What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates drooping eyebrows and reduces horizontal forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and excess skin on the upper eyelids. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, this procedure addresses the effects of aging, genetics, and repetitive facial expressions that cause the brow to descend over time.

Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

Patients who undergo brow lift surgery at Athēnix experience numerous aesthetic improvements:

  • Elevates sagging eyebrows to a more youthful position
  • Reduces horizontal forehead wrinkles and creases
  • Smooths frown lines and furrows between the brows
  • Opens up the eye area for a more alert, refreshed appearance
  • Minimizes hooding of the upper eyelids caused by brow descent
  • Creates better facial symmetry and balance
  • Provides long-lasting results that can take years off your appearance
  • Enhances confidence with a rejuvenated, approachable expression

Are You a Candidate for Brow Lift Surgery?

Brow lift surgery may be right for you if you:

  • Have drooping or sagging eyebrows that create a tired or angry look
  • Notice deep horizontal lines across your forehead
  • Experience prominent frown lines between your brows
  • Have excess skin on your upper eyelids due to brow descent
  • Maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
  • Are in good overall health without medical conditions that impair healing
  • Do not smoke, or are committed to quitting before and after surgery
  • Desire a refreshed appearance that looks natural, not "overdone"

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Brow Lift

Consultation and Cost

Your brow lift begins with a thorough consultation at our Brentwood practice. Your surgeon will examine your forehead, brow position, and overall facial structure, and discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history.

Brow lift surgery typically costs between $4,000 and $7,000, depending on the technique used and whether you combine it with other procedures. We provide transparent pricing and offer financing options to accommodate your budget.

Procedure Steps

On surgery day, you'll be welcomed to our AAAHC-certified surgical center and prepared for your procedure. Brow lift surgery usually takes one to two hours under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia. The specific technique depends on your treatment plan. 

Recovery and Results Timeline

Most patients go home the same day with detailed recovery instructions. You may have a light bandage for the first day or two. Swelling and bruising peak within 48 hours and gradually improve over the following two weeks. According to the Cleveland Clinic, most patients return to work and light activities within 10 to 14 days, though you should avoid strenuous exercise for three to four weeks.

Types of Brow Lift Procedures

  • Endoscopic Brow Lift: Uses several small incisions behind the hairline with an endoscope (tiny camera) for visualization. This minimally invasive approach results in less scarring and faster recovery.
  • Coronal Brow Lift: Involves a longer incision across the top of the head from ear to ear, hidden within the hairline. This traditional approach provides maximum lifting capability for significant brow ptosis.
  • Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift: Focuses on lifting the outer portions of the eyebrows through small incisions at the temples. Ideal for patients who primarily need elevation at the outer brow.
  • Direct Brow Lift: Makes incisions directly above the eyebrows. This technique is typically reserved for older patients or those with significant asymmetry.

Related Procedures to Consider

Many patients combine brow lift with complementary facial procedures:

  • Upper Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids for complete upper facial rejuvenation.
  • Facelift: Addresses the lower two-thirds of the face, while brow lift refreshes the upper third.
  • Facial Fat Transfer: Restores volume to areas that have lost fullness due to aging.
  • BOTOX: Maintains results by relaxing muscles that contribute to forehead lines and furrows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a brow lift make me look surprised or unnatural?

How is a brow lift different from BOTOX?

Will my hairline change after brow lift surgery?

How soon can I wear makeup after brow lift surgery?

Will a brow lift make me look surprised or unnatural?

When performed by an experienced surgeon, brow lift surgery creates a natural-looking elevation that appears refreshed, not startled. We carefully calculate the degree of lift to maintain natural proportions and preserve your ability to show expression.

How is a brow lift different from BOTOX?

BOTOX temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles and can provide a subtle lift, with results lasting three to four months. Brow lift surgery physically repositions the brow and removes excess skin for more dramatic, long-lasting results, typically lasting a decade or more.

Will my hairline change after brow lift surgery?

With endoscopic and temporal techniques, your hairline position remains unchanged. A coronal lift may elevate the hairline slightly, which your surgeon will discuss during consultation if this approach is recommended for your anatomy.

How soon can I wear makeup after brow lift surgery?

You can typically resume wearing makeup once your incisions have healed, usually within seven to 10 days. Your surgeon will provide specific guidance based on your healing progress and the technique used.
