The Direct Brow Lift, or direct skin excision browpexy, is a definitive surgical procedure that addresses the descent of the forehead tissues. Technically, the procedure involves the excision of a crescent-shaped segment of skin and subcutaneous tissue directly above the eyebrow hairs. By targetting the area immediately adjacent to the brow, the surgeon has unparalleled control over the final height and shape of the brow arch. This is particularly effective for correcting brow ptosis and marked asymmetry.

During the surgery, care is taken to avoid the supraorbital nerve to preserve forehead sensation. The surgeon may also address the underlying frontalis muscle or the corrugator supercilii (frown muscles) to soften deep furrows.

The incision is meticulously closed along the upper border of the brow hair, often utilising a beveled or trichophytic incision technique to allow hairs to grow through the scar, making it virtually imperceptible in patients with thick brow hair. This direct approach provides a more stable and predictable lift compared to internal or 'blind' lifting techniques. At Kinvara you can also read about deep plane facelift, upper eyelid lift and mini facelift.

The benefits of this procedure include:

• Provides the most significant and predictable lift for severely drooping or 'heavy' eyebrows.
• Unparalleled ability to correct brow asymmetry, allowing for individual height adjustment of each side.
• Significantly improves functional vision by removing heavy tissue that hoods the upper eyelids.
• The preferred choice for patients with receding hairlines, as it avoids scalp or hairline incisions.
• Immediate rejuvenation of the upper face, creating a more alert, youthful, and approachable expression.
