What is a Surgical Brow Lift?
A Brow Lift (or eyebrow lift) is a surgical procedure designed to raise drooping eyebrows and rejuvenate the forehead and eye area. It restores a more open, refreshed, and harmonious facial expression.
What is it used for?
- To correct brow ptosis (sagging eyebrows).
- To smooth forehead wrinkles and frown lines (glabellar lines).
- To open up the eyes and reduce heaviness on the upper eyelids.
Results
- Provides a natural and rejuvenating effect visible within a few weeks.
- Duration: approximately 5 to 10 years.
- The scar is discreet, hidden along the hairline depending on the technique used (endoscopic, coronal, or temporal).
Procedure Duration and Recovery
- Surgery time: 1 to 2 hours.
- Anesthesia: local with sedation or general.
- Recovery: 10 to 15 days (possible swelling and bruising).
- Return to sports: after 3 to 4 weeks.
Contraindications
- Poor general health condition.
- Unrealistic expectations.
- Healing disorders or significant hair loss in the frontal area.
When to do it / when not to do it
Recommended: if the eyes appear tired, droopy, or closed.
Not recommended: if the issue is only excess eyelid skin — in that case, a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is preferable.
In summary, a surgical brow lift effectively rejuvenates the upper third of the face by repositioning the eyebrows, softening forehead lines, and restoring a more youthful, harmonious appearance. The results are long-lasting and natural when performed by an experienced specialist.
