What is a brow lift?

A brow lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that repositions your forehead to raise the brow, reduce wrinkles and give you a more youthful appearance.
As you age, your skin loses elasticity. The accumulated effect of sun damage weakens skin and gravity pulls your brow down, which causes wrinkles. On your forehead, you may have “frown lines” between your eyebrows that make you look serious or angry. You may also develop horizontal lines. The outside of your brow may sag, which makes you look sad or tired because of drooping eyebrows. If you’re looking to correct these natural changes to your body, a brow lift might be right for you.
Other names for a brow lift are:

• Forehead lift.

• Forehead rejuvenation.

• Browplasty.

• Temporal brow lift (lateral brow lift).
   

What does a brow lift do?

A brow lift procedure corrects:

• Creases or wrinkles in your forehead, the horizontal lines across your forehead and on the bridge of your nose.

• Vertical frown lines between your eyebrows, also known as the “11s.”

• Sagging eyebrows (hooded eyes) to make your eyebrows look more youthful and awake.
   

Will a brow lift change my eye shape?

No, a brow lift won’t change the shape of your eyes or fix baggy eyelids. A brow lift will affect your eyebrows and forehead.

Who is a candidate for a brow lift?

You may be a candidate for a brow lift if you:

• Are physically healthy.

• Are a nonsmoker.

• Have realistic goals about the outcome of the surgery.

Your healthcare provider will go over your complete medical history and discuss your goals for the procedure to see if you’re a candidate for a brow lift.
