What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise the eyebrows, reduce horizontal forehead lines, and correct frown lines between the brows. It restores a more youthful, refreshed appearance to the upper third of the face and can improve the look of heavy or drooping brows that may contribute to a tired or stern expression.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

Smoother, more youthful forehead appearance
Reduced frown lines and deep creases between the brows
Restored eyebrow position that opens and brightens the eyes
Improved facial harmony and balance
Long-lasting, natural-looking results
Enhanced self-confidence and comfort in your appearance

Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

You may be a candidate for a brow lift if you experience one or more of the following:

Drooping or low-positioned eyebrows
Deep horizontal forehead lines or furrows
Frown lines between the eyebrows
A tired, angry, or aged appearance in the upper face

Ideal candidates are generally healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Our team will evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals during your consultation to determine if a brow lift is the right option for you.

I feel very fortunate to have found such a highly skilled, kind, extremely talented and patient surgeon in Dr. Akshay Sanan. From the first time I met him, I knew he was the surgeon I would choose to perform my deep plane face and neck lift, brow lift, lip lift and CO2 laser. He achieved the results I wanted and even surpassed my expectations. I look rejuvenated but still like myself - just a more youthful refreshed version

Your Consultation

Your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation. We take time to listen, examine your facial structure, and discuss your concerns and goals. You will receive a customized treatment plan and clear guidance on what to expect, including your surgical options, recovery, and expected outcomes. All your questions will be answered so that you feel informed and confident in your decision.

How Much Does it Cost?

The cost of a brow lift varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, your aesthetic goals, and whether it is combined with other treatments. We provide personalized pricing during your consultation, along with information on financing options to make your investment more manageable.

What to Expect During a Brow Lift Procedure

Brow lift surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. Our surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to reposition underlying tissues, remove excess skin, and refine the brow area. Incisions are carefully placed within the hairline or natural creases to minimize visible scarring. The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours and is performed in our state-of-the-art operating suite.

Brow Lift Recovery and Results

Recovery is generally smooth and manageable, with most patients returning to normal activities within 7 to 10 days. Mild swelling and bruising may occur but gradually subside. Final results develop over several weeks, revealing a lifted, refreshed brow and more open, expressive eyes. Results are long-lasting, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care.

Types of Brow Lift Techniques

There are several brow lift techniques available, and our surgeons will recommend the most appropriate option based on your anatomy and goals:

Endoscopic Brow Lift: Minimally invasive with small incisions hidden in the hairline.
Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift: Focuses on the outer third of the brow for a subtle lift.

Other Options for Rejuvenation

Depending on your needs, a brow lift may be combined with or considered alongside other procedures:

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) for sagging or puffy eyelids
Facelift or Neck Lift to address mid and lower face aging
Non-surgical options, such as BOTOX or dermal fillers, for those seeking temporary or less invasive improvements

Can a brow lift help with vision obstruction caused by a heavy brow?

Yes, for some patients, a sagging brow can contribute to upper visual field obstruction. A brow lift may help alleviate this by repositioning the brow and reducing tissue that may be impeding sight.

Can I combine a brow lift with skin resurfacing treatments?

Absolutely. Many patients choose to complement surgical procedures with skin treatments such as laser resurfacing or microneedling to enhance texture and tone.

What is the difference between a brow lift and a BOTOX brow lift?

A surgical brow lift offers long-term lifting by adjusting tissues, while a BOTOX brow lift provides temporary elevation by relaxing specific muscles. Your provider can explain which option better fits your goals.

How soon after a brow lift can I fly or travel?

While short flights may be possible within a few days, we typically recommend waiting 1 to 2 weeks post-surgery to travel for extended periods to reduce the risk of complications.

Will my hairline be affected by a brow lift?

Depending on the technique used, the hairline may be adjusted slightly. Our surgeons are skilled in preserving your natural hairline and minimizing any visible changes.

Is a brow lift permanent?

While no surgical procedure can stop the aging process, brow lift results are long-lasting. Many patients enjoy the benefits for 10 years or more, especially with healthy habits and good skincare.

What if I have asymmetrical brows?

A brow lift can address asymmetry to some extent. Your surgeon will evaluate the degree of imbalance and customize your procedure to create a more harmonious look.

Can men undergo brow lift surgery?

Yes. We frequently perform brow lifts for male patients, using techniques that maintain masculine features while achieving a natural, rested appearance.

Is there a preferred age range for a brow lift?

There is no strict age requirement. Patients typically range from their 40s to 60s, but suitability is determined by facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.

Will a brow lift change how I express emotions?

Not at all. A properly performed brow lift should preserve your ability to express emotions naturally while softening lines and lifting the brow area.
