Many people feel that their upper face doesn’t reflect how vibrant and energized they truly feel. A low or heavy brow, deep forehead creases, or frown lines between the eyebrows can create a tired, angry, or aged appearance. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is designed to elevate the brows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and restore a more refreshed, youthful look to the upper face.

A brow lift subtly repositions the brow to a more natural, youthful height while softening horizontal lines and the vertical “11” lines between the brows. Many individuals consider a brow lift once signs of aging in the upper face become noticeable, though genetics can cause brow heaviness even at a younger age.

During your initial consultation, our surgeon will carefully review your medical history and evaluate your facial anatomy to determine whether a brow lift is appropriate for you. In some cases, a brow lift may be combined with other procedures to achieve the most balanced and comprehensive result.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The endoscopic brow lift, also called an endoscopic forehead lift, is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts sagging brows and smooths forehead wrinkles with minimal scarring. Using a tiny camera and specialized instruments, the surgeon repositions forehead tissue, elevates the brow, and smooths vertical frown lines to achieve a youthful appearance.

Temporal Brow Lift

A temporal brow lift, also known as a lateral brow lift, focuses on the outer portion of the eyebrows and upper face. The surgical procedure involves small, discreet incisions in the temple region, allowing the cosmetic surgeon to elevate the lateral brow with minimal visible scarring. Recovery is generally fast, and most patients can resume outpatient procedures within a short period.

Coronal Brow Lift

The coronal brow lift, sometimes called an open brow lift or coronal lift, is a facial plastic surgery technique used to address sagging brows, forehead wrinkles, and droopy eyelids. During this forehead lift, a cosmetic surgeon makes an incision across the top of the head from ear to ear, allowing direct access to the forehead muscles and underlying soft tissues.

Traditional Brow Lift

The traditional brow lift, also called a direct brow lift, is ideal for patients with drooping brows (ptosis) that primarily affects the central forehead. This facial plastic procedure involves making an incision directly above the eyebrows to lift the brow muscles and facial tissues, removing excess tissue to improve forehead contour and reduce vertical frown lines.

Brow lift surgery can be beneficial for adults who are bothered by:

• A heavy or drooping brow that makes them appear tired, sad, or angry
• Deep forehead creases or frown lines between the eyebrows
• Sagging skin that impacts vision or facial balance

In general, good candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and wish to achieve a more youthful, refreshed look.

Before surgery, patients meet with their provider to review medical history, discuss goals, and determine the best approach for their procedure. The consultation also covers anesthesia options, surgical techniques, and potential risks. Preoperative instructions often include avoiding certain medications that may increase bleeding risk in the weeks before surgery.

During the procedure, small incisions are carefully placed along the hairline or within the natural contours of the forehead to keep them as discreet as possible. Through these incisions, the underlying tissues are gently lifted and repositioned, creating a smoother forehead and naturally elevated brows. Most brow lift surgeries are completed within one to two hours.

Recovery experiences vary depending on the type of brow lift performed. Swelling and bruising are common but gradually subside over one to two weeks. Keeping the head elevated and following all aftercare instructions can help minimize discomfort and promote healing. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 1–2 weeks, although strenuous activity should be avoided until cleared by the surgical team.
