When your brows drop, everything above the eyes changes. Deep forehead creases set in, frown lines between the brows become permanent, and hooded lids make you look stern or exhausted even when you are neither. A brow lift repositions the brow to its naturally youthful arch, softens those lines, and opens up the entire upper face. The result lasts a decade or more and looks like tension simply let go.
What Is Brow Lift?
A forehead rejuvenation procedure addresses drooping eyebrows, deep forehead lines, and frown lines between the brows. It lifts and tightens the tissues of the forehead, creating a more youthful, alert appearance.
Our partner surgeons use advanced techniques to restore a naturally elevated brow position while maintaining your unique facial character and avoiding an overly surprised or artificial look.
Common Concerns Brow Lift Can Address
- Sagging or low-positioned eyebrows
- Deep horizontal lines across the forehead
- Frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines)
- Hooded upper eyelids caused by brow descent
Are You a Good Candidate?
- In good overall health with realistic expectations
- Non-smoker or willing to quit before surgery
- Bothered by signs of ageing in the forehead and brow area
Techniques & Options
Brow position, forehead length, and the depth of forehead creases vary widely from person to person, and each factor shapes the ideal approach. Your surgeon will evaluate your hairline, skin thickness, brow symmetry, and the muscles that pull the brow downward during your consultation. The procedure can correct everything from a heavy, low-set brow and deep horizontal lines to persistent frown lines and lateral hooding.
There are three main surgical approaches:
Endoscopic Brow Lift
The most popular technique today. Several small incisions behind the hairline allow the surgeon to lift and reposition brow tissues with camera guidance. Ideal for mild to moderate sagging.
- Minimal scarring hidden in the hairline
- Shorter recovery time and less post-operative discomfort
- Ideal for mild to moderate brow sagging
- Preserves sensation in the scalp
Coronal Brow Lift
A single incision across the top of the head, hidden within the hair, allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and reposition the entire forehead. Best for significant brow drooping.
- Best for significant brow drooping or deep forehead wrinkles
- Can address hairline position simultaneously
- Longer-lasting results for severe cases
- More extensive recovery but excellent control
Temporal (Limited Incision) Brow Lift
Small incisions at the temples target the outer brow, lifting the tail without affecting the central forehead. Often combined with upper eyelid surgery for comprehensive results.
- Perfect for patients with mostly lateral brow descent
- Minimal scarring and faster recovery
- Often combined with upper eyelid surgery
- Less invasive than full brow lift approaches
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3
Swelling and bruising around the forehead and upper eyelids are normal and expected. Some temporary tightness and mild headache-like discomfort may occur. You'll rest comfortably at your hotel with prescribed medication and daily check-ins from your care coordinator.
Days 4–7
Swelling begins to subside noticeably and bruising starts to fade. Stitches or clips are removed around day 7–10 at your follow-up appointment. Most patients feel well enough for light activities and short walks outdoors.
Weeks 2–3
Bruising has largely faded and you'll see a significant improvement in brow position and forehead smoothness. Many patients return to non-strenuous work and social activities during this period. Avoid heavy lifting until cleared by your surgeon.
Months 1–3
The brow settles into its final position as remaining swelling resolves and tissues soften. Scars fade and become virtually invisible within the hairline. Full results are apparent by 3 months, with continued refinement over the following weeks.
What to Expect
Safety & Risks
A brow lift is a well-established procedure with a strong safety record, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks.
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Numbness around the forehead
- Asymmetry in brow height
- Temporary hair loss near incisions
- Infection or bleeding (rare)
- Scarring (well-hidden in hairline)
Because forehead lift surgery involves the scalp and brow musculature near important sensory nerves, your surgeon will map your brow anatomy in detail and review every potential complication with you before scheduling your procedure.
