Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)

A brow lift (forehead lift) is a cosmetic procedure that:
✔ Elevates sagging eyebrows
✔ Smooths forehead wrinkles
✔ Reduces frown lines between brows
✔ Creates a more alert, youthful look

This procedure addresses signs of aging caused by:

  • Loss of skin elasticity

  • Repeated facial expressions

  • Gravity’s effects over time

Types of Brow Lift Procedures

1. Traditional (Coronal) Brow Lift

  • Best for: Significant sagging

  • Technique: Incision across scalp from ear to ear

  • Benefits: Most dramatic correction

  • Consideration: Longer recovery, visible scar

2. Endoscopic Brow Lift

  • Best for: Moderate sagging

  • Technique: 3-5 tiny incisions with camera guidance

  • Benefits: Minimal scarring, quicker recovery

  • Consideration: Less dramatic lift

3. Temporal (Limited Incision) Lift

  • Best for: Outer brow drooping

  • Technique: Incisions near temples only

  • Benefits: Natural-looking lateral lift

  • Consideration: Doesn’t address central forehead

✓ Sagging brows creating a “tired” appearance
