Brow Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, addresses sagging brows, deep forehead creases, and frown lines that can make you appear tired, angry, or older than you feel. By repositioning the brows and smoothing the forehead, a brow lift enhances your natural expressions and brings balance to your facial features. In certain cases, a brow lift can be performed in conjunction with a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation of the upper face and eyes.

Key Benefits of Brow lift

A brow lift elevates the forehead and eyebrow position to restore a refreshed, youthful appearance. This procedure smooths forehead creases, reduces frown lines, and opens up the eye area, helping you look more awake and relaxed rather than tired or stressed. By lifting drooping brows and improving symmetry, it enhances overall facial harmony while maintaining natural expression and personality. Many patients enjoy a brighter, more confident look that lasts for years.

Recovery After Brow lift

Recovery after a brow lift is typically smooth and steady. Mild swelling, tightness, and slight bruising around the forehead and eye area are common in the first few days. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal daily routines within 7 to 10 days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks to support proper healing. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses helps reduce swelling faster. As the tissue settles and incision lines fade, the brows take on a natural, lifted appearance, revealing a refreshed and youthful look over the following weeks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a brow lift last?

    Results are long-lasting, often 7–10 years or more, depending on skin quality, lifestyle, and aging process.

  • Is a brow lift painful?

    Most patients describe mild tightness or pressure, not sharp pain. Discomfort is manageable with prescribed or OTC medication.

  • When can I go back to work?

    Most people return to work and light activities within 7–10 days, once swelling and bruising settle.

  • Will it look natural?

    Yes. Modern brow lift techniques are designed to lift subtly, avoiding the “over-pulled” or surprised look.

  • Can a brow lift help my eyelids too?

    Yes. Lifting the brow naturally opens the upper eye area and can reduce heaviness, but some patients may still benefit from eyelid surgery for maximum improvement.

  • Are the results permanent?

    A brow lift doesn't stop aging, but you will always look younger and more refreshed than if you hadn’t had the procedure.
