Elena Prousskaia is a renowned cosmetic surgeon who offers a solution to the problem of low-lying brows with a brow lift in Bristol.
Lowered brows are often one of the visible signs of the ageing process.
As collagen production slows down, the skin becomes looser and the contours of the face begin to droop.
The eyebrows and the surrounding tissue move down, wrinkles and lines appear, and the space between the brows and the lashes can be significantly reduced.
Brow lift surgery at Elena Prousskaia’s clinic based at the Spire Bristol Hospital is one of a range of surgical treatments on offer to restore a more youthful appearance.

The effect of a lowering of the brow area can be profound.
Lowered brows can signal to others that you are tired or angry when you are feeling quite the opposite.
This disconnect between the way that you look and the way that you feel can have a negative effect on the quality of your interactions with others.
Brow lift surgery can restore a wide-eyed expression to your face and smooth away forehead creases and frown lines.
During your operation, Elena will make four small incisions near your hairline and two further cuts beneath your eyebrows.
Elena will release the muscles causing your forehead lines and the lines between your eyebrows.
She will lift your brow, trimming away excess skin.
Your surgery will be performed under general anaesthetic.
After brow lift surgery, there will be bruising and swelling around your face and head. Remaining in an upright position as much as possible will encourage this swelling to disperse.
Patients need to stay in hospital overnight to receive the appropriate aftercare.
Full recovery from your brow lift will take several weeks and you will have regular checkups with Elena.
You can always contact the clinic for advice if you have concerns between visits.
Most patients who consult Elena about a brow lift are between 40 and 60 years old.
However, she also has younger patients with a genetic predisposition to a lowered brow, forehead creases and frown lines.
Elena provides stunning results and a dramatically improved appearance to all her patients, whatever their age.
Your brow lift will rejuvenate your appearance, but plastic surgery cannot stop the ageing process. Eventually, the brow area will show visible signs of ageing again.
It is impossible to say how long you will be able to enjoy the result of the procedure as this can depend on the quality of your skin, your general health, and your age when you first have brow lift surgery.
Sun damage and other aggravating factors like smoking will age your skin faster and should be avoided to preserve your fresh-faced and youthful appearance.
Elena will advise you about any alternative procedures that she thinks may be appropriate for you.
Other surgeries to improve the brow area include eyelid surgery called a blepharoplasty to correct drooping upper eyelids.
It is common for a brow lift to be part of a face and neck lift, an overall rejuvenation procedure that transforms the appearance of an ageing face.
Your first consultation with Elena is vital to your plastic surgery journey. Elena takes a complete medical history from each patient as she needs to assess your health status before surgery.
Elena will want to know why you want to have brow lift surgery and advise you if she thinks any other treatments or procedures would be more suitable for your individual needs.
Elena likes to provide patients with full details of the surgery and recovery. She also ensures that your expectations of what surgery can achieve are realistic.
Depending on your location, the initial consultation fee is between £200 and £250.
The total treatment cost will be discussed at your initial consultation.

Elena lifts the skin off the deeper facial structures, gently pulls the skin in an upward and posterior direction, removes the excess skin and perform tightening or remodelling of the deeper tissues of the face (SMAS lift). Fat transfer is often performed to improve areas of missing volume which is crucial for juvenile looking face. A small incision, or cut, may be made under the chin to tighten the skin and deeper tissue of the neck. The underlying muscle called platysma may be tightened to remove unfavourable looking neck bands (platismoplasty procedure). Chin liposuction is often performed to remove fat excess under the chin.
It is common to experience swelling, bruising, and some areas of numbness after your procedure. Most of the bruising after a facelift takes 10-14 days to resolve. Swelling will steadily improve over about two weeks, and some areas will recover much quicker than others. Certain areas may hold onto swelling longer.
A mini facelift reduces minor sagging on the lower face and neck. It is a minimal skin tightening procedure which offers shorter-lived results than a traditional facelift.
This will depend on your life style – drinking, smoking and sun damage will accelerate the aging process for you and the lasting effects of your surgery. In healthy individuals with good diet balance and healthy lifestyle the results tend to last longer.
If you present early signs of ageing you may be willing to start with our personalized 4 steps non-surgical rejuvenation program with combination of Botox, Profhilo and fillers before moving to surgical treatments. Please contact us for more information.
A skilled facelift surgeon can rejuvenate your face and neck, replacing the signs of ageing with taut skin, a youthful complexion, and the restoration of natural angularity. In particular, Elena’s approach to these procedures is to emphasis a completely natural look above all, avoiding any impression that you’ve been operated on or that the resulting skin has an overly taut appearance. Excess skin will be removed and underlying tissues, such as muscles and fascia, will be tightened and reshaped. The incisions will be discretely positioned and the resulting scars well hidden. Often done as part of a facelift procedure, necklift surgery aims to remedy loose skin around the neck. Some people are unhappy with what are called neck bands: an age-related condition that begins to appear when the platysma muscle becomes thick and cord-like, resulting in the appearance of bands across the front of the neck. Necklift surgery can make a huge difference to these issues, using a combination of liposuction, suspension stitches and incision to trim excess neck skin.
The process of lifting up the eyebrows, sometimes to help smooth out the horizontal expression lines that come with age, is known as an eyebrow lift. Again this procedure is often done as part of an overall rejuvenation package.
