Plastic surgery
Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Elevate a descended brow and create a more rested, open expression.
Overview
Understanding the procedure.
A brow lift repositions tissues of the forehead and brow to address heaviness above the eyes, horizontal forehead lines, and frown lines between the brows.
Options range from endoscopic techniques using smaller incisions to more traditional approaches. The choice depends on anatomy, hairline, skin quality, and goals.
Is it right for you?
Candidacy is personal.
Candidates often notice a low or sagging brow, heaviness around the upper eyelids, or forehead lines that remain at rest. A consultation distinguishes brow descent from eyelid skin excess.
What to expect
A plan shaped around you.
A brow lift is performed with anesthesia in an accredited surgical setting. Technique and duration vary, particularly when it is paired with eyelid surgery or another facial procedure.
Recovery
Time and support for healing.
Swelling, bruising, and temporary forehead tightness are common. Many patients resume routine social activities in roughly one to two weeks, while healing and sensation continue to evolve.
