Saggy eyebrows often make us look older. Besides not liking your sunken eyebrows, you may also have physical complaints such as limited vision or pressure. By lifting your eyebrows, you can reduce muscle tension and the pressure on your eyelids. Sunken eyebrows can be lifted in two ways; with surgery or with muscle relaxants.
Eyebrow lift
By lifting your eyebrows, you can lift your overall look, reduce muscle tension and
the pressure on your eyelids.
What happens during eyebrow lift surgery?
There are a number of possibilities to achieve the desired effect with surgery:
- The surgeon can choose to remove skin above the eyebrows or at the hairline of the temples. With this procedure you can go home after just a few hours.
- It is also possible to have the eyebrows lifted with threads, this lift will stay in place for about one year.
- You can also opt for a combination with an eyelid correction, in which case the eyebrow can be lifted with an internal lift through a subcutaneous suture.
Eyebrow lift with muscle relaxants
This lift is suitable for eyebrows that need to be lifted a few millimetres. The doctor places a few small pricks with muscle relaxants above the eyebrow, which lifts the eyebrow a few millimetres. See our page on muscle relaxants for more information. This way is the least invasive. After this eyebrow lift you will immediately see the result and you do not need any recovery time.
A no-obligation consultation with the surgeon is necessary to see which solution best suits your wishes and expectations.
Preparation for an eyebrow lift
Our care team will not only help you with the preparations and during your intake interview with the surgeon, but will also guide you after the surgery, so that you know what to expect and heal as well and as quickly as possible. You will receive a document with patient information and national advice well in advance. The surgeon and the care team will also give you advice that is specific to you.
The will get the best result by taking the following advice into account:
Before the surgery
- Stop smoking four weeks before the surgery
- Start taking Arnica drops two weeks in advance to reduce bruising and swelling.
- If you are taking medication such as Marcoumar, Sintrom/Sintrommitis or Asprocardio, consult your surgeon, the same applies to Aspirin or painkillers with aspirin such as Advil, Diclofenac and others.
- Do not use blood thinning medication before surgery.
- Don’t forget to arrange transportation home. Driving yourself after the surgery is not allowed.
- Arrange for someone to help you in your home for the first few days.
- If you wear lenses, make sure you have glasses with the right correction for the period after the surgery.
The day of the surgery
- Take a shower, after the surgery you may not shower for 24 hours. Use no make-up or facial cream
- Do not wear jewellery or watches
- Bring sunglasses to protect your eyes from direct sunlight after surgery
After surgery
- Make sure you are not alone at home.
- Don’t forget to ensure for 24 hours proper cooling with a cold compress (tip: freeze some bags of peas, which you can use to cool). swellings are completely gone after 12 weeks.
- Rest preferably lying on your back so the swelling goes down faster.
- Keep the blood circulation active by taking walking about every hour. This promotes the healing of the wound.
- A shower is possible only 24 hours after the correction, and make sure the area of the procedure remains as dry as possible.
- Working can be resumed after a week, but only if it requires no more than moderate to light physical exertion.
- After a week you can move normally again and gently take a walk and ride a bicycle.
- Wait two weeks before using eye make-up
- For the first three weeks after the eyelid correction, make sure that you do not push, lift and bend.
- Contact lenses can be worn again after about three weeks.
- Exercising is allowed six weeks after surgery.
- Do not drive the first period yourself. You can ask your insurer whether or not you are insured after the surgery as a driver.
- Avoid direct sunshine on your wounds for the first months. So no sun or sunbed. Don’t forget to cover them properly when you’re planning on enjoying the sun with the rest of your body.
