Forehead lift surgery, also referred to as a brow lift or upper face rejuvenation, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that lifts and smooths the forehead and eyebrow area. It helps correct deep forehead lines, sagging brows, and frown lines between the eyebrows—offering a more refreshed, alert, and youthful look.
This surgery repositions the skin and underlying tissues of the upper face, often restoring balance and harmony in patients who feel their expression looks tired, angry, or aged.
