Droopy Eyelids and Drooping Brows, Upper Eyelid Correction With Brow Lift

As you get older, your face changes, including skin ageing and changes in the bone structure around the eyes. The brows start to drop, the outer eye corners droop, and the upper eyelid skin sags until it covers the eyelid crease, which makes you look older than your age. This happens because the skin loses elasticity, collagen and elastin decrease, the facial muscles weaken, and gravity pulls the skin down.

Besides age, other factors can cause drooping brows, drooping outer eye corners and upper eyelid skin covering the crease, which can make you look tired and less fresh. Some people do not like taking photos of their face because they feel they look older than their age, which lowers their confidence in their appearance and affects how much they enjoy daily life.

• Drooping brows, where the space between the brows and the eyelid margin becomes narrower, making you look stern or frowning.
• Drooping outer eye corners, where sagging skin at the outer corners makes eyes that used to tilt upwards turn down.
• Droopy eyelids, where upper eyelid skin covers the eyelid crease, pressing on the eyes so they look smaller and heavy-lidded.

If low brows and drooping outer eye corners make you look stern or sad, lifting the brows can help give your face a softer, brighter look again with endoscopic brow lift using Endotine together with frown muscle surgery. This helps with narrow brows and hooded eyelid creases, so the face may look softer and younger.

In endoscopic forehead and brow lift surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions and inserts a small camera to separate the muscle and tissue layers, then lifts them and secures them with fixation material.

Benefits of Endoscopic Brow Lift

• It is an endoscopic technique with incisions of only 3cm.
• In some cases it may lower the chance of bruising, and the time it takes to get back to your daily routine depends on each person.
• The operation takes 2 to 3 hours.
• A general anaesthetic is given by an anaesthetist.
• The incision is hidden in the hairline, where the scar is usually hard to see.

The surgeon makes 3 to 5 small incisions on the scalp behind the hairline and uses a small camera to separate the tissue and reposition the brows. The muscle and tissue are lifted into a balanced position and stitched to fixation material in the new position so they stay in place for longer.

• a smoother, firmer forehead
• raised brows and more space between the brows and eyes
• a clearer eyelid crease and lifted outer eye corners

The brows return to a higher position, and the eyes look brighter without upper eyelid skin covering the crease
The face may look younger and fresher. Results can last 5 to 10 years, depending on each person.

Because endoscopic brow lift lifts the brows back to their original position, it is not expected to cause bulging eyes, change the shape of the eyes or stop the eyes closing fully. The endoscopic technique lets the surgeon see inside clearly, which lowers the chance of affecting nearby tissue.
