Brow Lift at a Glance
-
Overview
A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to correct a low or heavy brow and reduce the appearance of horizontal forehead lines and frown lines. We specialize in three techniques — endoscopic, hairline advancement, and browpexy through an upper lid incision — and select the right one based on your specific anatomy.
-
Recovery
Swelling and bruising are expected and gradually subside over several weeks. Most patients can return to work within one to two weeks, with a full return to normal activities in about three to four weeks.
-
Results
Results are long-lasting and become fully visible as the swelling resolves. The procedure provides a more rested and youthful appearance that can significantly improve your facial harmony and expression.

Three Brow Lift Techniques
The Surgical Process
A brow lift is an outpatient procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or under general anesthesia. We specialize in three different techniques and select the one best suited to your anatomy and goals.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
The endoscopic approach is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions in the hairline and an endoscope (a tiny camera) to lift the brow and forehead tissue. This is the right choice for patients with a normal hairline who need a modest lift, and it offers the fastest recovery of the three techniques.
Hairline Advancement Brow Lift
For patients who have a high forehead and would benefit from both a brow lift and a shorter, more proportionate hairline, the hairline advancement approach is ideal. The incision is made along the hairline itself, allowing the surgeon to lift the brow and lower the hairline at the same time.
Browpexy Through an Upper Lid Incision
For patients who are also having an upper blepharoplasty and need a small amount of brow stabilization rather than a full lift, a browpexy can be performed through the same upper eyelid incision. This avoids additional scars and is ideal for subtle elevation.
Creating a More Open and Welcoming Expression
A brow lift can dramatically change your facial expression. By lifting a heavy or drooping brow, it can make you look more alert and less tired or angry. The procedure also helps open up the eyes, giving them a more vibrant and youthful appearance. It is a powerful way to address the signs of aging in the upper third of the face.
Surgeon's Notes
I choose the technique based on your hairline, not a preference
Three different brow lift techniques sound like a marketing choice, but they're actually anatomy-driven. Endoscopic brow lift works best for patients with a normal hairline who need a modest lift — small incisions hidden in the hair, fast recovery. Hairline advancement is for patients with a high forehead who need both a brow lift and a shorter hairline — this is the right answer if your forehead is what makes you look older. Browpexy through the upper eyelid incision is for patients who are also having upper blepharoplasty and need a small brow stabilization, not a full lift. There's no 'best' technique in the abstract — the best technique is the one that matches your face. That's the consultation conversation.
