What is Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate the upper facial area by elevating the eyebrows and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.

This can effectively address signs of ageing, such as horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines, and drooping eyebrows. Brow lifts can be performed by experienced plastic surgeons, helping to achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance.

Types of Brow Lift

Both surgical and non-surgical brow lift procedures offer various techniques to cater to individual needs and desired outcomes. Here are some common types of brow lifts:

A minimally invasive technique using an endoscope to visualise the surgical area, resulting in smaller incisions and reduced scarring. Surgeons elevate the forehead tissue and reposition the muscles for a smoother appearance.

This targets the lateral part of the eyebrows with small incisions made within the hairline. The surgeon repositions the tissue and lifts the outer brow area to achieve a more youthful look.

A traditional approach involving a long incision from ear to ear within the hairline. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is repositioned for comprehensive forehead and brow rejuvenation.

Usually reserved for older patients with significant brow ptosis, this technique involves incisions within the forehead creases. The surgeon removes excess skin and lifts the eyebrows directly.

Who’s Eligible for Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that enhances facial appearance and addresses signs of ageing. It is suitable for people seeking to rejuvenate their upper facial area. Eligible candidates for a brow lift include those who:

  • Experience moderate to severe forehead wrinkles and furrows.
  • Have sagging or drooping eyebrows that create a tired or aged appearance.
  • Do not have any medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications.
  • Have tried non-surgical treatments without achieving desired results.

Risks and Complications

Like any surgical procedure, a brow lift carries certain risks and complications. Some potential concerns include the following:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Scarring
  • Anaesthesia complications
  • Nerve damage
  • Asymmetry

    Frequently Asked
    Questions

    Is a brow lift painful?

    A brow lift is usually performed under general or local anaesthesia, which helps to minimise pain during the procedure. Post-operative pain can be managed with prescribed pain medications, and most patients experience only mild to moderate discomfort that gradually subsides over a few days.

    How long does it take to see the final results of a brow lift?

    The final results of a brow lift usually become apparent within a few weeks to a few months after the procedure. Swelling and bruising subside gradually, and the skin settles into its new position, revealing the full effects of the brow lift.

    What is the recovery process like after a brow lift surgery?

    After a brow lift surgery, recovery typically involves swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions for optimal results.

    How long do the results of a brow lift typically last?

    The results of a brow lift typically last for several years, with many patients enjoying the rejuvenated appearance for 5 to 10 years or more. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from the sun, and following a good skin care regimen can help prolong the results.
