Risks And Benefits Of Eyebrow Lifts And Fillers

Scarring

Scarring is always a risk for any cosmetic procedure, including an eyebrow lift! Individuals develop scars when scar tissue is what heals the skin in the area the procedure treated. Scar tissue is more dense and fibrous than healthy tissue, which is why it will look different! The classical eyebrow lift is the one with the highest risk of scarring. It uses a large incision behind the hairline that goes from one ear to the other.

An infection after an eyebrow lift also carries the risk of scarring. Infections may need another surgical procedure to correct. Poor wound healing is also a cause! Also, if individuals are not happy with the results and want revision surgery, they increase their chances of scarring. However, an experienced dermatologist or surgeon can dramatically decrease the risk of scarring due to eyebrow lifts!
