Symptoms:
Drooping eyebrows (also called eyebrow ptosis); Eyelid skin beginning to hang over the outer corners of the eyes; Angry and irritated look as the skin starts to hang over the eyes, the need to constantly lift the forehead muscles to elevate the drooping forehead skin.
Description of Procedure:
Through scars hidden behind the hairline, this operation lifts the forehead/eyebrow complex to a more youthful position, and effectively reduces upper eyelid as well as lower eyelid skin excess to 'brighten up' the eye area. The midface can be suspended with sutures to reduce cheek drooping at the same time. Hair growth is not affected in this tension free technique and no bald patches will develop. Dr Lim's preference is for effective brow lifting without leaving you with a too much of a 'surprised' look! This operation may be combined with upper eyelid lift, eyebag removal as well as a face lift.
Anaesthesia:
- General Anaesthesia, Intravenous sedation.
Hospital Stay:
- A day surgical procedure performed in the clinic.
- Can also be performed in hospital at your request.
Downtime:
- You will be able to walk out of the clinic
- Hair wash at designated hairdressing salon at 48 hours
- Clips out at 10 days
- Normal activities can be resumed after 1 week with sunglasses
- Remnant bruising and swelling will resolve by 2 weeks (so you will need to plan to be socially absent for 2 weeks)
