Browlift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate the eyebrows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and reduce frown lines. It restores a more youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance by correcting sagging brows and deep creases across the forehead. This procedure is often sought by patients who appear tired, angry, or aged due to low or drooping eyebrows.
How is a Browlift performed?
A brow lift is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. There are a few different techniques your surgeon may use based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals:
Endoscopic Brow Lift: A minimally invasive approach involving small incisions behind the hairline. A tiny camera (endoscope) and surgical tools are used to lift and reposition the brow tissues.
Coronal (Traditional) Brow Lift: Involves a longer incision across the scalp, hidden within the hairline. This allows for more dramatic lifting and repositioning.
Temporal or Limited Incision Lift: A shorter-scar option that targets the outer brow area.
After adjusting underlying tissues and removing excess skin (if needed), the incisions are closed, and the forehead is gently lifted for a more youthful look.
Post Browlift Care
Swelling and mild bruising around the forehead and eyes are common in the first few days after surgery. Patients are usually able to resume light activities within a week. Following your surgeon’s recovery instructions ensures a smooth healing process and beautiful results.
Keep your head elevated – Sleep with your head propped up to minimize swelling and discomfort.
Avoid bending over or lifting heavy objects – These activities can increase pressure and delay healing.
Follow all post-op instructions for incision care – Proper cleaning and avoiding direct sun exposure help ensure optimal scar healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most swelling and bruising resolve within 1–2 weeks, and patients typically return to work within 7–10 days. Final results become more apparent as residual swelling fades over the following weeks.
Scars are minimal and well-hidden within the hairline or natural skin folds. Endoscopic techniques especially reduce scarring by using very small incisions.
Results from a brow lift are long-lasting—often 10 years or more. While aging continues, your brow will remain more elevated and youthful than it would without surgery.
Yes. A brow lift is often performed alongside other facial procedures like eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), facelift, or Botox to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
