The eyebrows are one of the elements of the eye frame – a slightly raised line emphasizes them nicely. Strong facial expressions, the passage of time and everyday stress adversely affect this area of ​​the face. Surgical eyebrow lifting will help to reduce the feeling of tired face caused by wrinkles on the forehead. After the treatment, the face seems younger and more cheerful, and the look is brighter and definitely more open. The end result lasts a long time and the whole face looks much more attractive. The treatment is aimed at, among other things, lifting the eyebrow line and general reduction of forehead wrinkles. The eyebrow lift partially corrects the wrinkles of the upper eyelids and the skin fold of the eyelid.

A specialist in plastic surgery qualifies the Patient for the eyebrow lift procedure. During the consultation, he conducts an examination and a medical interview, discusses the expectations, the course of the procedure and the scope of postoperative care. In addition, during such a visit, the date of the operation and the scope of additional tests to be performed by the patient are established. As standard, these are:

• bleeding and blood clotting time (coagulation system),
• morphology with smear,
• blood group,
• creatinine,
• anti HBs, anti HCV,
• ionogram,
• total urine,
• fasting glucose
• EKG.

The eyebrow lifting operation at the Medical Clinic Podhale Art in Zakopane lasts about 2 hours and is performed under full anesthesia. Lifting the eyebrow most often consists in making incisions in the temporal area, in the area of ​​the hairy skin and preparing the skin deep under the cap, up to the edge of the eye socket, then the lateral temporal ligament is released, which allows the side part of the eyebrow to be lifted upwards. The skin is stretched and shortened – it is sutured at the site of the original incision. Scars resulting from the treatment are hidden under the hair, so that they are practically invisible.

The advantages of the procedure include short duration, no need for hospitalization and a quick return to normal functioning.

As with any surgical procedure, there are also some contraindications, including the following:

• pregnancy and lactation,
• menstruation,
• infections,
• unregulated diabetes,
• blood clotting problems.

• One month before the operation, you should give up smoking to avoid the risk of healing disorders or potential infection.
• 2 weeks before the procedure, you should not take medications containing salicylic acid (anti-inflammatory and analgesic, eg Aspirin, Polopyrin), Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, etc. They prolong blood clotting, which increases the risk of bleeding during the procedure. You cannot use other preparations that affect blood clotting (e.g. garlic or herbs such as St. John’s wort, chamomile).
• 3 days before the procedure, alcohol should be discontinued.
• Face tanning is contraindicated 14 days before the procedure.
• Do not use makeup on the day of the treatment (no foundation, mascara or creams).

Swelling and bruising of the skin should not last longer than 2 weeks. We will see the full eyebrow lifting effect 2 months after the surgery. The sutures after the eyebrow lift procedure are removed after about 10 days. For a month after the procedure, you should lead a calm lifestyle, avoid the sauna and swimming pool, intense physical exertion and follow all the doctor’s instructions. You cannot tan your face either. The patient usually stays in the clinic for one day.
