Types of browlift surgery

Browlift surgery, which is also sometimes referred to as forehead surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to improve the appearance of the sagging forehead skin. All those people who are not pretty happy with the appearance of wrinkles and fold around their forehead region can go for it to reverse the aging process. Contrary to popular perceptions, not only the old and middle aged people but even youngsters are also seeking the surgery, especially the ones that have inherited traits such as drooping eyebrows or other related problems. By opting for the surgery, you can not only take years off your face but also give it a much more refreshing and attentive look that is liked by one and all. 

Three types of procedures are usually adopted for the surgery. These include: 

• Endoscope surgery
• Open Brow Lift surgery
• Temporal Lift surgery

In this cosmetic surgery, various objectives can be achieved such as correction of sagging skin of the forehead, drooping eyebrows and eyelids. 

The surgery involves the maneuvering of tissues in and around the eyebrows. Certain segments of muscles are also removed through the procedure, especially the ones that lead to the development of deep folds and wrinkles which make people look angry and old. The procedure can also be done in tandem with facelift surgery or rhinoplasty (nose correction surgery). 

Most of the surgeons recommend that it should be performed in conjunction with other face surgeries so as to achieve a more balanced and contoured appearance. If you just opt for browlift surgery, it might give an unnatural look to your face as other areas might appear aged and wrinkled. Therefore, it is best to seek the advice of an experienced and reputed cosmetic surgeon rather than making a decision in haste. 

Two types of methods are adopted by the surgeons to perform the surgery – The classic fit and the endoscopic fit. 

Classic Fit is a procedure that requires a single but continuous incision which begins from the level of your ears and goes right up to your hairline. If your hairline is a bit too far back or receding, the surgeon will plan the incision in a way to ensure that the scar remains invisible. 

Endoscopic lifts, on the other hand, involve a few shorter incisions in the scalp region. An endoscope is then inserted into the scalp which has a camera fitted inside so as to view the tissues present inside through a screen. Another device is then inserted by making an incision to perform the required procedure.
