A MOOI and more radiant facial expression.

At MOOI Clinic, our mission is to restore your youthful spirit, so you can feel like your younger self again. After a brow lift, not only will you appear more energetic, but you’ll also have a renewed sense of energy because this procedure will relieve the need for you to lift your eyebrows. Performing a brow lift is a minor procedure for our plastic surgeons, but we understand that it’s quite a big step for you. As you consider having your eyebrows lifted, we’d like to tell you more about your options and guide you through the steps involved. During a consultation with a plastic surgeon at our private clinic located in Maastricht, we’ll provide you with all the necessary information so you can make an informed decision.

  • Quality, safety and trust are central to our approach

  • You are always seen and treated by a plastic surgeon who speaks English.

  • We are located in the heart of the Benelux, in the center of Maastricht.

When to have a brow lift?

A brow lift is done when the brow has sagged too low due to gravity and loss of skin elasticity. In this case, this may cause the eyes to not open properly and you may find yourself constantly raising your eyebrows. Sagging eyebrows makes you feel tired and might also be the reason why people keep asking you if you’re tired, or perhaps even angry.

Types of eyebrow lifts

There are several ways to lift eyebrows. Depending on your face and concern, we look for the best solution.

Direct and lateral brow lift

In a direct and lateral brow lift, a little skin above the brow is removed. This occurs either over the entire width of the brow (direct or classic brow lift) or only on the side (lateral brow lift). The choice between which of these two treatments is best depends on the exact position of the eyebrow and your wishes. One disadvantage of a direct or lateral brow lift is that the scar is slightly more visible because it comes just above the hairline of the brow. Therefore, this technique is often used when there are wrinkles on the forehead, allowing the scar to fall into an existing wrinkle.

Eyebrow lift according to Fogli

When only the side of the eyebrow is low and we want to avoid the scar directly above the eyebrow, the Fogli technique can be used. Again, only the side of the eyebrow is lifted but the scar is placed in the hairline making it less noticeable.

Eyebrow lifts with Botox® or fillers?

A brow lift can also be achieved to a limited extent through the use of Botox® and/or fillers. We’d be happy to see if this could also be a possible treatment for you.

Eyebrow lift and/or eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery involves removing the excess skin under the eyebrow. In a brow lift, this is done above the eyebrow, raising the eyebrows higher. Sometimes people come in asking for eyelid surgery but this is not always possible if the eyebrows are too low. If this is the case, we more often recommend an eyebrow lift instead, or a lift in combination with eyelid surgery. We’ll discuss with you what suits you best and what results you can expect.

Eyebrow lift or forehead lift?

The brow lift is a minor procedure performed under local anesthesia by the surgeon. We perform a forehead lift under general anesthesia in an operating room. A forehead lift not only lifts the eyebrows, but also the rest of the skin on your forehead.

The consultation from A to Z

You come to MOOI Clinic in Maastricht to discuss your eyebrow lift. During the consultation, you’ll speak with the plastic surgeon who specializes in eyebrow lifts about everything from general information about pre- and post-operative care, to the details of where the incision will be. We also take the photos for your medical records today.

After the consultation, you’ll be aware of everything regarding your future brow lift and you’ll receive honest advice from us about the expected outcome, risks, recovery and exact costs. We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum.

An initial consultation involves a €50 consultation fee, which will be deducted from the treatment price.

The eyebrow lift

A brow lift takes place under local anesthesia so you won’t feel anything. The area to be operated on is first marked off, then disinfected and finally locally anesthetized. With this procedure, the plastic surgeon removes excess skin. A small incision is made directly above the eyebrow or in the hairline. The treatment is tailored to each client individually so that we can achieve the best possible results. This procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete.

If the surgery goes well and you feel good then you can go home immediately after the surgeon’s approval. You’re not allowed to drive yourself so arrange in advance how you will get home safely. Prior to your surgery, you’re well informed about our aftercare and recovery instructions.

Aftercare and recovery

Before the procedure, you’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions from us. It’s important for your own recovery that you follow these carefully. After surgery, the area around your eyebrows and eyelids will be sensitive and possibly swollen or blue – this is quite normal. You’ll be given a cold pack or ice goggles to apply to reduce swelling. You should use these regularly at home to combat swelling. After about a week you’ll come to the clinic for a check-up and we’ll remove the stitches.

Most people take a week off from work. After 6 weeks, you’re usually fully recovered. The small scars only mature after 1 year. The color and thickness of the scar at this point will likely remain. Protect the scar from the sun during this period. After 3 months, you come to MOOI Clinic for a final check-up.

MY MOOI KLINIEK

Always well informed

At MOOI Clinic we think it is important that you have easy and safe access to information about your treatment. We would like to keep you informed via your own MOOI account. This way you are always well prepared. You will only receive messages that are relevant to you, before, during and after the treatment.

Risks

As with any surgery, there is a chance of bleeding, infection or impaired wound healing. This is usually not serious and easily treated. Your forehead can sometimes be a little numb; usually this is not serious and is easily treated. The eyelids and forehead may stay swollen for a bit longer as a result.

QUIT SMOKING

We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum. Smoking not only makes you less MOOI on the outside, but also on the inside. If you smoke, you have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, skin shedding or respiratory problems with general anesthesia.

Experience of others

Your desire and reasons for having something done to your appearance is personal. It’s very important to us that you feel good about your choices and so, we also give you time to decide what you’re most comfortable with. Both men and women have had an eyebrow lift done through MOOI Clinic, so be sure to read their experiences and check out our reviews at ZorgkaartNederland.nl (the largest independent experience site for Dutch healthcare).
