What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates sagging eyebrows, smooths forehead wrinkles, and reduces frown lines between the brows. By repositioning the underlying muscles and tissues, the procedure restores a more open, relaxed, and youthful appearance to the upper face.

When performed with precision, a brow lift enhances the eyes without creating a surprised or unnatural look. Techniques may also be customized to subtly lift the outer brow for a refined, elegant appearance.

Brow Lift Techniques Offered

Dr. Michelle Lee carefully selects the best technique based on your facial anatomy, hairline, degree of sagging, and desired outcome. 

Lateral (Temporal) Brow Lift

Targets the outer brow and crow’s feet through discreet temple incisions. Often chosen for subtle refinement or combined with facelift surgery.

Trichophytic Brow Lift

An incision along the hairline allows for more dramatic lift while preserving or advancing the hairline.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

A minimally invasive technique using small incisions hidden within the hairline. Ideal for patients seeking natural elevation with shorter recovery time.

Transpalpebral Brow Lift

Performed through the upper eyelid crease, allowing direct access to central brow muscles. Frequently combined with eyelid surgery.

Coronal Brow Lift

A traditional technique using a longer hairline incision for comprehensive brow repositioning in select cases.

What Happens During the Brow Lift Procedure?

Brow lift surgery is typically performed under sedation with local anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed within the hairline or eyelid crease to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Michelle Lee gently repositions and secures the brow tissues to restore youthful contour and balance.

  • Days 1–7: Swelling and bruising gradually subside
  • 1–2 Weeks: Most patients return to work and social activities
