About Treatment
Eyebrow lifting is a plastic surgery that allows you to significantly rejuvenate a person's face and give it new, more expressive outlines. With the help of the procedure, surgeon removes the wrinkles of the forehead and the palpebral fissure, and also makes the look more open.
How is the operation performed?
Plastic Surgeons use different surgical techniques depending on the specifics of a particular case:
temporal eyebrow lift (lifting) - a skin incision is performed in the area of the hairy part of the temples. Surgeon tightens the skin, making it smooth and improving patient's appearance;
direct brow lift - the incision is made along the hairline. Further, doctor conducts skin correction and prevention of scar formation. The method is suitable for patients suffering from narrowing of the visual fields;
endoscopic eyebrow lifting is a minimally invasive variant of the operation, when surgeon does not make traditional incisions, but performs manipulations under the control of a miniature video camera.
The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the level of complexity and patient preference. The average duration of the procedure is 1 hour.

decompensated diabetes mellitus;
general serious condition of patient;
diseases of the cardiovascular system in the stage of decompensation.
