Overview of Mini Brow Lift
As we age, the skin of the forehead gradually loses its elasticity and pronounced forehead lines and wrinkles can appear. The eyebrows can come to rest at a slightly lower position (brow ptosis) which may exacerbate heaviness of the upper eyelids.
The individual may have a permanently tired or prematurely aged look. Although this is usually seen in people of middle-age or older, the problem can be there from the start in younger people with a genetic predisposition.
Important: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whilst anti-wrinkle injections can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the forehead and help lift the sagging brow to a degree; in some people, the brow has drooped to an extent that the upper lid can become “hooded” with the appearance of excess skin above the eyes. The person may look tired and older than their real age.
Brow lifting is a surgical procedure where the tissues of the forehead are lifted to a higher position, raising the eyebrows to give a more youthful and rested appearance.
In our Perth clinic, brow lift surgery is carried out as a day procedure. Fluid containing local anaesthetic is placed in the brow to reduce patient discomfort as well as to reduce bleeding during the operation. The tissues of the forehead are freed through the small incisions in the scalp. The forehead tissues are then lifted to the desired position and fixed in place before the incisions are closed, usually with dissolving stitches.
Brow lifting is frequently combined with other rejuvenating procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and facelift surgery.
Most patients tolerate the procedure extremely well and can go home within a few hours. Oral painkillers and antibiotics are routinely prescribed after the procedure. Most of the bruising and swelling associated with surgery settles within the first 1 to 2 weeks and many patients are able to return to normal activities at that stage.

The Medaesthetics Difference
"Art, indeed, consists in the conception of the result to be produced before its realisation in the material." - Aristotle
The practice of aesthetic medicine and surgery is as much an art as it is a science. The aesthetic sense of a clinician in evaluating a patient is as important as his or her clinical skills. At Medisculpt®, our philosophy is to artistically enhance your appearance in a way that stresses elegance over glamour.
