A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to raise sagging eyebrows and smooth out forehead wrinkles. It helps create a more youthful, refreshed appearance by addressing signs of aging such as drooping brows, deep forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
What is a Brow Lift?
Brow lift surgery elevates the brow area, reducing the appearance of forehead wrinkles and drooping eyebrows. It is an effective way to restore a youthful look by smoothing the upper face and minimizing the tired or angry expression caused by sagging skin.
Who is a Good Candidate for Brow Lift Surgery?
- Individuals with sagging or drooping eyebrows
- Patients with deep forehead lines or furrows between the eyebrows
- People seeking a more youthful, refreshed appearance
- Those in good overall health and with realistic expectations
- Individuals who feel their drooping brow gives them a tired or angry look
How is Brow Lift Surgery Performed?
A brow lift can be performed using various techniques, depending on the patient’s needs and the surgeon’s recommendations. The procedure typically involves making small incisions within the hairline to lift and reposition the brow tissue. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother, more youthful contour.
Surgery Techniques
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera to lift the brow tissue.
- Coronal Brow Lift: An incision is made along the hairline to lift the forehead skin and adjust the brow position.
- Temporal Brow Lift: Focuses on lifting the outer part of the brow, ideal for patients with sagging in the outer eye area.
Recovery After Brow Lift Surgery
Recovery from a brow lift usually takes around 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients can return to work and light activities after about a week. There may be some swelling and bruising, but this typically subsides within a few weeks. Your surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Post-Surgery Care Tips
- Avoid strenuous activities for at least 2 weeks
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling
- Follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions carefully
- Avoid sun exposure to protect the healing skin
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress

Brow lift results are long-lasting, though the natural aging process will continue. Most patients enjoy their results for many years, especially when maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following a proper skincare routine.
Will a Brow Lift Leave Visible Scars?
The incisions for a brow lift are typically hidden within the hairline or in natural creases, making scars minimally visible. Over time, the scars will fade, and most patients find them barely noticeable.
