Brow Lift

A brow lift, medically known as a forehead lift or browplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the upper face by reducing sagging of the brows and forehead skin. It’s designed to reduce the appearance of noticeable wrinkles, smooth lines, and restore a more youthful appearance to the upper facial area.

During a brow lift, Mr Waseem Bhat uses the technique that best suits your individual needs and desired outcomes. Traditionally, this involves a method whereby incisions are made either at the hairline or within the scalp. This allows Mr Bhat to lift and reposition underlying tissues and muscles. Alternative approachs include removing strips of skin or an endoscopic method, which utilises smaller incisions and a tiny camera to perform the procedure with minimal scarring. Through these techniques, excess skin is removed, and muscles are adjusted to lift and reshape the brow and forehead.

Post-surgery, you can expect some bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort. Recovery times vary, but you’ll generally find you can resume light activities within a week. Strenuous activities and exercise / going to the gym should be avoided for a few weeks to ensure proper healing. Aftercare includes wound care and following specific instructions from Mr Bhat, which may involve keeping the head elevated and taking prescribed medications to manage discomfort and prevent infection.

Longer term, you will need to ensure you protect the skin from sun exposure and engage in a specific skincare routine recommended by Mr Bhat.

Results typically become more apparent as swelling subsides, with a smoother forehead, reduced wrinkles, and a rejuvenated upper face. It’s essential to attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns, ensuring optimal and satisfying outcomes. These are typically made at 1 week, 6 weeks 6 months after surgery.
