Common Signs You Could Benefit from a Brow Lift

Many men and women notice early signs of aging in the upper face before other areas. You may be an excellent candidate for a brow lift if you experience any of the following:

  • Drooping or heavy brows: Sagging eyebrows can make you appear tired or upset even when you’re not.
  • Deep horizontal forehead lines: Persistent lines that remain visible even when relaxed often signal decreased skin elasticity.
  • Frown lines or vertical creases: Prominent lines between the brows can create a harsh or angry expression.
  • Excess upper eyelid skin: Brow descent can make the eyelids appear hooded, affecting both appearance and comfort.
  • Loss of natural brow arch: Over time, gravity flattens the brow’s curve, changing facial harmony.

If these concerns sound familiar, a brow lift may help elevate the brows and smooth wrinkles for a more rested, approachable appearance.

What to Expect from the Procedure

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, repositions underlying muscles and tissues to restore a smoother contour. Incisions are typically made behind the hairline or near the scalp, allowing for discreet healing. Depending on your anatomy and desired results, the procedure can be customized to achieve a natural lift without a “pulled” look. Many patients combine their brow lift with eyelid surgery or laser treatments for enhanced rejuvenation.

Results are long-lasting, and most patients notice a refreshed, alert expression once swelling subsides. Recovery time varies, but most individuals return to normal activities within 10 to 14 days.
