Eyebrow lift

Drooping eyebrows can make a face look quite gloomy. If only the outer part of the brow is sagging, an eyebrow lift can make a difference to your appearance.

You can make an appointment for a consultation with the plastic surgeon. This first consultation is free of charge.

The specialist will be able to tell you if such a procedure can be performed on you. And whether the result you want is achievable. During this consultation, the surgeon may show you pre-op and post-op photos.

Eyebrow lift procedure

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, taking approximately one hour. The surgeon removes a strip of skin in the hairline above the temple. A strip of skin is also removed just above the eyebrow on the outer edge of the brow. The tissue is pulled tighter and then stitched up. The scars will be in the hairline (of your temple and brow) and will not therefore be visible. The wounds are then covered with sticking plaster.

Post procedure

You will be free to go home shortly after the procedure. The results will generally be plain to see in six or so weeks. You will go back to see the plastic surgeon a week after the procedure for a check-up and to have the sticking plaster and stitches removed. Follow-up check-ups will be made in consultation with the specialist.
