Brow Lift

Brow Lift FAQ’s

Brow Lift Approaches

Traditional Forehead Lift

A traditional forehead lift makes a longer incision either along the hairline, a few millimetres along the hairline, or behind the hairline. Depending on the approach, this operation can also shorten the size of the forehead. This method of brow elevation gives the surgeon more control over the brow area and can provide more dramatic results.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

An endoscopic forehead lift will adopt the use of a video camera and micro-instruments. This minimally invasive approach requires three or more small incisions concealed within the hairline. The endoscope helps guide the surgeon, allowing them to release the muscles that produce frown lines, simultaneously repositioning the eyebrows at a higher level.

The procedure can include some removal of underlying muscle and tissue. This  approach gives a more youthful appearance to the upper part of the face. It can also allow for shorter scars and less recovery time. The surgeon will wrap your head in bandages following the surgery, and you may have tubes to drain the fluid. Your stitches will be removed after 1-2 weeks.

Botox Brow Lift

A non-surgical approach such as Botox can give subtle brow lifting results for patients who aren’t quite ready for surgery. Botox weakens specific parts of the brow to shape and elevate or lower them according to the patient’s desires. This technique can create a more youthful-looking eye area and can redefine the arch of the brow.

Due to the sensitive muscle function in this area, A Botox Brow Lift requires a highly-skilled injector who understands the underlying facial anatomy and muscle movement. They should be able to determine a suitable Botox dosage and identify the points where some muscles can be relaxed, while others can be recruited. The results can last around three to four months.

Soft Thread Lift

At 111 Harley St., our patients have the advantage of having this non-surgical procedure with either a highly-trained, experienced and qualified nurse or surgeon. Both have a deep understanding of the facial anatomy, with our surgeon having a vast amount of experience in facial reconstructive surgery.

The procedure requires a local anaesthetic, minimising risk and downtime, and we can perform it within our safe and sterile in-clinic surgery facilities in the UK. Using dissolvable PDO threads, the surgeon or nurse can lift and reshape the eye and brow area.

The downside to this approach is that the results will not be as dramatic or as long-lasting as surgery.
