Very low eyebrows

I will help you to get rid of your drooping eyebrows and deep wrinkles.

Do you suffer from a tired appearance due to drooping and sagging eyebrows? Is your forehead skin saggy and does your forehead show deep wrinkles? If that is the case a forehead lift is a treatment to consider.

With a forehead lift, the skin of your forehead and eyebrows is lifted. There are different treatment methods. A forehead lift is often combined with an eyelid correction.

The treatment is carried out under general anesthesia. You do not feel it at all. Afterwards you will have a swelling and a sore feeling. The skin on the forehead may feel numb. You can also experience itching on the hairy part of the head. This can last up to three months.

“I was annoyed by my always tired and angry appearance. Everyone is saying now that I look fresh and young. That is very nice to hear. The great thing is that you cannot tell I had an operation.”

Frequently asked Questions

Is it a painful operation?

The endoscopic forehead lift and the direct forehead lift take place under general anesthesia. For several weeks you will experience swelling and bruises. The direct eyebrow lift can be performed under local anesthesia. Minor pain complaints can be treated with cooling or paracetamol.

Do I have to worry about ugly scars?

There are three types of treatment. The first one is the endoscopic forehead lift. Six small cuts are made in the hairy part of the head. The surgery is performed with keyhole surgery. The second one is an open brow lift. You will then get a scar along the hairline. I rarely perform this procedure. The third procedure is a direct eyebrow lift. You will then get scars on the top edge of the eyebrows, which will not be noticeable after a while. A direct eyebrow lift can be a good choice, especially for older patients.

How come your eyebrows fall?

The reason why lowered eyebrows bother you has to do with aging of your skin and forehead muscles. The skin’s elasticity diminishes and gravity takes over. Sunlight and smoking aggravate the situation. By lifting your forehead, your skin becomes smoother and your eyebrows are lifted.

Will I get an unnatural appearance after the treatment?

A forehead correction gives a nice result. Your tiring look and angry expression will disappear. You will continue to have a natural expression; you will look fresher and younger. However, it may be that the eyebrows give a somewhat surprised look during the first six weeks. I know from experience that the skin will sag to the desired level.

Doctor Xander R. Bakker

I am an experienced plastic surgeon, specialized in cosmetic surgery. I have been working as a plastic surgeon since 2005. For a long time, I have been working as an all-round plastic surgeon in several leading hospitals. Therefore, I have gained a lot of experience. Plastic surgery of the face has always had my special attention.

My work requires a personal and tailor-made approach. This is what makes my work so fascinating. Every time I ask myself: ‘Will I be able to bring a change, which makes the patient happier?’ It is always great when this is possible, but sometimes it also means saying ‘no’.

I focus completely on aesthetic plastic surgery. My areas of interest are the face, breast corrections, liposuction and lipofilling of the face and body. By attending many international conferences and courses I stay up-to-date. This way you can be assured that I always deliver state-of-the-art work.
