Precision Lifting for a Harmonized Upper Face

Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)

GOAL

To elevate descended brows and forehead tissues and restore openness to the eyes and soften deep forehead and frown lines.

PROCEDURE

Small, discreet incisions are made within the hairline, allowing the forehead tissues to be gently lifted and secured in a more youthful position. Muscles contributing to deep lines may be adjusted for smoother, natural results.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Typical recovery is 7–10 days with improving swelling each day. Results refine over several weeks, revealing a smoother forehead, naturally elevated brows, and a brighter, more rested expression.

Target the Causes of Forehead Heaviness and Brow Descent

Incisions are placed strategically within the hairline or natural creases for minimal visibility.

Candidates for Brow & Forehead Lift

You may be a good candidate if you:

Constantly look tired or stern due to brow position

Have deep forehead creases or prominent frown lines

Experience hooded upper eyelids driven by brow descent

Want long-lasting improvement that injectables cannot fully achieve

Have brow asymmetry that affects facial balance

During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate whether a combined lift, a more localized approach, or an alternative treatment is best.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A BROW & FOREHEAD LIFT?

It is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper third of the face by lifting the brows, elevating descended forehead tissues, and smoothing deep forehead and frown lines. Because the forehead and brows function as a connected unit, modern techniques address them together for a natural, balanced result.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?

Ideal candidates have low or drooping brows, forehead heaviness, deep wrinkles, “11s” between the brows, or upper-eyelid hooding caused by brow descent. Patients seeking long-lasting improvement beyond injectables often benefit most.

WHAT TYPES OF TECHNIQUES ARE USED?

Techniques include endoscopic lifts (minimally invasive), temporal/lateral lifts (outer brow and temple), coronal lifts (most comprehensive), and hybrid approaches tailored to brow asymmetry or specific regions.

WHERE ARE THE INCISIONS PLACED?

Incisions are typically hidden in the scalp behind the hairline or placed within natural creases. The exact placement depends on the chosen technique, hairline position, and goals.

WILL IT CHANGE MY EYE SHAPE?

No. When performed correctly, a brow & forehead lift opens the eye area by lifting heaviness above the lids, but it should not change your natural eye shape. The goal is a refreshed, not altered, appearance.

WILL MY BROWS LOOK OVER-LIFTED OR SURPRISED?

No. Modern techniques prioritize natural elevation and proper vector control, avoiding an over-arched or “surprised” look. Your surgeon customizes the lift to your anatomy and aesthetic preferences.

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

Results typically last many years. Because the deeper tissues are repositioned—not just tightened—improvement in brow position and forehead smoothness remains long-term, although natural aging continues.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?

Most patients resume normal activities within 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising usually improve significantly during the first week. Full refinement of results may take several weeks to a few months.
