What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a facial surgical procedure that elevates the forehead skin and repositions the eyebrows to a more youthful location. By addressing drooping brows and deep creases, eyebrow lift surgery improves upper facial harmony and reduces heaviness around the eyes. Many patients also notice indirect improvement in the appearance of the upper eyelids.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a brow lift or forehead lift if you:
- Have deep horizontal forehead lines or frown lines
- Notice sagging or uneven eyebrows
- Feel your eyes look tired, angry, or aged
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations for facial rejuvenation
A personalized consultation helps determine whether brow lift surgery is appropriate alone or in combination with other procedures.
Benefits of a Brow Lift
A brow lift offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, including:
- Smoother forehead with reduced deep creases
- Elevated, more youthful eyebrow position
- Improved symmetry of the brow and upper face
- Reduction in a tired, angry, or sad appearance
- Long-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation
Areas Treated with a Brow Lift
A brow lift improves the upper face holistically by addressing:
- Forehead – softens wrinkles and horizontal lines
- Eyebrows – lifts sagging brows to restore proper position
- Upper eyelids – indirect improvement by relieving brow heaviness
- Area between the brows – reduces frown lines and tension
Elevating the brow helps open the eyes and refresh the entire upper facial region.
What to Expect from Brow Lift Surgery
Several techniques may be used depending on anatomy and goals. The most common approach is an endoscopic brow lift, performed through three to four small incisions hidden behind the hairline. Specialized cameras and instruments allow precise elevation of the brow tissues, which are secured using bone-anchored fixation.
This technique minimizes visible scarring and supports refined, natural-looking results.
Brow Lift Recovery
Brow lift recovery is generally predictable and manageable:
- Temporary swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes
- Mild to moderate discomfort controlled with prescribed medication
- Head elevation is recommended for the first week
- Hair washing is usually allowed within twenty-four hours
- Bruising often resolves within one to two weeks
- Most patients return to work and social activities within about two weeks
Final results continue to improve as swelling subsides.
