FOREHEAD LIFT, BROW LIFT: Refresh Your Forehead • Elevate Your Gaze
Open Up Your Eyes | Smooth Forehead Lines & Lift Sagging Brows Permanently
A forehead lift (also known as a Brow Lift) is a surgical procedure designed to raise drooping eyebrows, tighten forehead skin, and smooth away deep-set wrinkles. As we age, gravity causes the brow to descend, often creating a tired, heavy-eyed, or even “angry” expression. This surgery repositions the underlying tissues to restore a smooth, youthful contour and a brighter, more alert appearance.
What You Will Achieve
✅ Lifted, Youthful Brows: Elevates heavy or sagging eyebrows to a natural, balanced height.
✅ Smooth Forehead: Softens deep horizontal lines and vertical “11 lines” between the brows.
✅ Open, Brighter Eyes: Reduces hooding of the upper eyelids caused by a low brow position, making eyes look wider.
✅ Refreshed Expression: Removes the tired or stern look, replacing it with a rested and friendly expression.
✅ Improved Side Vision: Can enhance peripheral vision if sagging brow tissue was previously obstructing your sight.
✅ Long-Lasting Rejuvenation: Provides permanent anatomical changes that age gracefully with you over many years.
Treatment Comparison
| Feature | Surgical Brow Lift | Non-Surgical (Botox/Fillers) |
| Primary Goal | Permanent tissue repositioning. | Temporary muscle relaxation or volume. |
| Best For | Moderate to severe sagging & deep lines. | Mild lift and softening of fine lines. |
| Longevity | Years | 4–6 months (Botox) / 1 year (Fillers). |
| Downtime | 1–2 weeks. | Zero downtime. |
For a total upper-face refresh, many patients combine a Brow Lift with Upper Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty).
Ideal Candidate
Suitable for adults aged 35 to 75+ who are seeing the structural effects of gravity on the upper face.
You are the perfect candidate if you:
- Have low, heavy, or sagging eyebrows that weigh down your eyelids
- Are frustrated by deep forehead furrows or “frown lines” that make you look stressed
- Have hooded eyes that are primarily caused by brow descent rather than excess eyelid skin
- Want a permanent, structural improvement rather than temporary injections
- Are in good health and seek a natural, refreshed look rather than a “surprised” appearance

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my hairline change?
Endoscopic brow lift preserves the hairline; patients with high foreheads may opt for a hairline lift which also lowers it.

Botox temporarily weakens muscles for 3-4 months; surgical brow lift physically repositions for many years.
Will I lose feeling in my scalp?
Temporary numbness is common for 3-6 months and resolves in most patients.
