Upper-face rejuvenation
A brow lift addresses brow descent, upper-eyelid hooding caused by brow position and heaviness across the forehead. It cannot guarantee identical brow height, eliminate every forehead line or prevent future ageing. The aim is an improved brow position that preserves natural expression and individual asymmetry.
Depending on anatomy, hairline, forehead height and the area requiring correction, an endoscopic, temporal or other brow-lift approach may be considered. Upper blepharoplasty is assessed separately because eyelid-skin removal does not correct every case of brow descent.
Candidates should have health that permits elective surgery and realistic expectations about symmetry, scar location and the possible degree of lift. A high hairline, previous forehead surgery, hair loss, smoking and certain medical conditions may affect technique or suitability. Photographs and video allow a preliminary virtual assessment, but final planning requires in-person examination of brow movement, facial-nerve function, hairline and eyelid relationship.
Early recovery may include swelling, bruising, tightness, scalp numbness and altered brow movement. Incisions and fixation depend on the selected technique, and contour settles gradually over the following weeks. International patients should arrive before surgery for examination and testing and generally remain in Yerevan for approximately 7–10 days. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, visible scars, hair loss around an incision, asymmetry, sensory changes and temporary or lasting weakness of facial-nerve branches.
Send relaxed front, side and upward-gaze photographs together with information about previous eyelid or brow surgery, injectable treatments and the changes you would like to discuss. Relevant brow-lift and combined upper-face cases can also be reviewed in the Before & After gallery.
