Who is a good candidate for a brow lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape the eyebrows, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
The ideal candidate for a brow lift is someone who is bothered by the appearance of drooping eyebrows or forehead wrinkles and desires a more rejuvenated look.
Some common signs that may indicate a person is a good candidate for a brow lift include:
- Sagging or drooping eyebrows that create a tired or angry appearance
- Deep forehead wrinkles or creases between the eyebrows
- A furrowed brow that gives the appearance of constant worry or stress
- Excess skin on the forehead or upper eyelids that may be affecting vision
It’s important to note that while a brow lift can produce dramatic results, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The best way to determine if a brow lift is right for you is to schedule a consultation with us so we can evaluate your individual needs and goals and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
What are the results of this procedure?

Smoother, more youthful-looking skin: A brow lift can effectively smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Lifted, more defined eyebrows: By raising the position of the eyebrows, a brow lift can create a more defined, lifted appearance that can help to open up the eyes.
Improved symmetry: A brow lift can correct asymmetry in the eyebrows and forehead, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
Reduced signs of aging: A brow lift can help to address the visible signs of aging in the forehead and brow area, such as sagging skin and wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this procedure performed?
The brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a procedure that can be done using a variety of techniques, depending on the individual patient’s needs and goals.
Here are the basic steps of a traditional brow lift procedure:
- Anesthesia: The patient will receive anesthesia, which may include intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
- Incisions: The surgeon will make incisions in the scalp, typically along the hairline or above the brow. The size and location of the incisions will depend on the specific technique used.
- Tissue repositioning: The surgeon will lift and reposition the tissues of the forehead and brow, which may involve removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and repositioning fat deposits.
- Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures or surgical staples.
Depending on the technique used, the procedure can take between 1-2 hours to complete. Some techniques, such as endoscopic brow lifts, involve smaller incisions and may result in less scarring and a shorter recovery time.
What can I expect during the healing and recovery phase?
Recovery after a brow lift procedure can vary depending on the individual patient, the technique used, and the extent of the surgery. However, here are some general guidelines on what to expect during the recovery period:
- Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are common after a brow lift and may persist for several days or weeks. Patients may also experience some discomfort or pain, which can be managed with pain medication prescribed by the surgeon.
- Bandages and Stitches: The patient may have bandages and stitches in place to support the healing process. The surgeon will provide instructions on how to care for the bandages and when to have the stitches removed.
- Activity Restrictions: Patients should avoid strenuous activity and exercise for at least a week after the procedure to minimize the risk of complications and promote healing. Patients should also avoid bending over, lifting heavy objects, and engaging in any activities that may put pressure on the forehead or brow.
- Recovery Timeline: While the recovery time varies from patient to patient, most patients are able to return to work and resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks after the procedure. However, it may take several weeks for the swelling and bruising to completely subside, and the final results of the procedure may take several months to become fully apparent.
How long do results last?
The duration of the results from a brow lift can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the technique used, the patient’s skin quality, and their overall health and lifestyle habits.
Generally speaking, the results of a brow lift can last anywhere from 10 to 12 years or more, with some patients experiencing longer-lasting results. However, it’s important to note that the aging process will continue, and some natural sagging and wrinkles may occur over time.
To help maintain the results of a brow lift and prolong the effects, patients are advised to practice healthy lifestyle habits such as avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, and protecting the skin from sun exposure. Regular exercise and a good skincare routine can also help to promote healthy skin and maintain a more youthful appearance.
Additionally, some patients may choose to undergo additional cosmetic procedures or touch-up treatments to further enhance the results of their brow lift over time.
