Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the eyebrows and smooth the forehead. It helps to correct sagging or low-positioned brows, soften frown lines, and reduce wrinkles across the forehead and between the eyebrows.
As we age, the skin and soft tissues of the forehead can descend, making the eyebrows appear heavy or causing hooding of the upper eyelids.
This can lead to a tired, sad, or angry appearance - even when you're not feeling that way. A brow lift aims to restore a more refreshed, open, and youthful expression.
A brow lift is often performed on its own or in combination with other facial procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facelift, or Botox treatments, depending on your needs and goals.
Why Consider A Brow Lift?
You might consider a brow lift if you experience:
Drooping or low eyebrows that create a tired or stern look
Deep horizontal lines across the forehead
Vertical frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
Excess skin over the upper eyelids caused by brow descent
What Does the Procedure Involve?
A brow lift can be done using different techniques. Your surgeon will choose the most suitable approach based on your facial anatomy, hairline, and desired outcome.
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic, as a day case surgery.
Our experienced team will guide you through every step of the journey. We take time to understand your goals, provide honest advice, and offer treatments that prioritise safety, natural outcomes, and patient confidence.
Post Procedure
Swelling and bruising are common around the forehead and eyes for the first 1–2 weeks.
You may feel tightness or numbness, which improves as healing progresses.
Stitches or staples are usually removed after 7–10 days.
Most people return to light activities in 1–2 weeks, with full recovery by 3–4 weeks.
Aftercare
You’ll be given clear aftercare instructions to help minimise swelling and promote good healing.
Final results continue to improve over weeks to months, with scars fading and the face settling into its rejuvenated shape.
