Brow Lift

The brow and forehead play a major role in facial expression. Over time, skin laxity, muscle movement, and gravity can cause the brows to descend, creating deep forehead lines and a tired or stern appearance. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, repositions the brow and smooths the upper face to restore a more refreshed, alert look. At H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery, surgeons most often perform an endoscopic brow lift, a minimally invasive technique designed to elevate the brow with small, carefully hidden incisions while maintaining natural facial movement.

What to Expect?

During a brow lift procedure, small incisions are typically made within the hairline. Using specialized instruments and an endoscope, the underlying tissues of the forehead are carefully released and repositioned to elevate the brow and reduce the appearance of frown lines. The muscles responsible for deep creases between the eyebrows may also be softened to create a smoother upper face. Because this technique focuses on repositioning tissue rather than removing large amounts of skin, the result is a more natural-looking lift that refreshes the entire upper third of the face.

Recovery Time

Recovery after a brow lift surgery is generally manageable and relatively straightforward. Patients may experience mild swelling, tightness, or temporary numbness in the forehead area during the first stage of healing. Swelling can sometimes extend around the eyes or cheeks but typically improves within one to two weeks. As healing progresses and tissues settle into their new position, the brow appears more elevated and the forehead smoother, helping the face look more rested and expressive.
