Brow Lift Before & Afters
Targeted Rejuvenation
What is a brow lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the upper part of the face. Due to normal aging, skin loses elasticity and the muscles support the brows weaken, causing the brow to droop. During your consultation, our surgeons will discuss your goals and recommend the best brow lift technique for you. Ultimately, a brow lift restores a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance to the upper face, enhancing your natural beauty and allowing your expressions to shine through.
Types of Brow Lift Surgery
Endoscopic Brow Lift
At The Practice, our doctors prefer the endoscopic technique— known for quicker recovery as compared to other traditional approaches. This technique entails creating small incisions usually located approximately an inch behind the hairline. This allows our surgeons to use an endoscope— a thin illuminated instrument that provides clear visibility of underlying tissues.
Our surgeons gently elevate forehead tissues and relocate brows precisely to the correct spot. Rather than simply forceful manipulation, which can make a brow lift look overdone this finessed technique ensures minimal disruption surrounding tissues, a more natural appearance, and a smoother, faster recovery.
Temporal Brow Lift
The temporal lift, sometimes called a mini brow lift, is ideal for patients seeking a subtle improvement in the outer brow and temple area. This minimally invasive procedure focuses on lifting the lateral (outer) portion of the brows and addressing concerns like drooping brow tails or hooding in the outer corner of the eyes.
Small incisions are strategically placed near the temples, minimizing scarring. The temporal lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial rejuvenation options like blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or a mini facelift for a more comprehensive anti-aging effect.
Coronal Brow Lift
The traditional brow lift utilizes a coronal approach, where an incision is made in a headband-like pattern across the top of the scalp, strategically placed behind the hairline. While endoscopic techniques are often preferred for their minimally invasive nature, the coronal approach may be suitable for certain patients:
People Seeking Significant Revitalization: The coronal approach may benefit patients seeking a more dramatic brow lift and rejuvenation of the entire forehead area.
People With a High Forehead or Hairline: This technique can effectively address a very high forehead or a naturally high hairline.
Gliding Brow Lift
A gliding brow lift is a minimally invasive technique that involves tiny incisions made within the hairline. Through these incisions the skin is lifted away from the muscle and “glided” higher to create a lifted and smooth brow and forehead. A gliding brow lift offers natural-looking results and faster recovery compared to traditional lifts that require more extensive treatment.
Elevate Your Look
What is the brow lift procedure like?
Brow lift surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The type of anesthesia used depends on your specific treatment plan and the complexity of the procedure. Most often, general anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort. However, for minimally invasive techniques like endoscopic brow lifts, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option.
The surgical approach varies depending on the chosen brow lift technique. Here's a general overview:
- Incisions: Your surgeon will strategically place precise incisions based on the chosen technique to minimize scarring. Endoscopic techniques use small incisions hidden within the hairline, while traditional lifts might involve an incision across the upper scalp.
- Lift & Reposition: The surgeon carefully lifts and repositions the forehead skin and underlying tissues to achieve the desired brow position and address wrinkles or eyelid hooding.
- Securing the Results: Sutures are meticulously used to close the incisions and stabilize the lifted tissues in their new, rejuvenated position.
Our surgeons prioritize meticulous techniques and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues to promote optimal healing and a natural-looking outcome.
Address Signs of Aging
What conditions does a brow lift address?
A brow lift can effectively address various concerns associated with aging in the upper part of the face. Here's a closer look at some common conditions it can treat:
- Deep Forehead Lines: Brow lift surgery smooths out deep horizontal wrinkles and creases across the forehead, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance.
- Sagging Brows: As we age, the muscles that support the brows weaken, causing them to droop. A brow lift lifts and repositions the brows, opening up the upper eyelid area and eliminating a tired or grumpy expression.
- Upper Eyelid Hooding: Drooping brows can contribute to excess skin and puffiness in the upper eyelids (hooding). A brow lift addresses this concern by lifting the brows and tightening the underlying tissues, resulting in a more alert and refreshed look.
- Frown Lines: While not directly addressed by brow lift surgery, the overall rejuvenation of the upper face can soften the appearance of frown lines between the brows.
By addressing these conditions, a brow lift can significantly improve the overall appearance of the upper face, creating a more youthful, rested, and approachable expression.
Sculpted Brows, Confident You
What areas of the body can a brow lift address?
A brow lift targets the upper third of the face, addressing concerns like sagging brows, forehead wrinkles, and eyelid hooding for a rejuvenated and youthful look.

- Enhanced Expression: Repositioned brows can eliminate a tired or grumpy expression, allowing your natural positive emotions to shine through.
