A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that elevates drooping brows and reduces horizontal lines across the forehead. It is designed to restore a more alert and approachable look by repositioning the brow to a more youthful height. This procedure can also improve the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows, often caused by muscle tension over time. A brow lift is frequently combined with eyelid surgery for a more complete upper-face rejuvenation. Results are smooth, natural, and long-lasting.
A brow lift is performed either in the operating room or in our office-based surgical setting, depending on your specific treatment plan and anesthesia needs. The surgical technique may vary depending on your anatomy and goals, but incisions are typically made within the hairline to keep scars well concealed. Through these incisions, the forehead skin is gently lifted, underlying muscles are adjusted, and excess tissue may be removed. The brows are then repositioned to a more youthful height, and the incisions are closed with care. The result is a smoother, elevated brow with a brighter overall expression.
Results from a brow lift often last 10 years or more, depending on your skin condition, age, and lifestyle.
