A woman named Minh, aged 51, visited a facial spa in search of a way to enhance her fortune and change her luck. The consultant recommended lifting her eyebrows as the solution to her drooping eyelids that made her face look heavy and aged. Convinced by the promise of looking younger and gaining respect from others, Minh agreed to undergo the procedure.
However, after the procedure, she experienced redness and swelling in the eyebrow area. Despite returning to the spa for antibiotics as prescribed, her wound continued to worsen and developed deep pustules. Additionally, her upper eyelids remained sagging as they were before the procedure. In mid-April, Minh sought help from Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital where doctors noted severe infection and pustules along her eyebrows with potential for lasting scars even after treatment.
Similarly, another woman over 40 years old received necrotic infection following a brow lift procedure at an unlicensed facility near Lunar New Year 2024. The doctor noted significant infection spreading across her forehead, eyes, temples, and base of the nose resulting in severe complications and aesthetic impacts.
The brow lift procedure involves removing excess skin or fat, tightening sagging skin, and suturing the area for a lifted appearance. However, when performed incorrectly or by unqualified professionals it can lead to severe complications such as infection and scarring. Dr Nguyen Phuong Thao from Department of Dermatology – Skin Aesthetics emphasized that patients should choose reputable licensed facilities with certified doctors when considering a brow lift procedure. It is important to research non-surgical methods for eyebrow lifting to avoid risks associated with invasive surgeries. By opting for safe practices individuals can protect themselves from unlicensed procedures’ detrimental effects while achieving desired results without compromising their health.
Minh’s case serves as a reminder of how important it is to seek professional help when considering cosmetic procedures like brow lifts. Choosing an unlicensed facility or an unqualified professional can lead to severe complications such as infection and scarring that may impact one’s health negatively.
It is crucial for individuals who are considering cosmetic procedures like brow lifts to thoroughly research their options before making any decisions about their appearance surgery needs.
In summary, brow lifts have become increasingly popular due to their ability to improve self-esteem by enhancing facial features such as eyebrows; however this popularity has led some people seeking quick fixes at low cost which eventually resulted in severe complications like infection & scarring which could lead long term harm if not treated promptly & professionally by licensed professionals who possess expertise in this field
