overview

Are you noticing signs of aging around your eyes and forehead, such as drooping brows, deep furrows, or persistent frown lines that make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel?  

Many individuals seek to rejuvenate their upper face, and forehead lifting (brow lift) is a highly effective surgical solution that can dramatically revitalize your appearance. 

What is forehead lifting (brow lift)?

A forehead lifting procedure, commonly known as a brow lift, is a cosmetic surgical technique designed to elevate sagging eyebrows, smooth out forehead wrinkles, and diminish frown lines between the brows. 

This procedure addresses the effects of gravity, sun exposure, and muscle activity over time, which can cause the brow to descend and create an aged or weary expression. 

A brow lift can give a more alert, refreshed, youthful look by carefully repositioning the underlying tissues and muscles.

The goal of a brow lift in Dubai isn’t just to lift the skin, but to restore a natural, harmonious balance to your entire face. 

It can significantly improve the appearance of heavy or hooded upper eyelids, often resulting from a drooping brow rather than excess eyelid skin. Sometimes, a brow lift can even improve peripheral vision if sagging skin obstructs it.

Unveiling the benefits of brow lift surgery in Dubai

Opting for brow lift surgery in Dubai with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Sherif Hantash can offer a multitude of aesthetic and sometimes functional benefits:

Recovery and lasting results

The recovery process after a forehead lifting procedure involves some swelling and bruising, which subside over the first few weeks. Most patients can return to light activities and work within 10-14 days

Full healing and the final results will become more apparent over several months as the tissues settle. Dr. Sherif Hantash will provide you with detailed post-op instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery, including guidance on pain management, wound care, and activity restrictions.

The results of brow lift surgery in Dubai are generally long-lasting, providing a refreshed and more youthful appearance for many years. While the inevitable aging process continues, the improvements achieved through the surgery are significant and enduring.

Types of forehead lifting procedures

Dr. Sherif Hantash will assess your individual needs and facial anatomy to choose the most suitable forehead lifting surgery in Dubai. Common techniques include:

Endoscopic brow lift

A few small incisions are made behind the hairline in this minimally invasive procedure. The forehead tissues are released and repositioned using specialist tools and a small-sized camera called an endoscope. This method leads to a faster recovery and fewer scarring.

Temporal brow lift

Also termed as a lateral brow lift, this procedure focuses on lifting the outer part of the eyebrows and smoothing wrinkles in the temple area. Incisions are usually made within the hairline near the temples.

Coronal brow lift (classic brow lift)

This more traditional approach involves a single incision across the scalp, often from ear to ear, hidden within the hair. Excess skin and tissue are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened. While effective for significant sagging, it involves a longer incision.

Direct brow lift:

This technique involves an incision made directly above the eyebrow, primarily used for functional improvements or in specific cases where other techniques are not ideal. Scars can be more visible but are often camouflaged within the eyebrow hairs.

FAQs

Typically, a brow lift takes between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the technique used.

Dr. Sherif Hantash employs techniques that aim to minimise visible scarring by placing incisions within the hairline or natural skin creases.

Depending on the complexity and patient preference, brow lift surgery can be performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation.

Light exercise can usually be resumed within 2-3 weeks, with more strenuous activities requiring 4-6 weeks of recovery, as your surgeon advises.

While a brow lift offers long-lasting results, it does not stop the natural ageing process. However, the improvements are significant and enduring.
