Short-Scar Direct Brow Lift (Direct Supra-brow Lift)
What is a Direct Supra-brow Lift?
A direct supra-brow lift is a surgical procedure that involves removing skin just above the eyebrows to raise their position. This may be considered for people with drooping eyebrows (brow ptosis) or when the brow position contributes to hooding of the upper eyelid.
When might this procedure be considered?
A direct supra-brow lift may be discussed for:
- Brow ptosis (drooping of the eyebrows)
- Upper eyelid skin that appears loose due to brow position
- Concerns about brow shape after previous surgery, tattooing, or laser treatments
Your suitability for this procedure will depend on your individual anatomy, medical history, and treatment goals, which will be assessed during consultation.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure usually takes around one hour and is commonly performed under local anaesthetic.
Risks and possible complications
All surgical procedures carry some risks. Possible risks of a direct supra-brow lift may include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Infection
- Scarring at the incision site
- Recurrence of brow ptosis over time
Not all individuals experience complications, and the risks vary from person to person. These will be discussed in detail during consultation to help you make an informed decision.
