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 Is Brow Pexy?
Brow pexy focuses on lifting the brow to its natural position without the need for a full brow lift. The procedure involves securing the brow using sutures to elevate it subtly, improving symmetry and creating a refreshed appearance.
Who Is a Candidate for Brow Pexy?
You may be a good candidate if you experience:
Mild to moderate brow droopiness (ptosis).
A tired or sad appearance due to a low or uneven brow position.
Desire for improvement without the invasiveness of a full brow lift.
Interest in combining the procedure with eyelid surgery for optimal results.
Benefits of Brow Pexy
Minimally Invasive: Less downtime compared to traditional brow lifts.
Natural Results: Restores the brow’s youthful position without overcorrection.
Versatility: Can be performed alone or in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
Quick Recovery: Patients typically experience minimal swelling and bruising.
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.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising, which subsides within a week.
You can resume normal activities within a few days, although strenuous activities should be avoided for 1-2 weeks.
Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and optimal results.
