A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to reposition the skin and soft tissues of the forehead and brow area. It can help address a heavy or low-set brow, forehead creases, and frown lines.
Techniques vary and may include incisions hidden within the hairline or at the brow itself. Recovery usually involves temporary swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few weeks. As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, scarring, and changes in sensation.
Brow Lift
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) involves the surgical reshaping of the upper or lower eyelids to address excess skin, muscle, or fat. It may be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
Incisions are generally placed along natural eyelid creases or inside the lower lid to minimise visible scarring. Recovery often takes one to two weeks, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding. Possible risks include dry eyes, temporary blurred vision, and scarring.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty is a procedure to alter the size, shape, or position of the ears. It is commonly performed to reduce the prominence of protruding ears or correct irregular shapes.
The surgery typically involves incisions behind the ear and reshaping the cartilage for a more balanced appearance. Recovery usually takes about one to two weeks, with patients advised to wear a protective headband during healing. Risks include asymmetry, scarring, and changes in skin sensation.
Face Lift
A facelift is designed to address age-related changes in the face and neck by repositioning skin, muscle, and deeper tissues. It may help smooth folds, reduce skin laxity, and restore facial contours.
Incisions are usually placed around the hairline and ear, sometimes extending under the chin. Recovery can take two to four weeks, with swelling and bruising common in the early stages. Potential risks include bleeding, scarring, nerve injury, and asymmetry.
Lip Lift
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. This can rejuvenate lip definition, increasing visible upper lip pink tissue and enhancing more youthful upper teeth show.
The procedure can be done under local anaesthesia, with an incision placed at the base of the nose. Recovery typically takes one to two weeks. Possible risks include scarring, changes in lip sensation, and asymmetry.
Neck Lift
A neck lift targets sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck area. It can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures such as a facelift.
Incisions may be placed under the chin and around the ear, allowing the surgeon to tighten underlying muscles and remove or redistribute excess tissue. Recovery generally takes two to three weeks. Risks include scarring, changes in sensation, and irregular contour.
