Brow Lift in Turkey (Eyebrow Lifting)

What is Brow Lift Surgery?

Brow lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that aims to rejuvenate the position of the eyebrows and forehead. Also known as browplasty, its main goal is to correct sagging or drooping eyebrows and forehead skin.

What Leads to Drooping Eyebrows?

Brow ptosis is the technical medical name given to progressive eyebrow skin sagginess. Diagnosing its cause is key to determine the best possible solution. Here are the main causes behind drooping eyebrows:

• Aging: The natural aging process can cause the skin and muscles of the forehead and eyebrows to lose elasticity and sag, resulting in drooping eyebrows.
• Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to have lower-set eyebrows, this can result in a drooping appearance.
• Sun exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause damage to the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, leading to skin laxity and drooping eyebrows.
• Lifestyle factors: smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of proper skincare can contribute to premature aging of the skin around the eyebrows.

What is Best for You? 4 Types of Brow lift in Turkey

Correcting eyebrow ptosis can be performed using different surgical methods. The different techniques address different problems and lead to better results depending on your case and concerns. There is no best option in all cases. The decision to choose one method over another is yours and your surgeon will give you in-depth information after conducting a medical evaluation. 

To give you a brief insight, here are the 4 main types of eyebrow lift in Turkey and when they work best:

• Classic or Coronal Brow Lift
• Endoscopic Brow Lift
• Temporal or Limited Incision Brow Lift
• Mid-Forehead Brow Lift

What is a Classic or Coronal Brow Lift?

The traditional approach to brow lift surgery involves making an incision across the scalp behind the hairline, from ear to ear. This allows for significant lifting of the brow and can address more severe brow drooping

What is an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

This less invasive approach uses an endoscope to visualize and lift the brow and forehead through several small incisions made within the hairline. It is best suitable for patients with mild to moderate brow drooping.

What is a Temporal or Limited Incision Brow Lift?

The mini brow lift technique involves making small incisions at the temples, which are hidden within the hairline. This approach is typically best for patients who have minimal brow drooping or who need more focused correction in the outer part of the eyebrows.

What is a Mid-Forehead Brow Lift?

A mid-forehead brow lift in Turkey involves making an incision across the mid-forehead and lifting and repositioning the brows from a more central location. It is a less commonly used approach and may be best suitable for select patients with specific brow anatomy.

Are you Eligible for Brow Lift Surgery in Turkey?

Brow lifting is generally considered a straightforward, seamless surgery, but this doesn’t mean everyone is suitable. For your own personal safety, you may be asked to meet a series of medical criteria to ensure that surgery is not contraindicated. Must-meet criteria for a brow lift in Turkey may include some or all of the following:

• Medical Condition: You should not have any uncontrolled conditions that could increase risks or affect healing. For example, type-2 diabetes or reaction to anesthesia.
• Medication: Certain medication can endanger the process and are strictly contraindicated. These are usually blood thinners, such as aspirins.
• Stable weight: Significant fluctuations in weight after brow lift surgery can affect the results and potentially compromise the outcome.
• Can temporarily quit smoking: Smoking increases the risks and can impair the healing process. You may be required to quit smoking for a period of time before and after surgery.
• Have adequate time for recovery: You should have adequate time for recovery, as brow lift surgery involves a period of downtime and restrictions on activities.
