When people complain of having “heavy eyelids”, they often also have a degree of “heavy eyebrows”. For some, the problem should therefore be solved with an eyebrow lift instead of or as a supplement to upper eyelid surgery.
The reason for heavy eyebrows in most people is that the tissue loses some of its elasticity with increasing age. This means that the forehead skin becomes loose and the eyebrow droops.
The problem can be remedied with an eyebrow lift either by removing skin directly above the eyebrow (direct lift) or by lifting the forehead from the hairline (temporal lift)
Surgery for heavy eyebrows usually takes place under local anesthesia and typically takes 1-1½ hours.
It is important that you are well prepared for the operation. Smoking is the main cause of complications such as infection and tissue death, and you must therefore stop smoking at least 4 weeks before the operation and must start again no earlier than 4 weeks after the operation.
It is a good idea that you have read the information here on the website before the preliminary examination and that you write down the questions that arise while you are reading and bring these with you to the preliminary examination.
When you come to the preliminary examination, we will ask you to bring the information form about your health, which is attached to the information material you receive from us when you book an appointment.
During the preliminary examination, you talk to the plastic surgeon about your wishes, and you will be examined so that it can be determined which treatment can be offered. You will then receive thorough information about the operation and the aftermath.
The result after cosmetic surgery is not permanent, as the normal aging processes, smoking, pregnancies, weight loss and weight gain can affect the result in the long term.
The operation takes place under local anesthesia and lasts approx. 1 hour. During the operation, you lie with your eyes closed and can feel that something is going on, but you have no pain. During the operation, the excess skin is removed just above the eyebrow. The skin is sewn with a very thin nylon thread, and the scar will be located at the transition between the eyebrow and the forehead, so that in the long term it is largely invisible.
The operation takes place under local anesthesia and lasts approx. 1½ hours. During the operation, you lie with your eyes closed and can feel that something is going on, but you have no pain. During the operation, part of the forehead is loosened from the hairline down to the eyebrow, the excess skin is removed at the hairline, whereby the eyebrow is lifted up. The skin is sewn with a very thin nylon thread, and the scar will be located at the transition between the hairline and the forehead, so that in the long term it is largely invisible.
When the operation is over, you rest for approx. 10 minutes with cooling glasses on the wounds. You can then go home, but you must not drive yourself immediately after the operation. Transportation will be arranged for you.
For the following day, we recommend that you use cooling glasses for 10-15 minutes at a time, every few hours. Should the wounds ooze with a little blood, you must rest with your head elevated and use the cooling goggles. This will usually stop any bleeding.
The local anesthetic usually works for a few hours after the operation. When the effect wears off, you only get mild pain, which is treated with painkillers. This is usually only necessary for the first few days.
You must not bend down so that your face is below heart level, especially in the first few days, as this could otherwise provoke bleeding.
The skin is sewn with a thread, which must be removed by our nurse. You must therefore come for a check-up after 6-7 days, where the thread is removed and we see that everything is as it should be.
It is common for you to be on sick leave from work for 1-2 days after the operation, but if you have a physically demanding job, sick leave for up to 1 week may be necessary.
When you go home, you will take painkillers with you . There is usually little pain. You can shower after 2 days. You can start training and after approx. 2 – 3 weeks. If you are in strong sun for the first 6 months, we recommend using a sun block .
