CORONAL BROW LIFT
A coronal brow lift, also known as a traditional brow lift or an open brow lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to raise and tighten the sagging or drooping eyebrows and forehead skin. This is considered a gold standard technique that is used to address the signs of aging in the upper part of the face, particularly the forehead, eyebrows, and the area around the eyes.
CORONAL BROW LIFT SURGICAL PROCEDURE
Dr Sandeep and his team are well-versed in a variety of surgical techniques designed to rejuvenate and enhance the upper face and eyes. Here is a detailed explanation of the procedure:
PREOPERATIVE CONSULTATION
Before embarking on the surgical journey, Dr Sandeep and his team invest time in a thorough consultation with each client. They review medical history, discuss aesthetic goals, and outline the risks and benefits of the procedure. Their meticulous attention to detail ensures that clients are well-informed and comfortable with their decision to proceed.
MEDICAL HISTORY REVIEW
The team reviews your medical history to ensure they are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
INFORMED CONSENT
Risks, benefits, and alternatives are discussed in detail with the client, and written informed consent is obtained.
PREOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Detailed guidelines are provided to the client to prepare them for surgery.
ANESTHESIA AND SAFETY
Client safety is paramount for Dr Sandeep and his team. Depending on the client’s needs and the extent of the procedure, local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is administered.
The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia, administered by a board-certified anaesthetist. The surgical suite that out team uses is equipped with the latest technology to monitor client vitals and ensure a safe surgical environment.
INCISION PLANNING
In a coronal brow lift, an incision is made across the top of the head, running from ear to ear, hidden within the hairline.
MUSCLE AND TISSUE ADJUSTMENT
During the coronal lift, Dr Sandeep carefully lifts the forehead skin and the underlying muscles. The underlying frontalis muscles are tightened to achieve a more youthful and elevated appearance. This can help reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging eyebrows.
SKIN REDRAPING
The skin is then redraped, and any excess skin is removed. By lifting the brow area, the eyes may appear more open and refreshed, and the forehead may appear smoother and more youthful.
IMMEDIATE AFTERCARE
Following the surgery, clients are closely monitored in a dedicated recovery room.
SUTURE PLACEMENT
The incision is closed with sutures and staples, which are designed to lie within the hairline.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Dr Sandeep and his team provide comprehensive postoperative instructions and are readily available for any queries or concerns. Their commitment to client care extends well beyond the operating room, making sure that the recovery process is as smooth as possible.
POSTOPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Guidelines for cleaning the incision, managing discomfort, and other post-surgical care are provided.
FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS
Scheduled meetings with Dr Sandeep and his team are arranged to monitor healing and remove sutures.
RESULTS

With a blend of skill, compassion, and scientific understanding, Dr Sandeep and his team provide a memorable experience for those seeking facial rejuvenation through a coronal brow lift.
ADVANTAGE OF CORONAL BROW LIFT
Dr Sandeep and his team often discuss the numerous advantages of a coronal brow lift with prospective clients. They believe that an informed client is a satisfied client, and they take great care to explain the benefits of this procedure.
NATURAL AND LONG-LASTING RESULTS
This technique provides a more natural lift to the forehead and eyebrows.
One of the most compelling advantages of the gold standard coronal brow lift is the longevity of the results. Dr Sandeep’s precise surgical technique ensures that the lifted brow and smoothed forehead can last for many years, providing a youthful and refreshed appearance over an extended period.
COMPREHENSIVE LIFTING
The coronal brow lift is known for its ability to achieve a comprehensive lift of the entire forehead and brow region. Dr Sandeep’s expertise allows him to adjust the height and contour of the brow, creating a more harmonious and balanced facial appearance to meet your specific aesthetic desires.
REDUCTION OF WRINKLES AND FROWN LINES
The procedure is highly effective in reducing or eliminating forehead wrinkles and frown lines. Through careful manipulation of the skin and underlying tissue, Dr Sandeep and his team can create a smoother, more youthful-looking forehead.
HIDDEN INCISIONS
The incision for a coronal brow lift is strategically placed within the hairline, making it less visible once healed. Dr Sandeep’s skill in suturing ensures minimal scarring, which is usually well-concealed by the client’s hair.
COMBINATION PROCEDURES
It can be easily combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like eyelid surgery or facelifts.
IMPROVED FACIAL SYMMETRY
By adjusting the position of the brows, Dr Sandeep can improve facial symmetry, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the face. This not only boosts the client’s appearance but often also contributes to increased self-confidence.
CUSTOMISATION
Given the comprehensive nature of the consultation process, Dr Sandeep and his team can tailor the coronal brow lift to meet individual aesthetic goals. Whether the client desires a subtle lift or a more dramatic change, the procedure can be customised accordingly.
SAFETY
The surgical suite that we use is equipped with modern technology to ensure client safety. With a board-certified anaesthetist on hand, the procedure is conducted with the highest standards of care.
In summary, the coronal brow lift offers a range of advantages that contribute to its popularity among Dr Sandeep’s clients. Through skilled surgical technique and meticulous planning, Dr Sandeep and his team provide exceptional results, enhancing both appearance and quality of life.
Over the years, various minimally invasive or endoscopic techniques have become more popular for brow lifts, which can offer some advantages such as smaller incisions and potentially shorter recovery times. However, the appropriateness of the specific procedure will depend on individual factors and the recommendation of our team. In some clients the Coronal brow lift offers the best results tailored to your needs.
POTENTIAL DISADVANTAGES AND RISKS OF CORONAL BROW LIFT
While a coronal brow lift can produce positive results for some clients, it is essential to consider the potential complications and risks associated with this surgical procedure. The team at our clinic takes all necessary precautions to mitigate these risks, including conducting the procedure in a contemporary surgical suite and using only board-certified anaesthetists.
NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE
Clients with certain medical conditions or those who are not in good general health may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.
Patients with a high forehead or receding hairline may not be suitable candidates for this technique.
LONGER RECOVERY PERIOD
As compared to some other methods, due to the longer incisions used in this technique recovery may take up to a few weeks. During this time, clients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Physical activity may also be restricted during the healing process. Dr Sandeep and his team provide comprehensive postoperative care to help manage any discomfort and expedite the healing process.
SCARRING
The coronal brow lift requires a long incision, which can result in visible scarring, especially for clients with thin or fine hair. Though the incision is strategically placed within the hairline to minimise visibility, it may still be noticeable in some cases. Some clients may develop thick or raised scars along the incision line. Dr Sandeep’s expertise in suturing minimises this risk, but it’s important for clients to be aware that some level of scarring is possible.
NERVE INJURY
After the procedure, clients may experience temporary numbness or discomfort along the incision line or forehead and scalp. Although these sensations usually improve over time, some clients may have prolonged or permanent changes in sensation. Dr Sandeep and his team monitor this closely during the postoperative period and provide guidance on managing any altered sensations.
Rarely the temporal branch of the facial nerve that helps to move the frontalis muscle may be injured leading to temporary or permanent inability to raise the eyebrow.
HAIR LOSS
The incision made during the surgery may disrupt hair follicles, leading to some hair loss along the incision line. Although this is generally temporary, for some individuals it could be a more lasting issue and rarely it may be permanent. Dr Sandeep discusses this possibility thoroughly during the consultation phase.
CHANGES IN HAIRLINE
In some cases, the brow lift may lead to changes in the position of the hairline, which may be a concern for some clients.
RISK OF OVERCORRECTION
While Dr Sandeep’s expertise minimises this risk, there is always the potential for overcorrection, leading to a “surprised” or unnatural appearance. This is why the initial consultation is so critical, to ensure the client’s aesthetic goals are clearly understood and achievable.
EYEBROW ASYMMETRY
Although the goal of the surgery is to create balanced results, there is a risk of slight eyebrow asymmetry, where one eyebrow may sit slightly higher or lower than the other.
UNSATISFACTORY RESULTS
As with any cosmetic procedure, there is no guarantee of specific results. Some clients may not achieve the desired outcome or may be dissatisfied with the overall results of the surgery.
RISK OF INFECTION
Like any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection at the incision site, which may require further treatment and delay the healing process.
BLEEDING AND BLOOD CLOT FORMATION (HAEMATOMA)
The scalp skin is richly supped with blood vessels, this increases the risk of bleeding and clot formation after surgery, rarely the clot may need to be evacuated.
Dr Sandeep and his team are committed to client education and ensure that both the advantages and disadvantages of a coronal brow lift are discussed in depth. This balanced approach allows clients to make an informed decision, aligned with their aesthetic goals and personal circumstances.
