Brow lift

The procedure can be performed on its own under local or general anesthesia, or combined with other procedures such as eyelid surgery or a facelift. In the scarless gliding browpexy, a small incision is made in the scalp, through which the skin of the temporal area is gently separated from the underlying tissue. The skin is then glided upward and secured in its new, elevated position using a continuous suture. This suture remains visible on the skin for 48 hours and is then removed, leaving no visible scars. The technique is significantly simpler than earlier methods, such as endoscopic approaches or those involving larger incisions.

Postoperative care after this procedure is relatively easy. Aside from the temporary discomfort caused by the suture that remains visible in the skin for the first two days, symptoms are generally minimal. Mild to moderate swelling may occur, along with little to no pain and occasionally some minor bruising. The removal of the continuous suture in the temporal area on day 2 is painless. In the first few weeks after the procedure, moderate firmness may develop in the treated area, and the skin in that region may feel temporarily numb. This numbness can persist for several months but always resolves on its own. The stitches from the small incision (7 mm) are removed on day 6.

The risk of complications following a gliding scarless browpexy is very low. As with any surgical procedure, bleeding and infection can occur, but these are rare and typically easy to manage. In exceptional cases, a branch of the nerve that controls the forehead muscle may be temporarily affected, resulting in limited movement on one side of the forehead. This almost always resolves spontaneously. If desired, botulinum toxin (Botox) can be temporarily injected into the opposite side of the forehead to reduce muscle activity and minimize the visible asymmetry. By the time the effects of the Botox wear off, the nerve is usually fully recovered, and normal forehead movement returns.
