Infrabrow Eyelid Surgery Sydney

What is Infrabrow Blepharoplasty?

Infrabrow blepharoplasty is a surgical technique that addresses excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids while preserving the natural contour and crease. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance without altering the inherent structure of their eyelids. Unlike traditional blepharoplasty, which may sometimes change the eyelid's natural fold, infrabrow blepharoplasty ensures a more authentic look by maintaining the original shape.

Choosing infrabrow blepharoplasty offers several advantages over traditional methods

Infrabrow blepharoplasty differs from traditional blepharoplasty by focusing on removing excess tissue while preserving the natural crease of the upper eyelids, ensuring they retain their original appearance. This minimally invasive approach typically results in less swelling and bruising, allowing for a quicker recovery period.
  • Natural-Looking Results - By preserving the natural crease and shape of the eyelids, this technique ensures a refreshed appearance that looks authentic and harmonious.
  • Minimal Scarring - Incisions are carefully placed along the natural folds of the eyelids, minimising the visibility of scars.
  • Quicker Recovery - Infrabrow patients typically experience less post-operative swelling and bruising, allowing for a faster return to daily activities.
  • Enhanced Precision - The infrabrow technique allows for finer adjustments, helping to obtain outcomes specific to your individual anatomy.

It’s important to remember that every individual is unique and so too are their needs and desired outcomes for cosmetic surgery. If you’re considering a procedure, it’s essential to have a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced surgeons. They can help you understand whether you’re a suitable candidate and what you can realistically expect from the surgery. The information provided here is meant to help guide you, but it’s not a replacement for professional medical advice. Always organise a consultation for personalised advice.

If you are concerned about the way you look or are thinking about cosmetic surgery for confidence reasons, there are alternatives. Talking to a counsellor or psychologist may help you overcome your concerns about your appearance.

What to Expect

Consultation

The infrabrow surgery journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced surgeon. During this session, your aesthetic goals, medical history, and current brow and eyelid structure will be carefully assessed. The surgeon will evaluate the skin quality, muscle tone, and fat distribution around the infrabrow area (the region just below the eyebrow). This consultation is an opportunity to discuss your expectations, raise any concerns, and ask questions about the procedure to ensure you are fully informed.

Number and type of consultation
It is a requirement under the law, that a patient seeking cosmetic surgery must have at least two pre-operative consultations. The patient’s first consultation must be with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery or another registered health practitioner who works with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery (not a patient advisor or an agent). At least one of the two consultations must be in person with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery. Other consultations can be in person or by video.

When consent can be given
A patient must not be requested to sign consent forms at their first consultation and cannot consent to cosmetic surgery until they have had an in-person consultation with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery. The decision to have the surgery (provision of informed consent) must be made at a consultation with the medical practitioner who will perform the procedure (in person or by video).

Cooling-off Period
There must be a cooling-off period of at least seven days after the patient has had two consultations and given informed consent (signed consent forms), before the surgery can be booked or a deposit paid.

Preparation

Once the surgical plan has been mutually agreed upon, you will receive specific instructions on how to prepare for your infrabrow blepharoplasty surgery. These may include dietary guidelines, advice on smoking and alcohol consumption, specific instructions about medications or supplements, and skincare procedures.

Surgery

Infrabrow surgery, a specialised procedure to address excess skin and tissue below the eyebrow, typically takes one to two hours and is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes precise incisions along the lower edge of the eyebrow, following its natural contour to minimise visible scarring. Through these incisions, excess skin and, if necessary, small amounts of fat are removed, and the underlying tissues are adjusted to achieve a refined appearance. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures to promote optimal healing.

Recovery

Following infrabrow surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area for a short time. Most patients are able to return home the same day, though in some cases, an overnight hospital stay may be advised. Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the infrabrow area are expected but typically begin to subside within a few days.

Patients can generally resume non-strenuous daily activities within five to seven days. Strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting or intense exercise, should be avoided for approximately two weeks to support proper healing. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and ensure the best possible outcome.

The results of infrabrow surgery will become visible within a few weeks as swelling reduces, with the final outcome typically apparent after several months, once the tissues have fully settled and healed.

Considerations Before Cosmetic Surgery

While we aim to provide accurate information about the different surgical procedures available, it’s important to understand that the content provided here serves as a general guide only. The specifics of each surgery, including the procedure detailed above, can and will vary significantly from person to person, depending on their unique circumstances and physical characteristics.

Undergoing cosmetic surgery is a serious decision that requires ample thought, careful consideration, and meticulous planning. It should never be taken lightly or treated trivially, as it can have profound impacts on one’s lifestyle and wellbeing.

Recovery from cosmetic surgery, too, requires time, support, and proper aftercare. We strive to present realistic and transparent information about the recovery process, but individual experiences may vary. It is typical for recovery to involve certain services or requirements, such as the use of compression garments or receiving therapeutic massages. It also often necessitates significant lifestyle changes, which may include a period of absence from employment and temporary restrictions on certain activities.

In light of these considerations, we strongly encourage potential patients to engage in comprehensive discussions with their GP and our surgeons. The goal is to fully understand the implications, requirements, and likely outcomes of any chosen procedure, and to make informed decisions about their health and aesthetics.

General risks and complications

  • Substantial Hemorrhage: This involves severe blood loss from the area that underwent surgery, which may necessitate additional medical interventions.
  • Susceptibility to Infection: Post-surgery, the risk of infection can rise, potentially requiring either antibiotic treatment or subsequent surgical interventions.
  • Allergic Responses: Patients may exhibit allergic reactions to medical materials such as sutures, dressings, or antiseptic solutions used during and after the procedure.
  • Hematoma Formation: This involves the development of a sizable clot of blood beneath the incision site, which may necessitate medical drainage.
  • Post-Surgical Discomfort: Patients may experience pain, bruising, and swelling in the area surrounding the surgical site.
  • Scar Development: There's a risk of developing keloids or hypertrophic scars, which are elevated, red, and thickened scars over the healed incisions. Though they can be bothersome and aesthetically displeasing, they don't pose a direct health threat.
  • Delayed Healing Process: Healing can be sluggish, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions like diabetes or those who smoke.
  • Anaesthesia Risks: Patients may experience short-term nausea following general anaesthesia, along with other potential risks associated with anaesthesia.

Infrabrow blepharoplasty surgery risks

  • Post-Surgical Pain: Following infrabrow blepharoplasty surgery, patients may experience significant pain or discomfort, which would require proper pain management.
  • Risk of Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there's a potential risk of developing a postoperative infection, which might necessitate further medical intervention.
  • Scarring: Despite efforts to minimise and strategically place incisions, any surgical procedure, including eyelid reduction, can result in noticeable scarring.
  • Altered Eyelid Function: There's a risk of temporary or permanent changes in eyelid function, including difficulty closing the eyes, dry eyes, or excessive tearing.
  • Changes in Vision: The surgery could lead to temporary or permanent changes in vision, including blurred vision, double vision, or in rare cases, loss of vision.
  • Asymmetry: Despite the surgeon's best efforts, there may be an asymmetrical appearance of the eyelids after the surgery.
  • Dissatisfaction with Cosmetic Outcome: The aesthetic results of the surgery might not meet the patient's expectations, necessitating additional corrective procedures.
