This procedure involves raising the eyebrows and underlying muscles, to smooth the forehead, minimise frown lines and correct abnormally low eyebrows to their original position. The incision usually starts at the ear level, runs across the top of the forehead (hidden behind the hairline) and then back down the other side. Once the incision has been made and the underlying tissue has been removed the brow will be lifted and the excess skin at the incision removed. The wound is sutured or stapled closed. This procedure may also slightly stretch the upper eyelids, resulting in a younger appearance

You may experience some discomfort, which can be treated with pain medication. Each individual is different; you may have no discomfort other than a feeling of tightness.

The most common risks are swelling, bruising, infection, scarring, bleeding and numbness or change in sensation due to nerve damage. Although you may experience a change in sensation or numbness this is usually temporary and gradually subsides over the following 12 months after procedure. If you have fine hair or thin hair the scar may be more visible. Hair does not grow through the scar tissue although if necessary there is a very reliable procedure to correct this later via a hair transplant.
