What is Brow Lift Surgery?

Brow lift (forehead lift) is a surgical procedure that elevates drooping eyebrows and reduces forehead wrinkles—creating a more alert, youthful appearance by addressing sagging brows that can make you look tired, sad, or angry even when you're not.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Brow lift can be combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) for comprehensive upper face rejuvenation at a discounted package price. Many patients benefit from addressing both areas together.

⚠️ Insider Note: Endoscopic brow lift offers shorter recovery and less visible scarring than traditional coronal techniques, with equally long-lasting results. Ask your surgeon which technique is best for your anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do brow lift results last?

Results typically last 5-10 years. Aging continues naturally but more slowly in the treated area. Many patients never need a repeat procedure.

Is brow lift painful?

Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort—rated 3-4/10. Tightness and pressure are the main sensations. Pain is well-controlled with prescribed medication.

Will I look surprised or unnatural?

With an experienced surgeon, results are natural. The goal is a refreshed, rested appearance—not a "done," frozen, or surprised look.

Can men have brow lifts?

Yes, techniques are adapted for male anatomy and hairline patterns. Many men benefit from brow lift to reduce a heavy, tired appearance.

When can I return to work?

Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on their job and how quickly swelling resolves. Desk work is easier to resume earlier.

Will there be visible scars?

Endoscopic incisions are hidden in the hairline, making scars virtually invisible once healed. Even traditional techniques place scars where they're easily concealed.

Can brow lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes—often combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facelift, or facial fat grafting for comprehensive facial rejuvenation at package pricing.

What's the difference between brow lift and Botox?

Botox temporarily relaxes muscles causing wrinkles (lasts 3-6 months). Brow lift surgically repositions tissues for lasting structural improvement (5-10 years).
