What Is A Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a lateral brow lift or forehead lift, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper face. It works by lifting and repositioning the forehead and eyebrow area to reduce signs of ageing. This not only raises the brow and enhances the eye region, but also restores a more youthful and balanced contour to the brow line. The primary aim is to refresh the upper facial appearance in a natural-looking way that complements the rest of the face.

How Does Brow Lift Surgery Work?
Brow lift surgery takes around 1 hours and is done under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. Small incisions are made to access and adjust the skin and muscles that cause sagging and wrinkles. Excess tissue is removed or repositioned to smooth the forehead and lift the brows. The incisions are closed with stitches, and the area is bandaged for recovery.
Common techniques include:
Direct Brow Lift: A small incision near the brow, ideal for drooping caused by ageing or nerve palsy.
Pretrichial Brow Lift: Incision along the hairline, great for those who wear hair forward; it can lower the hairline if needed.
Mid-Forehead Brow Lift: Incisions hidden in forehead creases for a subtle, scar-concealed result.
Benefits
- Minimally Invasive Options: Certain brow lift techniques involve less surgical intervention, leading to quicker healing, smaller scars, and faster return to normal routines.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Results from a brow lift are durable, often lasting for several years, making it a worthwhile and cost-effective treatment.
- Enhanced Eye Appearance: By lifting sagging brows, the procedure helps open up the eyes, creating a more refreshed and alert expression.
- Smoother Forehead: A brow lift reduces deep forehead lines and frown wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother and more youthful look.
