Eyebrow Lifting

The eye and eyebrow section of the face carries the most characteristic features of a person’s appearance. Eyebrows give depth and meaning to the eyes. The eyebrow structure that drop in time can make your appearances tired, sad and angry. Aging process, changes in weight, exposed sunlight, causes the lines in the middle of the eyebrows to become visible and drop on the eyebrows. Eyebrow lifting process may be used to operate on the wrinkles between the eyebrows, lines on the forehead and eyebrow dropping, ensuring a younger and a meaningful look.

Eyebrow Lifting Surgery

With small incisions made right under the hair, the subdermal skin is entered. After ensuring the slight relaxation of the tissue, special surgical methods and materials are used to enter the tissue below the eyebrow and the desired amount of tissue is suspended upwards. It is normal to have 4-5 days of swelling on the forehead after surgery. This will return to its normal state in the following days. Since very small incisions are made while entering under the skin, there are no visible scars after the operation. The patient is discharged from the hospital in the same day and returns to his daily life. The first three weeks will cause pressure on the forehead and massage and rubbing should be avoided. Stiff brow movements should be avoided.

Eyebrow Lifting Methods

Eyebrow lifting operations are performed using different methods.

• Lifting eyebrows with threads (Spider Web operation)
• Surgical method
• Focused Ultrasound Hifu method
• Fractional Radio frequency gold needle

The method to be used in the treatment of eyebrow drops is decided by the doctor’s checks according to the nature of the drops in the eyebrow based on structure of the skin.

Threaded Eyebrow Hanging Technique

Threaded eyebrow hanging technique is not a surgical operation. It is carried out with specifically produced threads with notches. After the necessary examinations, local anesthesia is applied to the upper part of the eyebrow. The thread is taken under the skin where the eyebrows and the skin meet, and are removed from the determined part of the eyebrow. The thread is stretched to allow the eyebrow to reach to the desired location, then the sections of the thread are cut off. This completes the process. The notches on the thread prevent the downward movement of the eyebrow.

After the application, redness in the forehead area will disappear completely after 1-2 days. Following that, the patient should be careful not to avoid stiff eyebrow movements as well as heavy makeup and not to rub the forehead for 3 weeks; patient can take a shower in 3 days after the surgery. No marks remain after the operation since no sutures are used.

Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Eyebrow Lifting

Focal Ultrasound (HIFU): The electromagnetic sound waves to be applied to the eyebrow areas heat the skin tissue. Radio waves reveal the refreshing reflex of the tissues. The tissue in the eyebrow begins to repair itself. The elasticity of the skin and the renewal at the cellular level are accelerated, so that eyebrow sagging is removed. Several sessions can be made based on the dropping level of the eyebrow. The sessions last approximately 10-20 minutes. No surgical procedure is performed in the ultrasound eyebrow lift method. It is a practical and very fast solution. After the procedure, the person can go back to her daily affairs immediately.
