Our eyebrows are the most powerful architects of our facial expressions. Frowning, low, or asymmetrical eyebrows convey a “tired, angry, or sad” message to the outside world, regardless of how happy or energetic the person actually is.
The aging process, gravity, and factors such as sun exposure cause the skin on the forehead to loosen and the eyebrows to descend. When the eyebrows drop, they accumulate on the upper eyelids, shielding the eyes and closing off the gaze.
This condition not only makes a person look much older than they are but sometimes also restricts the field of vision. Dr. Andan Clinic lifts the weight off your forehead with Brow Lift operations, brightening your gaze and giving your face a more open, friendly, and youthful expression.
Brow lift aesthetics is not just about pulling the eyebrow up; it is about repositioning the shape, position, and curve of the eyebrow according to the golden ratio of the face. For those who are tired of temporary solutions like Botox or in cases of advanced sagging where Botox is insufficient, surgical Brow Lift is the most effective and permanent method.
With the advancement of technology, brow lift techniques have also evolved. The most modern techniques are applied at Dr. Andan Clinic according to the patient’s needs:
Endoscopic Brow Lift: This is the most preferred “scarless” method today. It is performed through 3-4 tiny incisions (1-2 cm) made within the scalp using thin instruments with a camera at the tip (endoscope). The forehead tissue and eyebrows are released, moved upward, and fixed in their new position. The Advantage: Since there is no full-length incision, the risk of sensation loss is minimal, recovery is very fast, and the scars are completely hidden within the hair.
Temporal Brow Lift: This is applied in cases where only the outer part (tail) of the eyebrow is low. Entry is made through the temple area to suspend the tail of the eyebrow upward. It is frequently combined with “almond eye” aesthetics.
Classic (Coronal) Lift: This involves removing excess skin through an incision made along the hairline in older patients with significant skin excess in the forehead area. Today, it is less preferred thanks to endoscopic methods.
If you are more satisfied with your appearance when you pull your forehead up with your hands while looking in the mirror, you are likely a candidate for a Brow Lift. Ideal candidates include:
Those whose eyebrows have anatomically fallen below the brow bone (orbital rim).
Those with accumulation on the upper eyelid due to low eyebrows (this is sometimes mistaken for an eyelid issue, but the primary problem is the brow).
Those who constantly look “angry” due to the frowning position of their eyebrows.
Those with deep horizontal lines on their forehead.
Dr. Andan Clinic makes a personalized plan for every patient. Since lifting the eyebrow too high in male patients can lead to a feminine appearance, planning for men is done by preserving the brow line (flatter), while a more curved and raised form is aimed for in women.
In the vast majority of cases, brow lift surgery is performed together with Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Aesthetics). This is because aging around the eyes is a whole.
Taking only the skin from the eyelid is not sufficient if the eyebrow is low; on the contrary, it may pull the eyebrow even further down. Since moving the eyebrow upward also reduces skin accumulation on the eyelid, the eye area is fully rejuvenated in combined surgeries, and the result is perfect.
A Brow Lift is a powerful procedure that restores the upper 1/3 of the face (forehead and eyes). If you are tired of constantly hearing the question “What’s wrong, are you sad?”, it is time to meet the expert surgeons of Dr. Andan Clinic. Cast off that weight from your forehead and look at the world with fresher, more vibrant eyes.
As the incisions are very small in the endoscopic method, hair follicles are not damaged and no localised baldness occurs. In traditional methods, temporary hair thinning may occur along the incision line; however, with the special angled incision techniques used by Dr. Andan Clinic, the hair continues to grow through the incision.
Botox can only lift the eyebrow by 1-2 millimetres and its effect lasts for 4-6 months. If your eyebrow droop is pronounced or you want a permanent solution, Botox will be insufficient. A surgical brow lift permanently lifts the eyebrow to your desired position (5-10 mm higher).
This situation was seen in older techniques where the middle part of the eyebrow was lifted excessively. In the modern techniques used at our clinic, the outer part (tail) of the eyebrow is lifted more to achieve an attractive and dynamic look. This creates a ‘calm’ rather than a ‘surprised’ expression.
Yes, as it is a surgical procedure, the results are permanent for many years (7-10 years and above). Even though ageing and gravity continue, your eyebrows will never return to their previous low position.
Patients are usually discharged on the same day after an endoscopic procedure. There may be slight swelling and bruising on the forehead, which will subside within a week. Headaches may occur but can be managed with painkillers. Patients can return to work after one week.
