Brow Lift Perth

In recent years, eyebrows have gained significant attention in the realm of facial aesthetics. They play a role in framing the eyes and contributing to facial structure.

When eyebrows naturally lower over time, they can give a more serious or tired expression. Additionally, the reduced skin elasticity can make the eyelids appear more hooded or heavy.

A Brow Lift is designed to elevate the eyebrows, addressing changes caused by reduced skin elasticity and contributing to the forehead and brow area’s overall appearance. In some cases, what may be perceived as heaviness in the eyelids can be related to eyebrow positioning.

For optimal results, Brow Lifts are frequently performed in conjunction with Blepharoplasty, a procedure that corrects eyelid issues.

Types of Brow Lift

At Absolute Cosmetic, we offer a variety of brow lift options to cater to diverse patient needs and preferences. Our range of procedures includes the Wrinkle Relaxer Brow Lift, Temporal Brow Lift, Threads to the Forehead, and The Transpalpebral Lift. When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Murray will thoroughly assess your specific concerns and discuss your desired outcomes. Based on this evaluation, he will recommend the most suitable type of brow lift for you.

Often, we suggest incorporating Wrinkle Relaxers as a complementary treatment to enhance and prolong the effects of the brow lift. This combination approach is designed to support longer-lasting results from your brow lift.

See All Before & After

Temporal Brow Lift

The Temporal Brow Lift procedure specifically aims to lift the temporal area of the face, which includes elevating the tail of the eyebrow and addressing the lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet), the wrinkles that appear on the outer side of the eyes. To achieve this, a small incision is made along the hairline on each side. Incisions are strategically placed to minimise visible scarring, aiming for a more discreet outcome.

Threads to the Forehead

Closed thread lifts have seen significant advancements from their initial inception, which involved the use of brittle Russian threads, to the modern, absorbable threads used today. These contemporary threads are typically inserted using needles and are designed with barbs or similar structures to effectively hold and lift the skin on the forehead. Additionally, some threads are equipped with small cones or similar features that aid in grasping the dermis, providing an enhanced lifting effect. This evolution in thread lift technology has led to more durable options for those seeking a non-surgical approach.

Transpalpebral Lift

The procedure referred to as the Transpalpebral Browpexy is specifically designed to lift the outer brow. It is particularly suitable for individuals who experience a slight drooping at the tail end of their eyebrows. This technique can be effectively combined with eyelid surgery, known as Upper Blepharoplasty, for a more comprehensive facial uplift. This approach is designed to address both brow and eyelid concerns simultaneously.

Brow Lift cost

The cost of the Brow Lift in Perth will depend on the type of brow lift required. The Transpalpebral Lift is from $2,200, this procedure is an optional add-on to a blepharoplasty which is priced between $2,200 and $6,600. Threads to the Forehead is priced from $3,300. The Temporal Brow Lift starts from $4,400.

*Excluding theatre fee, post-surgical garments/creams, and post-operative medications. An all-inclusive fee will be discussed at the time of consultation with Dr Murray. For further details, kindly refer to the financial consent form. Please book a complimentary nurse consultation if you would like to discuss payment options in more detail.

Non-surgical Brow Lift alternative

Indeed, a subtle lift of the eyebrows can be accomplished using a Wrinkle Relaxer. The results obtained from a Wrinkle Relaxer Brow Lift are typically less dramatic and not as enduring as those from a surgical Brow Lift. Generally, the effects of a Wrinkle Relaxer last about 3-4 months. It’s worth noting, though, that because only a small dose is used to achieve the brow lift, some individuals may find that the duration of the effect is somewhat shorter. This non-surgical option is recommended for those seeking a more subtle enhancement and are comfortable with the need for periodic treatments to maintain the lift.

How The Brow Lift Procedure Works

Procedure Consultation

In accordance with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) protocol, it is a prerequisite to obtain a GP referral for all cosmetic surgical procedures before scheduling a consultation with Dr. Glenn Murray. Additionally, a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) questionnaire will need to be completed to assess your suitability for the procedure. To facilitate informed discussions and address any questions you may have, informational videos will be sent to your designated email prior to your meeting with Dr. Murray. Following a second consultation with a member of our clinical team, a mandatory 7-day cooling off period will commence. During this time, we strongly encourage you to seek further information and education regarding your desired procedure, as well as consider obtaining a second opinion. After the 7-day cooling off period, you are welcome to proceed with scheduling your procedure and embark on your Absolute Cosmetic journey.

Procedure Preperation

It is imperative to strictly avoid smoking, vaping, and illicit drug use before, during, and after the procedure. Nicotine consumption during the surgical process heightens the risk of complications, infection, delayed healing, or an unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome. Please note that we maintain a stringent cancellation policy for those who continue to smoke or vape. We advise all patients to cease smoking at least 2 weeks before the procedure and to abstain for 6 weeks following the procedure. Reducing nicotine intake does not diminish the risk of complications; the most substantial health benefit is derived from quitting smoking altogether. We highly recommend and encourage the use of nicotine cessation aids during this period. For more comprehensive information regarding potential complications and guidance on quitting smoking, please refer to this resource.

It is vital to note that if you have smoked within the last 2 weeks, the procedure will be canceled, and payment will not be refunded.

To ensure your readiness for the procedure, being in good health is essential. It’s crucial to avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, fish oil, green tea, and turmeric leading up to the procedure. Additionally, a blood test should be conducted at least 1 week before the scheduled procedure. A nurse will go through an extensive checklist to ensure that you are well prepared, via a pre-operative call before your procedure day.

The Procedure

On the day of the procedure, fasting is mandatory, meaning you should refrain from consuming food or water for 6 hours prior to your scheduled surgical start time. However, you may take a small sip of water in the morning to consume any pre-surgery medication if necessary. These precautions are taken to optimise the success of the procedure and minimise risks. All paperwork must be completed before the procedure and will be sighted and signed by your admitting surgical nurse.

The surgery is performed under neurolept sedation (rather than general anaesthesia) with local tumescent anaesthesia to make the area numb. This procedure is usually completed within 1-2 hours. Many patients will have the upper and lower eyelid surgery at the same time, and potentially other procedures such as Fat Transfer and Forehead Thread Lift. Expect to be drowsy after the procedure, this is a side effect of the sedation, but not in substantial discomfort.

Post Procedure

After your brow lift, you will be escorted to our recovery suite for further rest. It is essential that a responsible adult collects you and provides supervision for the first night. Should you experience any severe pain or significant swelling, it’s important to contact us immediately. At the time of your discharge, during the nurse’s handover to your designated caregiver, an urgent aftercare contact number will be provided. This is for you or your caregiver to use if urgent assistance is needed. The next day, our team will conduct a follow-up review and provide you with all necessary aftercare instructions, which you should adhere to closely for optimal recovery.

Risks and Recovery following a Brow Lift

Risks

Like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks and potential complications. Here are some of the potential risks associated with a surgical brow lift: Infection, scarring, nerve damage, eyebrow asymmetry, eye dryness or irritation, forehead numbness or tightness, or anesthesia risks to name a few.

It’s important to note that the likelihood of experiencing these risks varies from person to person and depends on factors such as surgical technique, individual health status, and adherence to post-operative instructions. Patients should thoroughly discuss their medical history, expectations, and concerns with our team of nurses and doctors at your consultations.

Recovery

Post-surgery, a minimum of 5 days of rest is crucial, during which time all strenuous activities should be avoided. Additionally, it is imperative to abstain from smoking entirely. If sutures are applied, they are typically removed on Day 7. Many patients find they can resume work around Day 8, although this timeline can vary based on the extent of swelling and bruising experienced. It’s important to remember that recovery times can differ significantly from one individual to another. Factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle choices play a role in influencing the pace and nature of your recovery process.

For the initial 2 weeks post-surgery, it’s advisable to avoid all forms of exercise, with the exception of walking. After this period, a gradual and cautious reintroduction of physical activity is recommended. Your nursing team will provide a comprehensive overview of your post-operative care on day 1, following the procedure. Adhering closely to these guidelines is essential for achieving optimal recovery. It’s important to follow their advice carefully to ensure a smooth and effective healing process.

An endoscopic eyebrow lift uses small incisions hidden within the hairline and specialised tools to lift the brow, resulting in minimal scarring. In contrast, a trichophytic brow lift involves an incision along the hairline, making it suitable for lifting the brow while simultaneously adjusting the position of the hairline. Your Doctor will recommend the most appropriate technique based on your unique goals and anatomy.

A lateral eyebrow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the outer portion of the eyebrows.

A lateral eyebrow lift is suitable for individuals looking to address excess skin or skin laxity in the outer brow region.

There is no specific age for an eyebrow lift, as suitability varies based on individual anatomy, skin laxity, and personal goals. This procedure is often considered by individuals who notice changes in the position of their brows or skin elasticity over time. A consultation with your Doctor will help determine if an eyebrow lift is the right option for you, regardless of your age.

Recovery after an eyebrow lift typically takes about 1–2 weeks for initial healing, during which swelling and bruising gradually subside. Most individuals feel comfortable resuming light activities within this time frame, but complete recovery may take a few weeks depending on the specific procedure and personal healing factors. Your Doctor will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to support your recovery.

Eyebrow lift procedures are designed to minimise visible scarring by carefully placing incisions in discreet locations, such as along the hairline or within natural skin folds. In most cases, scars are subtle and fade over time with proper care. However, healing and scarring can vary based on factors such as age, genetics, and medications.

To support the healing process and reduce scar visibility, Healite II LED light therapy is available. This treatment promotes skin repair, reduces redness, and enhances recovery. During a consultation, your Doctor can address your concerns and provide guidance on optimising your healing process.

The results of an eyebrow lift can last for several years, as the procedure provides long-term improvements in the position and appearance of the brows. However, natural aging will continue to affect the skin and underlying tissues over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following your Doctor’s post-operative care recommendations can help prolong the benefits of the procedure.

After an eyebrow lift, you may experience initial swelling, tightness, and mild bruising around the treated area.
