Brow Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise the

position of the eyebrows and smooth the forehead area. Over time, aging, sun exposure,

and natural facial movement can cause the eyebrows to droop and deep lines to develop across

the forehead.

A brow lift helps restore a more refreshed, open, and youthful appearance by lifting the

brows and reducing the appearance of forehead wrinkles and frown lines.

This procedure can also improve the look of heavy or hooded upper eyelids, as lowering

brows can contribute to excess skin around the eye area.

Types of Brow Lift

Traditional Brow Lift

A traditional brow lift involves an incision placed along or just behind the hairline. Through this

incision, the surgeon lifts the forehead skin and underlying tissue, repositions the brow, and

smooths the forehead area.

This technique is often recommended for patients who require more significant lifting or

correction.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions hidden

within the hairline. A small camera called an endoscope is inserted through these incisions,

allowing the surgeon to view the underlying tissues and carefully lift and reposition the brow.

Benefits of an endoscopic brow lift may include:

Smaller incisions

Reduced scarring

Shorter recovery time

Less disruption to surrounding tissues

Recovery times can vary depending on the technique used, but typical timelines include:

First 48 hours

Mild swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes

Patients are advised to rest and keep their head elevated

First 7–10 days

Swelling and bruising begin to improve

Many patients return to work or light activities

2–3 weeks

Most visible swelling and bruising resolve

4–6 weeks

Patients can usually resume full physical activity

Final results continue to improve as swelling settles and the tissues fully heal.
