What Is Brow Lift Surgery?
A brow lift repositions the brows and the soft tissue of the forehead to a higher, more youthful position. As we age, the brows gradually sink, forehead skin loosens and frown lines deepen. This can crowd the upper eyelids and give the face a tired expression. Through small, carefully placed incisions, your surgeon lifts and secures the tissue, smoothing the forehead and opening up the eye area. Incisions are usually hidden within the hairline.
Aim of Brow Lift Surgery:
- Raise drooping or uneven brows
- Soften horizontal forehead lines and frown lines between the brows
- Reduce the heavy, hooded look above the eyes
- Create a more rested, open and youthful expression
- Restore balance to the upper third of the face
Who Should Consider Brow Lift Surgery?
A brow lift may suit you if you:
- Feel your brows sit low or look tired even when well rested
- Have deep forehead lines or frown lines
- Notice skin hooding over your upper eyelids
- Are in good general health and do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations about the result
Many patients are in their 40s and beyond, but a brow lift can help younger people with naturally low brows too. Because droopy brows often add to the look of heavy eyelids, your surgeon may check whether eyelid surgery should be part of your plan.
