Eyebrow lift can be performed both surgically and without surgery. Surgical methods are eyebrow sling, endoscopic method and classical eyebrow lift methods. Non-surgical methods are in the form of botox and ultherapy.
Ultherapy method provides to tighten the skin and regenerate sufficiently with high intensity ultrasound energy. Ultherapy method is a simple but effective method that can be applied before or after eyebrow lift surgery.
Eyebrow sling, one of the surgical methods, is a procedure performed under local anesthesia. The disadvantage of this method is that the desired effect does not last long and the eyebrow returns to its original state after a while.
Endoscopic eyebrow surgery is a procedure performed without incision and scar. The classical eyebrow lifting method is to remove the scalp starting from the temple of the person and to perform the stretching procedure.
Hanging With Thread
Hanging With Thread is an easy and reliable procedure that can be applied to many areas. It can be counted among non-surgical procedures. The rope hanging method is made by means of special threads placed under the skin. The process can be explained by pulling up the sagging face oval with these threads. It can be applied not only to the face but also to a specific area such as the eyebrow. The threads used in the eyebrow lifting method are generally fishbone or suspension sutures. With the help of these materials, the tissues under the skin are attached in the form of a hanger and the eyebrow is made to appear higher. No incision is made during the procedure.

Classical Eyebrow Lift Surgery
The traditional eyebrow lift procedures are one of the effective and permanent methods that have been applied for many years. In the classical lifting method, the doctor makes a larger incision compared to the endoscopic method. The incision starts at the ear level and goes around the hairline without interruption. The excess skin tissue is removed from this long incision and thus the eyebrows are lifted. However, there is also a decrease in the forehead lines. The region generally gets tense.
Endoscopic Applications
This application is newer and more technological than the classical method. It offers more advantages for the patient. For endoscopic lift, the surgeon makes multiple short incisions in the scalp. A thin tube instrument with a small camera at the tip is inserted into one of the incisions. And it uses another device inserted into another incision to make the necessary changes.
In the endoscopic brow lift method, small anchors are used to strengthen the surgical tissue. Because the incisions are smaller, this procedure provides a quicker recovery than conventional removal. It has advantages such as minimal scarring and shorter recovery time.
