Eyebrow Surgery

Besides sagging of the upper eyelid, the eyebrow may also sag as age catches up. As you age, the brow fat pad shrink and the underlying bone undergo absorption, thus the eyebrow loses support and droop. This causes the upper eyelid skin to hangover the eyelid margin further. Therefore, removing the excess upper eyelid skin alone is sometimes not sufficient. Brow lift is essential to fix the brow back to its original to restore the youthful appearance. Brow lift surgery is usually performed together with upper eyelid lift surgery.

Brow lift can be achieved by 2 methods:

Direct brow lift

The excess skin above the brow is removed and the brow position is immediately lifted. The scar created above the eyebrow may then be tattooed to camouflage the line. This technique is quick and easy. In some instances, patient may have some tingling or numb sensation over the forehead which lasts for weeks.

Pretrichial brow lift

In this technique, the incision is hidden in the hairline so the scar is not visible. This technique is suitable for patients who mainly require a temporal brow lift.
