Eyebrow Lift (Brow Lift / Forehead Lift)

What Is an Eyebrow Lift?

An eyebrow lift, also known as a brow lift or forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that raises the position of the eyebrows to create a more open, refreshed, and youthful eye area. It also smooths horizontal forehead lines and frown lines (glabellar lines), helping to correct a tired, angry, or aged appearance.

This procedure can be done surgically or non-surgically, depending on your facial anatomy, desired results, and recovery preferences.

Why Do People Choose a Brow Lift?

  • To raise drooping or sagging eyebrows

  • To reduce forehead wrinkles and frown lines

  • To open up the eye area and brighten the expression

  • To correct asymmetry in eyebrow height or shape

  • To delay signs of aging or maintain facial harmony

  • To boost self-confidence and improve facial balance

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

  • Have low, flat, or sagging brows

  • Feel your expression looks tired, sad, or angry

  • Want subtle rejuvenation of the upper face

  • Are in good general health and don’t smoke

  • Prefer natural-looking, harmonious results

Surgical Brow Lift Techniques

Endoscopic Brow Lift (Minimally Invasive)

  • Involves small incisions behind the hairline
  • A tiny camera (endoscope) is used to guide tissue elevation
  • Results in minimal scarring and faster recovery

Best for: Mild to moderate sagging, younger patients

Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift

  • Lifts the outer brow (“tail”) via incisions hidden in the temples

  • Popular for those wanting a more lifted, almond-eye look

  • Can be combined with eyelid or fox eye procedures

Classic (Coronal) Brow Lift

  • Uses a longer incision across the scalp

  • Elevates the full forehead and brows

  • Rarely used today due to more modern, less invasive methods

Direct Brow Lift

  • An incision is made just above the brow line
  • Best for older patients or those with high foreheads
  • Allows precise, targeted lift and asymmetry correction

Non-Surgical Brow Lift Options

Thread Lift (Fox Eye Technique)

Special dissolvable threads are placed under the skin to lift and reposition the outer eyebrows.

  • Minimally invasive with no scalpels

  • Immediate visible lift that improves over 2–4 weeks

  • Results last 6–12 months

Best for: Younger patients, those wanting subtle lift without downtime

Eyebrow Lift with Filler

Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are injected under the brow and around the temples to provide volume and lift.

  • Non-invasive and quick (15–30 min)

  • No downtime

  • Results last 6–9 months

Best for: Mild brow drooping, hollow temples, or as a first-step rejuvenation

Eyebrow Lift with Focused Ultrasound (Ultherapy)

Uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and skin tightening in deep tissue layers.

  • No needles or incisions

  • Gradual lift over 2–3 months

  • Results last up to 12–18 months

Best for: Early signs of sagging or maintenance after surgical lift

Botox Brow Lift

By relaxing the muscles that pull the brows downward, Botox subtly elevates the brow line.

  • Non-invasive

  • Results appear in 3–5 days, lasting 3–4 months

Best for: Early brow descent, frown lines, or “angry” expression

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Swelling and bruising peak at 2–5 days, usually resolve in 10–14 days
