Face Procedure
Brow Lift
A procedure designed to elevate a low or heavy brow, soften upper-face heaviness, and create a more refreshed appearance around the eyes and forehead.
Procedure Overview
What is a brow lift?
A brow lift is a procedure used to improve brow position and reduce the appearance of heaviness in the upper face. It can help lift a low or descended brow, soften forehead heaviness, and improve the way the brow and upper eyelid relate to each other.
In some patients, a low brow contributes to a tired, stern, or heavy appearance around the eyes. A brow lift aims to refresh this area while preserving natural movement and expression.
Who It Is For
Who may benefit from a brow lift?
A brow lift may be suitable for patients who feel the upper face looks heavy, low, or tired because of brow descent or forehead-related ageing changes.
Low brow position
Can help improve a brow that sits too low and contributes to upper-face heaviness.
Heavy upper eyelid appearance
Useful when brow descent is part of the reason the upper eyelids appear hooded or tired.
A more refreshed expression
Aims to brighten the upper face while maintaining natural expression and facial character.
The Procedure
Improving brow position in balance with the rest of the face
A brow lift is planned according to the patient’s anatomy, the degree of brow descent, and the relationship between the brow, forehead, and upper eyelids. The aim is to improve position and contour without creating an unnatural or surprised appearance.
In some cases, brow position is an important part of upper-face rejuvenation and should be assessed carefully rather than focusing on the eyelids alone.
Recovery
Recovery involves swelling settling over time
Swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness are expected during the early healing period. Patients are guided through recovery so they understand how the brow and upper face settle over time.
The result continues to refine as healing progresses and the tissues soften into a more natural resting position.
Risks & Considerations
Suitability depends on anatomy and treatment goals
A brow lift is not the right procedure for every patient with upper-face concerns. Brow position, forehead anatomy, skin quality, and overall facial balance all need to be assessed carefully during consultation.
Consultation & treatment planning
Discuss whether a brow lift is right for you
A consultation allows for a more detailed discussion of brow position, upper-face anatomy, suitability, and the most appropriate approach to facial rejuvenation.
