Understanding The Risks And Benefits Of Eyebrow Lifts And Fillers

Scarring

Many individuals can deal with scarring after an eyebrow lift. It is because the incision site has to heal, and sometimes scar tissue is what the body produces. Scar tissue is denser and more fibrous than healthy tissue. This is why scars appear different from the rest of the skin. Individuals are considered to be at a higher risk of scarring if they undergo a classical eyebrow lift. This type of eyebrow lift involves a large incision behind the hairline. It extends from one ear all the way over to the other. The size of the incision is what increases the risk of scarring.

Scarring due to an eyebrow lift may also occur due to an infection at the incision site or revision surgeries. An infection may need additional surgeries to treat. It can also result in poor wound healing, which can increase scar tissue formation. In addition, should an individual find the results unsatisfactory, they may need a revision lift to achieve what they want. Additional procedures will increase the risk of scarring as well, since more incisions are needed.
