Introduction
Both eyebrow excision and eyebrow lifting procedures can improve the shape of the eyebrows and address issues of periorbital skin laxity. For mild cases of ptosis and skin laxity, fascia lifting is generally not required. However, for severe ptosis or significant skin laxity, fascia lifting is often necessary to provide better support to the skin and improve skin laxity. It is recommended to consult a physician beforehand and choose a qualified,正规 hospital to perform the procedure.
Generally speaking, eyebrow excision refers to an eyebrow excision surgery, which changes the eyebrow shape by partially removing the eyebrows and surrounding skin. The usual reference price for eyebrow excision surgery is 3000-8000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally seen within 1-2 weeks. This procedure may be accompanied by symptoms such as localized swelling and pain. Eyebrow lifting refers to an eyebrow lifting surgery, which alters the eyebrow shape by removing part of the skin either above or below the eyebrows. The usual reference price for eyebrow lifting surgery is 4000-6000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally seen within 7-15 days. This procedure may also be accompanied by symptoms such as swelling and localized pain. Whether both eyebrow excision and eyebrow lifting surgeries require a fascia lift mainly depends on the severity of eyebrow drooping and skin laxity. If symptoms are mild and do not affect aesthetics, a fascia lift may not be necessary. However, if symptoms are severe and impact aesthetics, a fascia lift might be needed. Detailed analysis is as follows:
If the eyebrow drooping is relatively mild, with shallow wrinkles around the eyes and not severe skin laxity, eyebrow excision or lifting surgery alone usually can achieve ideal results, changing the shape of the eyebrows to achieve the desired contouring effect. In such cases, a fascia lift is often unnecessary to avoid increasing surgical risks.
If the eyebrow drooping is relatively severe, with deep wrinkles around the eyes and significant skin laxity, undergoing only eyebrow lifting or excision surgery alone may not yield satisfactory results. In such cases, a fascia lift is often required under a doctor's guidance. This can support the skin, improve skin laxity and aging, and benefit postoperative recovery.
Prior to undergoing eyebrow excision or lifting surgery, it is recommended to first consult with a doctor and choose an appropriate method to ensure safety and effectiveness. Postoperatively, attention should be paid to local care, avoiding frequent touching with hands and premature contact with water.
