Methods of eyebrow lifting at the NBMedical clinic

 Plastic surgeons at the NBMedical clinic use both minimally invasive and surgical methods in their practice.

 Preliminarily, the patient needs to decide what result he wants. It is advisable to bring your old photos with you to the appointment. They help the surgeon understand what age-related changes have occurred and develop a personal rejuvenation technique. For example, forehead contouring can be performed as part of or to supplement the eyebrow area, then to get rid of facial wrinkles.

During the consultation, the doctor asks the client in detail about their health, allergies, medications they are taking, and previous interactions with plastic surgeons. The patient must answer all questions honestly, as the outcome of the surgical intervention and the duration of rehabilitation will depend on this. After discussing all the details, the doctor will give the client a memo with a detailed action plan.

Preparation for surgery and postoperative period

Two weeks before the surgery, you must undergo a medical examination to make sure there are no contraindications. Coronary forehead lift requires additional restrictions: you must give up nicotine for three weeks, as it negatively affects blood circulation. It is not necessary to quit smoking before endoscopic plastic surgery. 

Forehead lift. The type of anesthesia is selected individually depending on the characteristics of the patient’s body and the complexity of the operation. Endoscopic correction lasts from 45 to 60 minutes. Through a 10 mm incision, the surgeon gains access to the eyebrow area, separates the tissues and fixes them in a new position. There are few traces of the surgical intervention. Coronary forehead lift is performed through a long incision for 30-45 minutes. Immediately after the procedure, a fixing bandage is applied for several days. The next day, the doctor examines and discharges the patient.

Surgical eyebrow lift.During brow lift, manipulations are performed with the tissues of the upper eyelid, as a result of which wrinkles are eliminated in the interbrow space and in the forehead area. The plastic surgeon makes an incision in the thickness of the natural skin fold of the eyelid, tightens the skin and fixes it to the periosteum. The surgical intervention takes more than an hour, is performed under general anesthesia. Among the main advantages of the technique are the rapid rejuvenation result and the low risk of complications.

When the patient is discharged, the plastic surgeon provides a detailed list of recommendations for the recovery period. The swelling gradually begins to subside a couple of days after the plastic surgery, the swelling will completely disappear in a week. After 2-3 days, you can wash your hair. For 2 weeks, you cannot actively engage in sports and drink alcoholic beverages.

The stitches are removed 10-14 days after the correction. By that time, the appearance is completely restored and you can safely go outside. Two months after the plastic surgery, you need to visit the plastic surgeon again for a routine examination.
