Brow pexy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to elevate and stabilize the brow, enhancing the upper face's appearance and correcting issues like brow droopiness. It’s often combined with procedures such as blepharoplasty to achieve a more harmonious and youthful look.

What to Expect During the Procedure
Brow pexy is often performed under local anesthesia. Here's an overview:
Marking and Planning: The surgeon marks the brow position to determine where to place sutures.
Incisions are made within the upper eyelid crease (if combined with blepharoplasty) or a small Incision directly above the eyebrow if it is external browpexy, to minimise visible scars.
Suturing: The brow is gently lifted and secured using sutures to achieve the desired elevation and stability.
Closure: Incisions are closed, and the procedure is complete.
The surgery typically takes less than an hour, depending on whether it is combined with other procedures.
