Direct Browlift (Eyebrow Lift Aesthetics) What is it?

Direct Browlift is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed to raise the eyebrows to a higher position than their natural position. This procedure is preferred to remove sagging eyebrows, to achieve a younger appearance and to clarify facial contours. Brow lift is usually applied to correct the tired appearance caused by the eyebrows falling downwards with age. Direct Browlift provides a natural aesthetic result by directly lifting the eyebrows.

Direct Browlift How is it done?

Direct Browlift is a surgery usually performed under local anaesthesia. The procedure is carried out in the following steps:

  • Trace Location and Incisions: The surgeon makes a small incision along a natural line at the top of the eyebrow. This incision is used to raise the location of the eyebrow.
  • Raising the Eyebrow The eyebrows are lifted upwards by intervening in the muscle tissue under the skin.
  • Excess Skin and Adipose Tissue: Excess skin and fatty tissue can be removed to improve the natural position of the eyebrows.
  • Stitches After the surgical procedure, the incisions made are sutured in the natural curve of the eyebrow and the healing process begins.
