Brow Lift (Direct, Endoscopic, Temporolateral)

Lift and Smooth Your Brow Area for a More Youthful, Rested Look

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that addresses sagging eyebrows and forehead wrinkles, helping to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance. It improves the contour of the brow and smooths forehead lines. Depending on the technique used, different areas of the brow and forehead can be targeted for a natural lift.

There are several techniques available, including direct brow lift, endoscopic brow lift, and temporolateral brow lift. Each approach has its own benefits and is selected based on the patient’s goals, anatomy, and desired results.

Procedure Time: 1–2 hours
Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia
Downtime/Recovery: 1–2 weeks

    Surgical Procedure

    • Temporolateral Brow Lift: Incisions are placed near the temples, lifting the brow and tightening the forehead skin.

      • You’ll be monitored after surgery and given aftercare instructions to manage swelling and bruising.

      • You may need to wear a headband or dressing to support the brow during recovery.

      Yes, brow lifts are often combined with eyelid surgery, facelifts, or skin treatments for more comprehensive results.

    • What is the recovery time for a brow lift?
