Surgical procedure
Brow Lift, understood from every angle.
Also called Forehead Lift
If you look angry, worried, or tired in repose and you're none of those things, the brow is often the culprit. As the forehead relaxes with age, the brows drift down, which deepens the lines between them and can leave the upper lids looking heavy.

The procedure, plainly
What brow lift is trying to change.
If you look angry, worried, or tired in repose and you're none of those things, the brow is often the culprit. As the forehead relaxes with age, the brows drift down, which deepens the lines between them and can leave the upper lids looking heavy. A brow lift gently raises the brow back to a fresh, natural position and softens those frown lines. Modern versions are often done through tiny incisions with a camera (endoscopic), so it's far less involved than people expect, and it pairs naturally with eyelid surgery when the heaviness is coming from both.
Who may be considering it
- You're told you look tired or stern when your face is just resting.
- Your brows sit lower than they used to and crowd your upper lids.
- The lines between your brows stay etched even after Botox.
- You want a refresh that opens the eyes without changing who you look like.
What to expect
Easier than it sounds, honestly. Through small hidden incisions in the hairline it takes 1–2 hours, and the bruising and swelling settle over 1–2 weeks, often hidden up in the hair. Most people are back to work within about ten days. The lift looks subtle on purpose, the goal is rested, not surprised, and a good surgeon errs gentle. Results last years, and because it's repositioning the brow rather than freezing a muscle, it works alongside your Botox rather than replacing it.
