Brow Lift
Rejuvenate and Refresh Your Upper Face
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate the eyebrows, smooth forehead lines, and reduce the appearance of frown lines and drooping skin above the eyes. As we age, the brow can begin to sag, causing the eyes to appear tired, angry, or older than we feel. A brow lift restores a more youthful, relaxed, and refreshed look to the upper third of the face.
This procedure is often performed alone or in combination with other facial rejuvenation surgeries such as a facelift, eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), or neck lift for more comprehensive facial enhancement.

Understanding the Brow Lift Procedure
A brow lift is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the technique and patient preference. Several techniques are available, and the method used will depend on your facial structure, amount of excess skin, and the position of your hairline.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
A minimally invasive approach using small incisions hidden within the hairline. A tiny camera guides the surgeon to reposition muscles and lift the brow with minimal scarring and faster recovery.
Coronal Brow Lift
Involves an incision across the top of the scalp, behind the hairline, allowing for a more extensive lift. This technique is often used when significant correction is needed.
Hairline or Trichophytic Brow Lift
Ideal for patients with high foreheads, this method allows brow elevation while also lowering the hairline slightly.
Once the underlying muscles and tissues are adjusted and the brow is lifted to the desired position, excess skin is removed and the incisions are closed. All incisions are placed discreetly to minimize visible scarring.
Brow Lift Recovery –
What to Expect
Recovery after a brow lift is generally well-tolerated and involves only mild to moderate discomfort. Some swelling and bruising are expected in the forehead and around the eyes but typically subside within 7–14 days.
Patients are encouraged to keep their head elevated and avoid strenuous activity for the first one to two weeks. Most individuals feel comfortable returning to work within 7–10 days, and full results become visible as swelling diminishes.
Final results reveal a smoother, more youthful forehead, a refreshed upper face, and a more open, alert appearance around the eyes.
