What is eyebrow pexia?
The procedure consists of making small incisions strategically located inside the scalp, which allows to tighten the tissues without leaving visible scars. Depending on the case, different techniques can be used, such as:
- Endoscopic pexia: An endoscope is used to raise the eyebrows with minimal invasion and rapid recovery.
- Temporal or lateral pexia: It focuses on raising the outside of the eyebrows, ideal for those looking for a more subtle effect.
- Direct pexia: A small incision is made on the eyebrow for a more precise elevation in patients with severe ptosis.
In some cases, the eyebrow pexia is complemented with a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to enhance results and achieve complete facial harmony.
What is eyebrow lifting or eyebrow pexia?
Eyebrow Pexia, also known as eyebrow lifting, is a surgical procedure designed to raise drooping eyebrows, restoring youthful expression of the face. Over time, the skin loses firmness and causes the eyebrows to move downwards, giving an appearance of fatigue or aging. Therefore, the eyebrow pexia is an ambulatory surgery that repositions the fallen eyebrows, returning freshness and facial balance. It can be done alone or as part of a higher rejuvenation (forehead and eyelids).
