Just like almond shaped eyes, that continues upwards towards the temples, is considered to be a code for beauty, so is raised eyebrows – that continue rising from the mid-brow upwards – These are pretty desirable.
But that is not all. Eyebrow lift surgery can usually give a solution for people who want to separate from the tired, heavy and sagging look of their face – which happens to most of us at a certain age.
And in fact, eyebrow lift surgery is one of the most common aesthetic procedures in recent years, often combined with an eyelid lift to achieve a fresh and youthful appearance. What else should you know about the process and how does it work at TLV Medical center? Here it is.
What is eyebrow lift surgery?
Removal of excess sagging skin and muscle of the forehead and eyebrows repositioning targeting correction of deep forehead wrinkles and reshaping the appearance of the eyebrows.
Eyebrow lift surgery leads to a less sullen or worried look, the eyes appear more open and the face, gain a relaxed and fresh look. People looking at you will not always point out the change, and will only mention that you look better, as if you just came back from a great vacation.
It is important to note that when it comes to such a delicate procedure, which will largely determine the first impression you make on people, you must choose a specialist surgeon who is an expert in the process, who both understands the intricacies of facial anatomy and also knows a great deal about proportional aesthetics. After all, one cannot redesign the eyebrow structure without taking into account the eye structure, the age of the patient and even the hairline.
How is an eyebrow lift surgery performed?
There are several techniques for this surgery and these are adjusted to the patients according to their skin type, age and facial structure. If, for example, the eyebrow lift is combined with an eyelid lift surgery – which happens many times – it is customary to 'use' on the same incisions. In other cases, the incisions are made at the hairline and the eyebrows are raised while excess skin is removed. These are the leading techniques and the one that suits you precisely will be specified by the surgeon.
Even when the goal is to tilt the eyebrow, the operation is performed in a similar way, meaning using the same techniques.
