FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY
Ponytail / Browlift
Eyebrow sagging is an element of aging. Browlifting yields a brighter, more alert, and less fatigued appearance.
What is a Brow Lift?
Brow lift, forehead lift or ponytail eye lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that lifts the eyebrow and especially its lateral border. It gives the patient a more charming and fresh look.
The Procedure
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal sedation.
It is performed through a hidden incision at the hairline. During this procedure, the skin is released and lifted. The lateral border of the eyebrow is lifted superolaterally. It consists of a part of the procedures known as fox eye, cat eye, and ponytail eye lift.
Procedure can take 1 to 2 hours.
It is performed either endoscopically through hidden incisions at the hairline or as a direct approach with suspension through a discrete brow incision.
Recovery
What about the recovery?
Patients will experience discomfort that can be relieved with medication. Two days after the surgery, you should expect bruising & swelling to be at its worst. Sutures are removed 7 days after the surgery and it takes around 1-2 weeks to recover.
