To help you understand the basic treatment options, the table below compares where the incision is hidden and what the scar is like for each technique.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Surgical technique<\/th><th>Scar position<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Endoscopic brow lift<\/td><td>Hidden behind the hairline<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sub-brow lift<\/td><td>Hidden under the lower edge of the brow<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Direct brow lift<\/td><td>Along the upper edge of the brow hairs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Temporal lift<\/td><td>Along the edge of the hairline at the temples<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pretrichial brow lift<\/td><td>Along the edge of the hairline on the forehead<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing a suitable surgical method helps address sagging in a way that matches each person&#8217;s concern. Scars in each position need different recovery times and care. In general, these scars gradually fade and blend in with the surrounding skin after the first week.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Endoscopic Brow Lift Scars, Hidden in the Hairline With an Endoscope<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow lift surgery with the <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/endoscopic-brow-lift-endotine\/\">endoscopic brow lift technique<\/a> hides about 3 to 5 incisions of about 1cm to 2cm within the hairline. This helps keep the scars out of sight after surgery.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surgery uses a thin camera (endoscope) to reach and adjust the forehead muscles instead of a long traditional incision. The surgeon makes small incisions of only 2cm to 3cm, hidden behind the hairline, divided into 5 small points.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the incisions have healed, hair grows back to cover them along your original hairline. The surgeon usually sees you to remove the stitches or metal skin clips within 10 to 14 days.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brow Lift Scars Under the Brow (Sub-Brow Lift)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sub-brow lift scars are hidden along the lower edge of the tail of the brow, to lift sagging upper eyelid skin. This method removes excess skin from drooping upper eyelids without redoing double eyelid surgery. It suits people who already have a clear eyelid crease but whose skin has started to sag and <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/fix-hidden-eyelid-brow-lift-endoscopic-s45-clinic\/\">hide the eyelid crease<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surgeon removes the excess skin and closes the incision carefully along the lower edge of the brow hairs, so the scar blends in with the brow hairs once it has fully healed after the stitches are removed. Applying scar ointment and avoiding strong sunlight are important steps that help the scar fade.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brow Lift Scars Above the Brow (Direct Brow Lift)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Direct brow lift scars sit right along the upper edge of the brow hairs. The surgeon makes an incision parallel to the brow hairs to remove excess skin. This technique can correct marked brow drooping in older adults, and after full recovery the scar is disguised by the brow hairs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early period, take care with facial expressions to reduce tension on the skin around the eyes. The surgeon usually removes the stitches within 7 to 10 days after surgery to avoid stitch marks along the incision (sometimes called railroad-track marks). About 30 days after the wound has dried completely, you can use an eyebrow pencil to cover the scar while it is still pink.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Outer Eye Corner Lift Scars at the Temples (Temporal Lift)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A temporal lift for the brows and outer eye corners hides the incision within the hairline at the temples, so the scar is not easy to notice. This method suits people whose outer eye corners droop or whose <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/eyebrow-tail-ptosis\/\">brow tails have started to droop<\/a>. The scar is small, about 2cm to 3cm, and is hidden in the hair above the ear, so it blends in with the scalp.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scar gradually fades after careful stitching, and the stitches are removed within 7 to 14 days after surgery. Caring for the scar is simple: keep it clean and dry your hair completely with a cool hairdryer setting to reduce moisture around the scabs.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brow Lift Scars Along the Front Hairline (Pretrichial Brow Lift)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scars from a pretrichial brow lift, through the front hairline of the forehead, sit along the upper edge of the forehead hairline. This technique reduces the height of the forehead while <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/forehead-brow-lift\/\">lifting the upper face<\/a>. It suits people with a high forehead who want to reduce the distance between the brows and the hairline. The surgeon makes a zigzag incision parallel to the hairs, so new hair can grow through the scar on its own.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of scar needs careful care, because it sits at the front of the forehead where it is easy to notice in the early period after surgery. Keep the wound especially clean with sterile saline, and apply scar ointment regularly after the stitches are removed, to help the scar gradually fade and blend in with the hairline.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE41;&#xE1C;&#xE25;&#xE22;&#xE01;&#xE04;&#xE34;&#xE49;&#xE27;&#xE1C;&#xE48;&#xE32;&#xE15;&#xE31;&#xE14;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE1A;&#xE44;&#xE21;&#xE48;&#xE1C;&#xE48;&#xE32;&#xE15;&#xE31;&#xE14;&#xE15;&#xE48;&#xE32;&#xE07;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE19;&#xE40;&#xE22;&#xE2D;&#xE30;&#xE44;&#xE2B;&#xE21;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Different Are the Marks From Surgical and Non-Surgical Brow Lifts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surgical and non-surgical brow lifts leave clearly different marks, in the size of the mark, where it is hidden and how long the skin takes to heal.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which method suits you depends on how much the skin of the upper face sags. To give a clear picture and help you decide, the differences are compared below.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Comparison<\/th><th>Surgical brow lift<\/th><th>Non-surgical brow lift<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Type of mark<\/td><td>An incision along the skin<\/td><td>Small needle marks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Healing time<\/td><td>7 to 14 days before stitch removal<\/td><td>Redness fades in 1 to 3 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aftercare<\/td><td>Clean the wound every day<\/td><td>Avoid rubbing your face hard in the early period<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For both types, apply scar ointment regularly from the first 14 days after treatment to help the skin heal smoothly.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brow Lift Surgery and Where the Scars Are<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow lift surgery hides the incisions along the contours of the face so they are hard to notice. Where the scars are depends on the technique chosen, such as behind the hairline, or for some techniques along the upper edge of the brow or under the brow, so the stitches blend in with your brow hairs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This surgery lifts the skin of the forehead and brows and can help with sagging. The incisions are small, about 1cm to 2cm, depending on the device used to fix the deeper tissue. With proper care, these scars gradually fade to thin, pale lines over 3 to 6 months.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Non-Surgical Brow Lifts and Small Needle Marks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A non-surgical brow lift leaves only small needle entry points that look like tiny red dots. These usually fade on their own, without the incision scars of brow lift surgery.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method uses a <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/thread-lift-brow-lift\/\">thread lift to lift the skin<\/a> of the forehead. The needle marks from the needle that guides the thread are usually hidden in the hairline or above the middle of the brow, and are only 1mm to 2mm in size.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/botox-brow-lift\/\">Heat-based energy devices<\/a> for skin tightening do not involve any incision on the outside, but may cause temporary redness that fades on its own in about 2 to 3 hours. Cold compresses straight after treatment can help reduce the redness and the needle marks sooner.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE17;&#xE33;&#xE44;&#xE21;&#xE01;&#xE32;&#xE23;&#xE22;&#xE01;&#xE04;&#xE34;&#xE49;&#xE27;&#xE16;&#xE36;&#xE07;&#xE0A;&#xE48;&#xE27;&#xE22;&#xE41;&#xE01;&#xE49;&#xE15;&#xE32;&#xE15;&#xE01;&#xE41;&#xE25;&#xE30;&#xE2B;&#xE19;&#xE49;&#xE32;&#xE14;&#xE38;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why a Brow Lift Can Help With Drooping Eyes and a Stern Look<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow lift surgery can help with drooping eyes and a stern look by lifting the sagging skin of the forehead upwards. This increases the space between the eyes and brows, so eyes that looked sleepy or stern can look more open and brighter. Brow lift scars can be hidden along different lines so they are not clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lifting this area also eases pressure from the muscles around the eyes, which often tense up and cause deep lines around the face. Tightening the forehead skin by only 5mm to 10mm can change your overall expression to look warmer and friendlier, depending on each person.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drooping Brows That Make the Face Look Stressed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/eyebrow-ptosis\/\">Drooping brows<\/a> directly affect how your face looks and comes across, because the narrower space between the brows and upper eyelids makes the skin bunch up. This skin sags down over the eyes, making the face look dull, sad and sleepy all the time.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the brows and outer eye corners droop, the forehead muscles have to work to lift them so you can see, which causes deep lines around the eyes. This makes the face look frowning and tired all the time. People with this concern often notice that the outer eye crease slopes down at a lower angle than usual, clearly visible from the age of 30.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reshaping the Upper Face for a Brighter Look<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reshaping the upper face can help you look brighter by lifting the sagging skin of the forehead and brow line higher than before. The wider space between the eyes and brows helps reduce a tired look, and the excess skin that used to fall over the eyelids becomes tighter, so the eyes can look more open and bright.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE22;&#xE01;&#xE04;&#xE34;&#xE49;&#xE27;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE1A;&#xE17;&#xE33;&#xE15;&#xE32;&#xE2A;&#xE2D;&#xE07;&#xE0A;&#xE31;&#xE49;&#xE19;&#xE15;&#xE48;&#xE32;&#xE07;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE19;&#xE15;&#xE23;&#xE07;&#xE40;&#xE23;&#xE37;&#xE48;&#xE2D;&#xE07;&#xE41;&#xE1C;&#xE25;&#xE15;&#xE23;&#xE07;&#xE44;&#xE2B;&#xE19;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do the Scars From a Brow Lift and Double Eyelid Surgery Differ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These 2 types of procedure differ clearly in where the scars are and how large they are. The table below compares where the incisions are made, to help you choose a suitable method more easily.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Surgery<\/th><th>Main incision position<\/th><th>Main purpose<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Brow lift<\/td><td>Hidden along the hairline or under the edge of the brow<\/td><td>Lifts sagging skin of the forehead<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Double eyelid surgery<\/td><td>In the eyelid crease<\/td><td>Creates a new eyelid crease and removes excess fat<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow lift scars are usually hidden along the hairline or the edge of the brow, while <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/upper-eyelid-correction-endoscopic-brow-lift\/\">double eyelid<\/a> scars are hidden in the eyelid crease. Both areas take about 7 to 10 days to recover before the stitches are removed.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brow Lift Incisions Address the Cause in the Upper Facial Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow lift incisions give the surgeon an opening to directly treat sagging of the deeper tissue of the forehead and upper face, which is the main cause of skin sagging and bunching up above the eyes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of surgery adjusts muscle and fat that have changed with age and lifts the skin of the upper face. The incisions become new fixation points that help support the fibrous tissue under the skin in a lifted position, so the distance between the brows and eyes can stay balanced over the long term.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can also adjust the height of the 2 brows so they are more even, based on your own anatomy. Placing the incisions in the hairline or at the temples lets the surgeon lift a wider area, from the forehead to the outer eye corners, and the small scars of about 1cm to 2cm gradually fade and blend in with the surrounding skin over 3 to 6 months.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Double Eyelid Incisions Focus on Creating a New Eyelid Crease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Double eyelid incisions, by contrast, sit directly in the eyelid crease to create a clearer new crease, unlike a brow lift, which hides the incisions higher up or in the hairline. This incision is designed specifically to adjust the fat and skin layers of the eyelid. The surgeon marks the height of the new crease and makes the incision along the drawn line, so the scar folds into the eyelid crease when your eyes are open.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incision starts to heal and feel less tight after about 7 to 14 days, which is the usual time for stitch removal. After that, the pinkish scar gradually changes colour and blends in with the skin around the eyes within 3 to 6 months, as part of the skin&#8217;s normal healing cycle.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE27;&#xE34;&#xE18;&#xE35;&#xE14;&#xE39;&#xE41;&#xE25;&#xE41;&#xE1C;&#xE25;&#xE22;&#xE01;&#xE04;&#xE34;&#xE49;&#xE27;&#xE2B;&#xE25;&#xE31;&#xE07;&#xE1C;&#xE48;&#xE32;&#xE15;&#xE31;&#xE14;&#xE43;&#xE2B;&#xE49;&#xE08;&#xE32;&#xE07;&#xE25;&#xE07;&#xE40;&#xE23;&#xE47;&#xE27;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Care for Brow Lift Scars After Surgery to Help Them Fade<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/brow-lift-scar-wound-care.webp\" alt=\"How to care for brow lift scars after surgery to help them fade\" class=\"wp-image-8234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/brow-lift-scar-wound-care.webp 1200w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/brow-lift-scar-wound-care-450x253.webp 450w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/brow-lift-scar-wound-care-1080x608.webp 1080w, https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/brow-lift-scar-wound-care-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caring for brow lift scars so they heal smoothly and fade takes discipline and the right self-care from the early period after surgery. This helps the scar heal well and lowers the chance of it becoming wide.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skin recovery in this area has key stages that need continuous attention, from keeping the wound clean in the first 7 days to applying silicone scar gel after the stitches are removed, to help the skin become smoother.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Clean and Care for the Wound in the First Week<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To clean a brow lift wound in the first 3 days, gently wipe away blood with a cotton ball soaked in sterile saline and squeezed out, then pat it dry straight away. Do not let tap water touch the wound directly, to stop bacteria building up around the stitches. Proper care lowers the chance of the wound staying moist, which can affect how the skin heals.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply a thin layer of the antiseptic ointment you were given with a clean cotton bud every morning and evening. Cold compresses around the eyes and forehead during the first 48 hours help reduce swelling around the wound. Avoid bending your head down low or lifting heavy objects in the first week, so your blood pressure does not rise and disturb the closing of the wound edges.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ways to Reduce Redness and Prevent Raised Scars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quick-drying silicone scar gel and silicone gel sheets are the main products that help control moisture and reduce excess collagen production in brow lift scars. After the stitches are removed, applying a product containing onion extract (Allium cepa) with mucopolysaccharide can help reduce redness and itching. Apply a thin layer 2 times a day, morning and evening.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the wound has dried completely in week 3, gently massaging the scar regularly helps prevent scar tissue sticking under the skin. If the scar starts to become raised, red and itchy, see your surgeon, who may consider scar-reducing silicone sheets to help stop the scar widening during the first 3 months.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Things to Avoid so the Wound Does Not Open<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving your face strongly and making big facial expressions in the early period are the main things that can pull on brow lift wounds and make them tear. Raising your brows, frowning or laughing widely directly affects a healing wound, so control the movement of your forehead muscles carefully for the first 14 days after surgery.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also avoid strenuous exercise and bending your head down low, as these raise your blood pressure and can make the wound open. Lifting heavy objects or straining makes the small blood vessels around the eyes and forehead widen, which raises the chance of blood oozing out and pushing the wound edges apart.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid sleeping face down or on your side in a way that rubs your face on the pillow, and do not pick or scratch the wound, to prevent infection. Gently clean the wound with a cotton ball soaked in saline and apply the ointment exactly as your surgeon prescribes, to help the wound close fully within the first 7 to 10 days.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE17;&#xE33;&#xE44;&#xE21;&#xE40;&#xE25;&#xE37;&#xE2D;&#xE01;&#xE22;&#xE01;&#xE04;&#xE34;&#xE49;&#xE27;&#xE14;&#xE49;&#xE27;&#xE22;&#xE40;&#xE17;&#xE04;&#xE19;&#xE34;&#xE04;&#xE02;&#xE2D;&#xE07;-s45-clinic\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Choose a Brow Lift Technique at S45 Clinic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S45 Clinic focuses on carefully hiding incisions in the hairline for a smooth result. This helps make the scars hard to notice so they blend in with the hairline.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use careful multi-layer stitching and place the incisions in hidden positions along the hairline to reduce tension. This helps lower the chance of raised scars and supports skin healing within 14 days after surgery.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Care by Experienced Surgeons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow lift surgery needs <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/specialist-doctor\/\">experienced surgeons who understand the nerves<\/a> and skin layers of the forehead, to lower the chance of injuring the important nerves that control brow movement.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Surgical Planning With an Individual Analysis of Your Facial Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow repositioning at S45 Clinic starts with a detailed analysis of the proportions of your upper face, to set the position and size of the brow lift incisions so they are hidden in a place that suits your skin. The surgeon measures the distance from the upper eyelid margin to the brow line and assesses the elasticity of your forehead skin, to judge how much to lift. These measurements are taken in millimetres before surgery begins.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because skin thickness and the shape of the eye socket bones differ from person to person, the direction of the lift needs to be designed individually. This anatomical assessment helps avoid the important nerves at the temples and forehead, so the scars are small and heal in line with the skin&#8217;s normal cycle.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Endoscopic Brow Lift With Endotine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An endoscopic brow lift with Endotine devices holds the skin firmly in its new position without cutting away a wide area of excess skin, lifting from the deeper layers. This small device spreads the pulling force evenly and reduces tension on the outer stitches, so the brow lift incisions are very small and well hidden behind the hairline.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device dissolves on its own within 6 months, and the body forms new scar tissue that takes over the holding role. This helps lower the chance of a wide raised scar, and bruising usually lasts about 7 to 14 days, depending on each person, which can suit people with limited time to recover.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE04;&#xE33;&#xE16;&#xE32;&#xE21;&#xE17;&#xE35;&#xE48;&#xE1E;&#xE1A;&#xE1A;&#xE48;&#xE2D;&#xE22;&#xE40;&#xE01;&#xE35;&#xE48;&#xE22;&#xE27;&#xE01;&#xE31;&#xE1A;&#xE41;&#xE1C;&#xE25;&#xE22;&#xE01;&#xE04;&#xE34;&#xE49;&#xE27;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lift Scars<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Many Days Until Brow Lift Swelling Goes Down, and When Can I Wear Make-Up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swelling and bruising after brow lift surgery start to go down noticeably at 7 to 14 days. Swelling is usually at its worst in the first 3 days, which is a normal reaction of the body. After the first week, the swelling gradually goes down and the area settles into shape within about 1 to 3 months. You can wear make-up 3 days after surgery, depending on how much swelling and bruising you have.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will Brow Lift Scars Really Fade Until They Cannot Be Seen?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brow lift scars can fade over time until they are hard to notice. In general, the scar gradually changes colour to blend in with the surrounding skin. How long this takes differs from person to person, depending on your skin and how you care for yourself after surgery.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I Get Keloids Easily. Can I Have a Brow Lift?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People who tend to get <a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/treat-keloid\/\">keloid scars<\/a> easily can have brow lift surgery, because the face has good blood flow and low skin tension, so the chance of keloids is low. If you are worried about scarring, choosing a technique that hides the incision in the hairline or under the brow can help disguise it. The surgeon also closes the wound with fine stitching to reduce tension on the scar, and advises you to apply silicone gel scar products after the stitches are removed to help prevent raised scars.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Many Years Do Brow Lift Results Last?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s45clinic.com\/en\/endoscopic-brow-lift-how-long\/\">Brow lift results usually last about 5 to 10 years<\/a>, depending on your skin and how you care for yourself after surgery. The skin keeps ageing after surgery. Choosing a suitable technique, such as Endotine devices, can give stronger support under the skin, which can help the brows stay in position longer than standard suture lifting.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"&#xE2A;&#xE23;&#xE38;&#xE1B;\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brow lift can help the upper face look brighter and more youthful. The surgeon can carefully place the brow lift incisions in hidden positions, such as behind the hairline or under the edge of the brow, so the scars are well disguised once the skin has fully healed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These small scars gradually fade and blend in with the surrounding skin within 3 to 6 months, with proper, regular care from the first week.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group s45-cta\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Because every face shape&#8230;<br\/>is different<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s45-cta-lead wp-block-paragraph\">An otolaryngologist with subspecialty training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery <strong>assesses every case before treatment<\/strong> and gives advice based on your actual concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s45-cta-slogan wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReveal the beauty within you\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button s45-cta-line\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/page.line.me\/s45clinic.official\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chat with us on LINE<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"s45-cta-free wp-block-paragraph\">Message us online<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a class=\"s45-cta-tel\" href=\"tel:+6621252543\">Call us +66 2 125 2543<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s45-cta-clinic\"><a class=\"s45-cta-map\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/7cTTtDAiE7NVN4yZA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span><strong>S45 Clinic (Sukhumvit 33)<\/strong><em>Open daily 8:30am to 11:30pm.
