Remember, brow lift surgery aims to improve, not erase, signs of aging. Discuss realistic expectations with your doctor to ensure alignment with your desired outcome.

Dr. You can ask the following questions during your consultation with Varsak:

  • Is brow lift surgery suitable for me?
  • What are alternative treatment options?
  • What does the process involve?
  • What is the recovery process like?
  • What are the risks and side effects?

Dr. Varsak will answer all your questions and ensure you have the right information for this important decision.

Surgical Techniques

Brow lift procedures can be performed using different techniques. Dr. Varsak will determine the most suitable technique for you, based on your needs, facial structure and aesthetic goals.

Here are some commonly used eyebrow lifting techniques:

Direct Browlift: An incision is made just above the eyebrows, allowing for direct access and precise adjustment of the brow position.

Endoscopic Brow Repositioning: This procedure is usulally combined with temporal lift. Smaller incisions are made within the hairline, minimizing visible scarring. A specialized camera and instruments are used to elevate the brow tissue.

Temporal Lift: This technique focuses on the temporal region (sides of the forehead). An incision is made behind the hairline, and the scalp tissue is lifted to indirectly elevate the brows.

Procedure and Recovery:

Temporal lift /Brow repositioning surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.

The specific technique and recovery process can vary, but generally:

  • Surgery Duration: 1-1.5 hours.
  • Hospital stay: May or may not be required, depending on the complexity of the procedure and accompanying procedures.
  • Recovery: Expect swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort. Most patients return to social life within 3-5 days, and stitches are removed within a week.
  • Scarring: Scars are typically well-hidden within the hairline or brow line.

IMPORTANT POİNTS!

  • Permanent change: Brow lift surgery is a permanent procedure with potential risks and complications. It's crucial to understand these risks and discuss them thoroughly with Dr Varsak.
  • Individualized Approach: Each patient's needs and preferences vary. Dr Varsak will assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate approach based on your specific concerns and desired outcome.
