Brow Lift

home

As we age one of the first areas to be affected is around the eyes. The brow can drop and create a hood over the eyes. This leads to patients complaining of a tired or sad-looking appearance

Brow Lift

Brow lifting is a cosmetic procedure aimed at correcting asymmetry and sagging in brows whether it is from natural causes or aging.

It’s a flexible procedure that can be performed in a variety of ways to best satisfy the patient’s needs.

What Does a Brow Lift Help Address?

To raise your eyebrows to a higher and more alert position.

To correct your expression and frown lines and prevent your face from looking angry or sad all the time.

It improves and minimises the lines on your forehead.

What Results Should You Expect

After undergoing the operation, you should see clear and visible results, which include:

Symmetric and correctly positioned brows that will rejuvenate your face.

Minimal to no signs of sagging and drooping.

If your eyesight has been hampered by your brows getting lower, you should expect the problem to be fixed.

Regaining your natural expression and no longer looking as tired or hostile

Who is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A good candidate for the procedure will have the following qualities:

An ideal candidate for a brow lift will have no other medical conditions

Being overweight can have a negative outcome on surgery, so having a BMI of < 30 is ideal

Not smoking 3 weeks prior to surgery will reduce wound healing problems

Medications such as steroids can impair wound healing

The consultation will also serve to highlight the limitations of the procedure, and try to align expectations of the patient with what the procedure can deliver

How is a Brow Lift Done? What are the Techniques?

There are two main ways the doctor can do a brow lift, and each has its own advantages: Both are performed as a general anaesthetic, and do not involve an overnight stay

Lateral brow lift- This procedure targets the lateral eye area. It is here that most people first notice a change and the procedure is good at restoring smoothness and clarity here. The procedure is performed as a general anesthetic, and can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with other procedures. The scars are hidden in the hairline in the temple area. The procedure typically takes 60- 90 minutes

Endoscopic brow lift: the doctor will perform a few small incisions behind your hairline, and then he’ll insert a long thin tube with a camera mounted on it so he can accurately observe your muscle and tissue structure. He’ll then gently lift your forehead tissues with a dedicated instrument inserted through an incision. There will be clips and sponge bolsters in the hair to hold the skin in its new position. The procedure typically takes 60- 90 minutes

How To Prepare Before Undergoing a Brow Lift Operation?

Make sure you have someone with you that can take care of you and drive you home.

Stop taking blood-thinning medication such as warfarin, aspirin, and Plavix

Avoid alcohol in the days leading to the procedure

Stop smoking 3 weeks before the brow lift as this has a negative effect on wound healing

Avoid heavy exercise in the days before the procedure

Taking Arnica tablets one week leading up to the operation can significantly reduce the amount of bruising you experience

How Long is the Recovery Time?

It is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and headache after the procedure.

This typically resolves over the following 10-14 days.

The amount of discomfort is less in the lateral lift compared to the endoscopic procedure.

The stitches/ clips will be removed at 2 weeks

Postoperative Care, How Important Is It?

Dr. Faisal suggests that you sleep with 2-3 pillows for the first few days after surgery. You should also avoid leaning forward. These measures are designed to help limit the swelling and accelerate the healing process

Most patients are back to their normal routine by 10-14 days. The lateral temporal lift heals more quickly than the endoscopic technique

You should return to the gym at 4 weeks

I had breast augmentation surgery with Dr Faisal and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. The whole process from consultation to aftercare appointments was professional, caring and to the highest standard. He listened to what I wanted and the results are incredible. I would have any future treatments done by Dr Faisal and would send anyone I know to him also.

Been looking for doctors over years now both in Dubai and India. Never felt fully comfortable with anyone to go forward with the procedure, then I came across Dr. Faizal, found him while I was doing research online and read a lot of positive reviews. Went down for a consultation, a really gem of a person. Immediately felt comfortable, he explained me everything in detail, assured me and got exactly what I wanted and the price was reasonable as well. The hospital the surgery was held at had the best services and staff as well. They took care of everything and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the procedure. Came back home the same day, I'm at 6 weeks post op now, and the healing is wonderful and now I feel much more confident, all thanks to him. If anyone is looking for a breast augmentation, I would definitely suggest to go for a consultation with him and decide for themselves.

Having done a lot of research and looked around Dubai for the best possible option for us, we found Dr Faisal, and I'm so glad we did! The non judgemental and honest advice throughout as well as his pre and post op care is incredible and has been there every step of the way for me. Thank you so much Dr Faisal for everything :).

I came to Dr.Faisal not sure of anything. I wasn’t happy with my body as I had a lot of excess skin due to massive weight loss. I was scared of the idea of a surgery, so came in hoping for an alternative. Here I am months - 3 months post my surgery, wearing a pair of jeans that would have never fit me before. I had a lower body lift surgery done, and I must say my results are amazing. My body has changed so much, and I am very very happy with the way I look now. Dr.Faisal is a great doctor. He will make sure you are aware of everything before and after the procedure and is always there for his patients. My favorite trait about him is that he is always available. Being a patient who has low pain tolerance, and someone who worries a lot, I would always call him. I would have a lot to ask before and after the surgery- and he was always there. It didn’t matter what day or time it was, he made sure to help with every little thing and I am very grateful for him. Thank you doctor, I can now sit without having layers of my stomach falling down, I can now wear my clothes much more confidently and can finally say I love my body.

I can’t recommend Dr Faisal enough, he gets me the results I want every time. He answers all of my questions in depth and explains how and why he does things and makes me feel comfortable. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Two words to describe my experience with Dr. Faisal: life changing. I had a breast reduction and it has changed my life! The procedure itself was painful for the first 2 hours and much to my surprise I was ready to go home only 4 hours after waking up and ready to return to work only 3 days later. My back, neck and shoulders feel great, my posture is better and I couldn't be happier! I recommend Dr. Faisal and the surgery 100%, my only regret is not finding him 10 years sooner! Thank you Doc!!

Dr Faisal is a skilled surgeon who is extremely meticulous and I would highly recommend him. He has a pleasant and calm demeanor which puts you at ease. He looks at the whole person and what they want to achieve and relays realistically what can be done which helps set the right level of expectation from the outset. He shows compassion throughout the process which makes you feel like you are in good hands. Overall Dr Faisal exceeded my expectations and I am so pleased with my results!
