The Gliding Scarless Brow Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that rejuvenates the brow area without visible scars or scalp incisions.
This technique addresses sagging brows and excess skin on the upper eyelids, providing a refreshed, youthful look.
Using a small 3-mm incision on each side, the procedure protects muscles and nerves while ensuring natural results.
Recovery is quick, with external net sutures in place for only two days to promote healing and avoid fluid collection.
Patients can enjoy long-lasting, natural outcomes with minimal downtime and no risk of hair loss or elevated hairlines.
Introduction to the Gliding Scarless Brow Lift
The Gliding Scarless Brow Lift, also known as a Forehead Lift or Temporal Lift, is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive technique designed to lift and rejuvenate the brow area. This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their brow’s position and address sagging skin on the upper eyelids without undergoing extensive surgery.
At New You Harley Street, we pride ourselves on offering innovative and patient-focused treatments that deliver natural, lasting results with minimal recovery time. The Gliding Scarless Brow Lift embodies these principles, providing a refined solution to brow rejuvenation.
How Does the Gliding Scarless Brow Lift Work?
This procedure involves a small 3-mm incision on each side of the forehead. Through these incisions, blunt dissectors are carefully inserted to separate the skin from the underlying structures while protecting muscles and nerves. A specialized solution is also infiltrated to prepare the area and reduce complications.
Using the skin’s natural elasticity, the brows are repositioned without tension. This unique approach eliminates the need for skin removal while maintaining a natural and harmonious look.
**No visible scars:** The incisions are discreet and leave no unsightly marks.
**No scalp incisions or hair loss:** Unlike traditional brow lifts, this technique avoids the risk of altering the hairline or causing hair loss.
**Precision and natural outcomes:** The brow is repositioned accurately to achieve a youthful and relaxed appearance.
Benefits of the Gliding Scarless Brow Lift
**Minimally invasive:** The procedure requires only two small incisions, making it less invasive than traditional techniques.
**Quick recovery:** Patients can return to their daily activities sooner, with external sutures removed after two days.
**Natural results:** The technique ensures a refreshed look without any signs of surgery.
**Addresses multiple concerns:** In addition to lifting the brows, it also improves sagging skin on the upper eyelids.
**Safe and effective:** The procedure protects muscles, nerves, and other structures for a safe and long-lasting outcome.

Revision rhinoplasty, also known as secondary rhinoplasty, is a corrective surgical procedure performed to address unsatisfactory results from a previous nose job. For many patients in London and across the UK, the decision to undergo revision rhinoplasty comes after experiencing functional issues, aesthetic concerns, or both following their primary procedure. Common reasons for seeking revision rhinoplasty include breathing difficulties, asymmetry, collapsed nasal structures, or simply dissatisfaction with the cosmetic outcome. Unlike primary rhinoplasty, revision procedures are inherently more complex due to altered nasal anatomy, scar tissue, and potential structural weaknesses from the previous surgery. The complexity increases with each subsequent procedure, making it crucial to select a highly specialised surgeon for revision work. Approximately 5-10% of rhinoplasty patients seek revision surgery, highlighting the technical challenges of primary rhinoplasty. Timing is essential when considering revision rhinoplasty. Most specialists recommend waiting at least 12 months after the initial procedure to allow for complete healing and resolution of swelling. This waiting period ensures that the surgeon can accurately assess the final result and develop an appropriate surgical plan for revision. Patients experiencing severe functional issues such as nasal obstruction may be candidates for earlier intervention, but this is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeons.
Rhinoplasty recovery follows a predictable yet highly individual timeline that extends well beyond the initial healing phase. During the first week post-surgery, patients typically experience significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort. By the end of the first month, while external splints and stitches have been removed, internal healing is only beginning. At 2 months post rhinoplasty, patients often feel their nose looks acceptable for social situations, though substantial internal healing continues. The 3-month mark represents an important milestone in rhinoplasty recovery, but it's crucial to understand that your nose is still very much in a transitional state. At this stage, approximately 60-70% of swelling has typically resolved, particularly in the bridge area. However, the nasal tip—which contains more sebaceous glands and thicker skin—retains significant swelling that can mask the final result. Many patients experience fluctuating swelling at this stage, with some days looking better than others. This is entirely normal and often relates to factors such as sodium intake, physical activity, and sleep position. While your nose may appear dramatically improved from your pre-surgical appearance, the refinement process continues internally as tissues remodel and adapt to their new structure.
While technically possible, revision rhinoplasty is generally not recommended at the 6-month mark as your nose is still actively healing. Most UK specialists advise waiting 12-18 months after primary rhinoplasty to allow complete resolution of swelling (70-80% subsides by 6 months, but the remaining 20-30% takes longer). Revision procedures carry higher risks than primary rhinoplasty and typically cost £7,000-£15,000 in London. For optimal results, choose a surgeon specializing specifically in revision cases, set realistic expectations, and understand that improvements rather than perfection should be the goal, particularly for complex revisions.
