An eyebrow lift, also known as a brow lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reposition the eyebrows to a more youthful and natural position. It is often performed to correct sagging eyebrows, reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and create a more alert, refreshed facial expression. This procedure is commonly performed on patients experiencing signs of aging in the forehead and brow area.

Who Is the Best Candidate?

The ideal candidate for an eyebrow lift:

• Has sagging eyebrows or heavy eyelids that give a tired or sad appearance.
• Desires a more youthful and alert look.
• Is in good health and has realistic expectations.

Procedure Details

• The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
• Small incisions are made along the hairline or within the eyelid creases, minimizing visible scarring.
• The surgeon lifts the eyebrows, tightens the forehead skin, and smooths out forehead wrinkles.

Recovery Time

• Swelling and bruising are common but usually subside within 1-2 weeks.
• Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.
• The final results may take a few months to fully settle, with the skin adapting to its new position.
