Brow lift
A brow lift or forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that will return the brow to a more youthful shape and position as well as minimize the creases and wrinkles across the forehead.
The signs of aging on your face start off oh-so subtly, usually on your brow and forehead. As you age, your skin begins to lose its elasticity. You also lose fat in your temples and brow area. Factor in the sun, the wind's harsh effects and the pull of gravity, and you’ve got frown lines (vertical creases between your eyebrows), wrinkling across your forehead and heavy, drooping eyebrows. These changes can start when you are in your 30s, and may make you look angry, sad or even perplexed when you are not.

Gliding (subcutaneous) browlift:
“A ‘gliding browlift’ is a simple surgery to elevate the brows and/or change the shape. The gliding brow lift uses small incisions within the hairline so results are virtually scarless. Using specialized tools, the upper layer of skin is separated from the lower tissues and muscles, allowing it to be pulled upward without disrupting the function and appearance of deeper fascia.
The skin and brow are then fixed to the muscle underneath with a quilting type of suture, also known as a “hemostatic net”. The quilting sutures are visible, but vital to securing the longevity of the lift. The sutures are removed after 48-72 hours. This allows enough time for a bond to form between the skin and the muscle. There is usually some swelling and very commonly some bruising.
Recovery from a gliding brow lift is minimal, and you can return to work within seven to ten days. Once your surgical site heals, you’ll see noticeable improvement in your brow’s smoothness, appearance, and proportion. The gliding brow lift can produce long-term results as long as you practice good skincare and anti-aging care.
Lateral brow lift:
Lateral brow lift, also referred to by many as temporal brow lift or simply temporal lift, is among the less invasive surgical ones and mainly targets the outer eyebrows, the outer corners of the eyes as well as the temporal area. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia and requires small incisions in the temple area above the hairline. Once the scars fade, they completely blend in with the hair. The outcome is immediately visible and in spite of the swelling, the recovery time is relatively short.
Keep in mind that you may need a modified or additional procedure to achieve your goals and expectations. For example, a forehead lift is often performed during a facelift, eye lift surgery or chemical peel. Your plastic surgeon in Cyprus can help develop a successful strategy, which often includes a combination treatment plan customized for each individual.
