Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)

Lift the Brow.
Lighten the Look.

A brow lift elevates the eyebrow complex to correct brow ptosis, soften frontal rhytids (forehead lines), and reduce glabellar lines caused by corrugator/procerus activity. The result is a more open upper face and a rested, natural expression.

Who It’s For Book Consultation

Indications

When a Brow Lift Helps

We assess brow height, asymmetry, and its relationship to the upper eyelid and orbital rim.

Frown Lines

Glabellar creases driven by corrugator/procerus hyperactivity.

○ ○

Heavy Brow

Lateral descent causing eyelid hooding and a tired appearance.

○ ○ ○

Deep Forehead Lines

Frontal rhytids from chronic frontalis recruitment.

Technique Options

Brow Lift Approaches

Incision choice is guided by forehead length, hairline position, and ptosis severity.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

+
Small scalp incisions allow ligament release and brow fixation under camera guidance.
Best for: mild–moderate ptosis with good hair density.

Temporal / Lateral Lift

+
Focused lateral elevation improves outer brow droop and lateral hooding.
Best for: patients with outer-brow heaviness.

Pretrichial (Hairline) Lift

+
Incision at the hairline lifts without raising the forehead height.
Best for: high foreheads or receding hairlines.

Direct Brow Lift

+
Precise correction through a hidden incision just above the brow.
Best for: significant asymmetry or facial nerve palsy cases.

Coronal / Open Lift

+
Traditional scalp approach for major ptosis and full-forehead smoothing.
Best for: advanced descent or combined forehead reshaping.

Many patients pair a brow lift with upper blepharoplasty for complete upper-face rejuvenation.

Healing

Recovery Timeline

Bruising and edema peak early, then resolve as fixation matures and tissues settle.

1

Days 1–7

Head elevation, cold compresses, avoid lifting; mild scalp tightness is expected.

2

Weeks 2–3

Bruising fades; brow height stabilizes; return to desk work is common.

3

Weeks 4–8+

Resume full exercise when cleared; scars remodel over 6–12 months.

Planning

Brow Lift vs Botox

Botox relaxes the muscles that create frown lines, while a brow lift repositions the brow complex and can reduce hooding caused by descent. Many patients use both for layered, natural rejuvenation.

Questions, Answered

Brow Lift FAQ

Will I look “surprised” after surgery?

+
No. Elevation is planned along your natural brow vector, especially laterally, to avoid over-arching.

Is a brow lift different from eyelid surgery?

+
Yes. Brow lift repositions the eyebrow unit; blepharoplasty removes excess eyelid skin. Many patients benefit from combining both.

How long do results last?

+
Results are long-lasting. Aging continues, but the brow remains higher than it would have naturally.

When can I return to work?

+
Most people return to desk work in about 7–10 days, depending on bruising.
