Overview of Eyebrow Lifting, Miami

Eyebrow lifting threading involves inserting dissolvable threads along the forehead using small needles to lift the eyebrows. The lifting effect helps to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines from your forehead.

A brow lift improves the appearance of the forehead, the brow and the area around the eyes by raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow. Aging typically causes the brows to move down. As skin and soft tissues lose elasticity, the distance between the eyebrows and eyelashes also shortens.

You will probably have swelling and bruising that can affect parts of your face that wasn't operated on, including your cheeks and eyes. The swelling should be gone in about a week

In either case, you may also have numbness or tingling. This will ease over time. Those who have the classic procedure may have more numbness.

Most people can return to work or school within 10 days depending on which procedure was performed and your own personal rate of recovery.

Avoid heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or other activity for the first few weeks after surgery.

The lower position of the eyebrows can make you look tired, angry or sad. A brow lift can raise the eyebrows and restore a refreshed, more pleasing appearance.

Scarring. 

Scarring might be visible after a brow lift.

Changes in skin sensation. 

A brow lift can cause temporary or permanent numbness on the forehead or top of the scalp.

Asymmetry in the position of the brows. 

A brow lift can result in asymmetry, with one or both of the eyebrows appearing too high. Persistent brow shape or position problems can be treated through additional surgery.

Hair problems. 

A brow lift can cause an elevated hairline or hair loss at the incision site. If hair loss doesn't resolve on its own, it can be treated with scar excision or hair grafting.

Procedure of Eyebrow lifting, Miami

· The skin of the forehead needs to be mobilized completely. This means the skin needs to be detached from the skull during surgery. There are 2 options:

o The disadvantage of this incision is that the hairline will move backward as the forehead skin will be lifted. Moving the hairline backward is almost never wanted. 

o Or an incision just a few millimeters inside the hair, the so-called hairline incision. This is the one that is usually opted for.

· To make sure the facial nerve isn't be damaged we choose the plane of dissection directly over the bone right under a very tight membrane that covers the outer surface of the forehead bone.

· To mobilize the brows, an incision of the periosteum can be made just under the brows. 

· Once the brows have been brought into their desired position the access skin needs to be resected and the skin is closed.
