The surgery is performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the individual case and the level of the surgery, as discussed prior to the procedure. During the brow lift, a long incision is made in front of or behind the hairline. Once it is healed, the incision becomes almost invisible as the scar is covered by the hair. The goal of the surgery is to remove and correct some of the muscles that make wrinkles form, to remove excess skin, lift the eyebrows, and lift the skin and attach it to the bone. After the surgery, the surgeon stitches up the incisions with dissolvable thread.
