Brow Lift
Elevate Your Look with a Brow Lift
A brow lift is a refined surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper face by gently elevating the brows and reducing sagging or heaviness around the eyes. It helps restore a rested and harmonious appearance, particularly when the eyebrows naturally descend with age.
Candidate Suitability
Ideal candidates for a brow lift typically include individuals who:
- Notice a low or drooping eyebrow position that affects facial balance or expression.
- Have deep horizontal forehead lines or frown lines between the eyebrows.
- Experience heaviness over the upper eyelids, caused by lax skin rather than eyelid tissue itself.
- Are in good general health and seek a natural, refreshed result without altering their unique features.
Procedure Options and Techniques
Brow lift surgery can be performed using several precise techniques, chosen according to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Utilises small incisions hidden in the hairline, through which a tiny camera and fine instruments gently elevate the brow tissue.
- Temporal or Lateral Lift: Targets the outer portion of the brows to create a subtle, youthful tilt without altering the central brow.
- Coronal (Classic) Lift: Involves an incision along the scalp, allowing for comprehensive rejuvenation across the forehead when more lift is required.
- Direct Brow Lift: Performed along the upper edge of the eyebrow for precise contour control, often suited for specific facial structures or revision cases.
While modern techniques aim to minimise visible scarring and downtime, some risks such as swelling, temporary numbness, asymmetry, or minor sensitivity changes may occur. These are uncommon and generally settle as healing progresses.
Recovery and Aftercare
After a brow lift, patients can expect a few days of mild swelling or tightness, which gradually subsides as the area heals.
- Discomfort is typically minimal and managed with prescribed measures.
- Cold compresses and head elevation in the initial days can help reduce swelling.
- Hair washing and gentle skincare may resume once the incisions are healed.
- Light daily activities are usually resumed within a week, while strenuous exercise should wait until advised.
- Sutures are removed after the initial healing phase, followed by progressive improvement as the tissues settle.
A brow lift can be an elegant way to open the eyes and refresh the upper facial area, achieving results that maintain your natural expression while enhancing overall balance. It can also be thoughtfully combined with an Upper Blepharoplasty to refine the entire eye region for a seamless, more youthful look.
