As we age, the skin around our eyes and forehead can begin to sag, making us appear tired or older than we feel. A common solution for sagging eyebrows is brow surgery, but not everyone needs or wants a full brow lift. This is where Browpexy comes in— a less invasive option that lifts and rejuvenates the eyebrows for a more youthful and refreshed look.
Browpexy is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the position of the eyebrows. It is often referred to as a mini brow lift because it focuses specifically on lifting the eyebrows, rather than addressing the entire forehead. Unlike a traditional brow lift, which can involve larger incisions and adjustments to the forehead, Browpexy uses smaller incisions to subtly lift the eyebrows to a more youthful position.
Browpexy can also be performed in combination with other procedures, such as blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery), to improve the overall appearance of the upper face. It can help reduce drooping around the outer brow area and improve the balance between the eyelids and eyebrows, making the face appear more alert and refreshed.
There are two main types of Browpexy:
Both procedures are designed to be minimally invasive, providing effective results with minimal recovery time.
During a Browpexy procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions above the eyebrow or along the eyelid to access the underlying tissue. Using either internal sutures or an implant, the surgeon will elevate the eyebrow to a slightly higher position, giving it a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. In cases where a blepharoplasty is also performed, the same incision may be used, meaning there are no additional scars from the Browpexy.
While both Browpexy and a brow lift aim to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper face, they differ in scope and technique.
If you’re primarily concerned about drooping eyebrows and not the entire forehead area, Browpexy may be the ideal solution for you.
One of the key advantages of Browpexy is its short recovery time. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising around the eyes, which typically subsides within 1 to 2 weeks. A tight or uncomfortable sensation may occur, but this generally fades over the course of 2 months as the area heals.
You may be advised to take 1 week off work and avoid strenuous physical activities for up to 4 weeks to ensure proper healing.
Final results may take several months to fully develop as swelling goes down, but many patients begin to see improvements within the first few weeks. The results typically last 2 to 5 years, depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and lifestyle habits.
Browpexy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that lifts the eyebrows to a more youthful position using small incisions and internal sutures or an implant. It is a less invasive option compared to a full brow lift.
Ideal candidates are individuals who have mild to moderate drooping of the eyebrows, particularly the outer brow area. It is also suitable for those who do not want the larger scars associated with a traditional brow lift. Browpexy is often combined with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) for optimal results.
Browpexy offers a subtle, natural lift to the eyebrows with minimal scarring and a quick recovery time. It can be performed alongside other procedures, such as blepharoplasty, for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
A Browpexy focuses on lifting the eyebrows only and does not address forehead wrinkles or excess skin, making it a quicker and less invasive procedure than a full brow lift. A Brow Lift addresses both the forehead and eyebrows and may involve the removal of excess skin.
The recovery time for Browpexy is generally shorter than a full brow lift. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, though it may take a few weeks for swelling and bruising to fully subside.
Browpexy is typically performed under local anesthesia. However, if other procedures are performed alongside it, such as blepharoplasty, general anesthesia may be used.
