Different Types of Browlift Procedures

As we begin to age, one of the more visible effects we see is that of our skin sagging and developing a layer of fat on our eyelids, making us not only look older but duller and tired as well. As our brows begin to fall below the forehead, an extra layer of skin gets created in turn making the upper eyelid heavier than ever before. This leads to the narrowing of space that exists between the eyelids and the brow, which makes us quite old and tired. In order to get rid of this problem, a lot of people take the eyelid surgery route. However, to get the best results you can go for a combination of eyelid as well as browlift surgery in Auckland. By taking this route, you can expect a much better result than a simple eyelid surgery.

While going for a browlift procedure in Auckland, what you need to understand is that the position of your eyebrow as well as the space between forehead and eyebrow play a very important role. These are some of the important factors which help the surgeon decide as to what type of browlift procedure would best suit you.

As far as the type of browlift surgery is concerned, there exist two main types – the open browlift procedure and the closed browlift procedure. Closed browlift surgery is the one that involves the use of an endoscope. In this procedure, the surgery is done from the back of the scalp. Usually two or four incisions are made around the upper part of the forehead or hairline. A set of micro cameras are placed under the skin so as to facilitate the release of brow from below the skin. Once this is achieved, the brow unit is then lifted up and shifted back to gain the desired results. The downside of this procedure is that it makes forehead a bit longer and the hairline falls back a bit as well. Also, if there exist quite a bit of muscle action in the muscles between eyebrows, then endoscopic procedure does not prove much effective.

Open browlift is a procedure that is done by making an incision, which in turn leads to scars around the hairline or a few inches behind it. When this procedure is done on patients with high forehead, they face a similar problem that the ones who go for closed procedures face. To get the best results from this procedure, the incisions should be made at the frontal hairline.
