A brow lift is a very effective way to rejuvenate the entire face. It lifts sagging brows, deep furrows between the eyes and etched lines across the forehead. The procedure involves the tightening or partial removal of the select facial muscles responsible for the drop in brow position. The incision is typically in or behind the hairline and so is very discrete. The browlift is sometimes considered with upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedures.-

Procedure of Brow Lift

Procedure

The incision is typically in or behind the hairline and so is very discrete. There are two types of Brow Lift Surgeries:
An Open Brow Lift involves one continuous incision, beginning at the level of your ears and going up around your hair line. Depending on where your hair line is, the surgeon will move the incision line to avoid a visible scar.
An Endoscopic Brow Lift is a more advanced procedure and involves the use of a tiny camera to locate the imperfections, and smaller incisions to make the ...+

    A key aspect of preparing for any surgery is that your Surgeon understands your desires and expectations. At your initial consultation, your Consultant will explain the procedure in great detail, discuss your expectations and what he/she can achieve for you, ensuring you have realistic expectations of the results.
    Your Surgeon will also want to evaluate your current physical health and health history, ensuring you are a suitable candidate for surgery. Because this is an elective procedure, you and your Surgeon will naturally carefully discuss the benefits and risks involved, as is the case with any surgical procedure.-

    Excess skin is removed and occasionally fat and muscle is re-positioned to improve the longevity of the results. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthetic and takes between one and a half and two hours. All River Medical surgical procedures involve an overnight hospital stay to allow us to closely monitor your recovery and ensure optimum safety. After all, a hospital environment is the safest and only adequate place to deal with any potential eventualities.-

    Typically you will stay overnight in hospital after your procedure. You will need someone to take you home when you are discharged by the Surgeon as you will not be able to drive. You may have bruising and swelling around the area. Your Surgeon will tell you more about the typical recovery process and may make recommendations based on your individual case but by and large expect to take between 7-10 days off work. If your job is physical you may require more time. Everyone recovers differently but you can rest assured that we will monitor you closely to ensure the swiftest, safest and most comfortable recovery.-

We are also proud to say that we adhere to the strictest of ethical guidelines and believe that only highly trained medical staff should advise on cosmetic procedures - be it surgical or non-surgical.

    You will need to take 7 to 10 days off after your surgery. If your job is physical you may require more time. Everyone recovers differently and the River Medical team will monitor you closely. You will have an element of discomfort after your surgery which typically lasts one to ten days but this will be managed with the support of your Consultant Plastic Surgeon and River Medical Registered General Nurse.

We feel that this really promotes and aids a speedy and successful recovery. Everyone recovers differently but you can rest assured that we will monitor you closely to ensure the swiftest, safest and most comfortable recovery.

  • Am I a suitable candidate?+-

    Your Consultant will assess your suitability for a brow lift and recommend the best treatment for you at your free consultation. He/she will also show your pictures of similar patients so that you can be confident about your expected results.

  • How should I prepare for my procedure?+-

    Preparation will begin with an initial consultation with your Consultant Plastic Surgeon, followed by a meeting with one of our Registered General Nurses. Each one will go through every aspect of the surgery in great detail. Prior to surgery you will return for a further comprehensive pre-operative assessment with your River Medical Nurse. Your Consultant will be available to you right up until your surgery should you wish to see him/her again.

  • Where will my surgery be carried out?+-

    Your surgery should ONLY be carried out in a Private General Hospital that is fully accredited. A hospital environment is the safest and only adequate place to deal with any potential eventualities.

  • What sort of aftercare will I receive?+-

    At River Medical, you will receive FREE and unlimited aftercare post surgery.

  • Will there be scarring?+-

    The incision is typically in or behind the hairline and so is very discrete.

  • Why choose River Medical?+-

    We are widely regarded as being the industry leader in cosmetic surgery. At River Medical, we never compromise on the level of care and attention we give each and every one of our patients, every time, and we are committed to you from procedure right through to your 24/7, lifelong aftercare.

  • Why do you not have before and after pictures on your website?+-

    Before and after pictures on websites can be misleading as they may not be patients of the surgeon who will be carrying out your surgery. As every person has completely different expectations and different treatment requirements, it is a much more valuable tool for your Consultant to show pictures of not only surgeries that he/she has carried out but also show you results you will be likely to achieve.

Testimonials

It has been 6 months since my surgery and I am truly delighted with the result that I got. I have a collection of eye shadows now that I wear proudly and can apply without having to find my eye lid! The care and professionalism of the River Medical staff and my Consultant was fantastic and I would have no trouble recommending River Medical to anyone.
