Elevation of the tail of the brows

This is a procedure that can be carried out on its own or in conjunction with any of the operations mentioned previously.

Indications: This operation is indicated when, due to this lowering of the tail of the brows, the face acquires a permanently sad and fatigued look. The sides of the forehead are also involved in this operation as this reduces the ageing sensation.

Procedure: Two methods can be used: One is the undermining of the skin of the sides of the forehead and the external angles of the brows in a deep plane and their elevation and fixation by means of a small biodegradable implant (Endotime Lift). The other procedure, much simpler, economical, and of quick recovery, is the external fixation with special threads.

Surgical elevation: This procedure consists of a small scar, hidden by the hair. There is undermining of the skin of the sides of the forehead until reaching the brows. A small biodegradable implant of Vicryl is placed on the bones of the skull (Endotime Lift). This implant keeps the tissues fixed and gives the necessary fibrosis, thus prolonging the effect of the operation.

Anaesthesia: I generally use local anaesthesia, following sedation, so that the patient can return home after a short period of rest.

Sutures: These are removed after 7 days and the scar is imperceptible.

Recovery: 7 days approximately.
