Brow Lift

Lifting a heavy brow without losing natural expression.

Procedure overview

A brow lift raises a low or heavy brow that can contribute to a tired or stern appearance, and can also ease hooding over the upper eyelids.

Modern techniques favour a subtle, natural repositioning rather than a dramatically raised, 'surprised' look.

01
1st consultation
Brow position, forehead skin and muscle activity are assessed to determine the right technique and expected lift.
02
2nd consultation
Technique (endoscopic, temporal, or direct) and incision placement are discussed based on hairline and skin quality.
03
The procedure
Usually performed under general anaesthesia or sedation, typically 1 to 2 hours.
04
Follow-up
Stitches or staples are removed within 10-14 days, with swelling and bruising settling over 2-3 weeks.

Will this leave visible scars?

Incisions are placed within or just behind the hairline, making them well concealed once healed.

Will my eyebrows look artificially raised?

Modern techniques aim for a natural, moderate lift rather than an overly raised or surprised appearance.

How long is the recovery?

Most visible bruising and swelling resolve within 2-3 weeks.

Can this be combined with eyelid surgery?

Yes, a brow lift is frequently combined with blepharoplasty when both areas are contributing to a tired appearance.
