Brow & Forehead Lift
What is a Brow & Forehead Lift?
A brow and forehead lift is a facial rejuvenation procedure designed to raise the brow line, reduce deep forehead lines, and open up the upper face, creating a more relaxed, youthful expression.
Over time, the brow can descend, causing a tired, angry, or sad appearance. This procedure gently lifts and repositions the brow while smoothing horizontal creases and frown lines between the eyebrows. The result? A brighter, more approachable look that still feels authentically you.
Key Information

Outpatient surgery with light sedation or general anesthesia
Personalized to your facial structure and aesthetic goals
What to Expect During Surgery
Brow and forehead lift procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of your treatment plan.
Your surgeon will make small, well-concealed incisions, often hidden within the hairline or natural forehead creases. Using specialized techniques, the underlying brow tissues are gently lifted and secured into a more youthful position. Excess skin may be removed to smooth lines and prevent drooping.
The procedure usually lasts about 2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you’ll return home the same day with post-op guidance and support from our dedicated team.
