Eyebrow LIft Surgery

The objective of this type of procedure is to lift the eyebrows, that is, it is a cosmetic surgery procedure through which the eyebrow is paced in its normal position.

Many people say that “time is not forgiving”. With the passing of time the Eyebrows, especially on their outside edges, tend to lower as a result of gravity and muscular activity, giving the eye area the aspect of tiredness or sadness. (this is often called crows feet in the US)

An Eyebrow lift is a fast procedure that requires local anesthesia and only a few days of recuperation. This type of cosmetic surgery has the characteristic of leaving no scars with the ability of recovering the harmony of the eyebrows, bringing them to their normal or ideal position.

It complements other surgical procedures such as Blefaroplasty. GIVE YOUR FACE THE YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE OF A BYGONE TIME.

“Today it is commonly referred as lipoabdominoplasty given that it is the result of combined two techniques: liposuction and abdominoplasty. This procedure is prescribed for those that have lost significant weight or alter pregnancies. It consists of the resection of skin and fat to remove excess to the level of the belly button, tensing the abdominal wall with internal rebuilding of the muscular fascia and liposuction. The shape of the belly button is changed but remains at the same height. This procedure is realized under epidural or general anesthesia and requires hospitalization. A post-surgery dressing is prescribed for two months. Early post-operation therapies are required and incapacity is of three weeks. Exercise can start after a month without any abdominal sit-ups.
