As we age, our forehead and brow area often betray us first, with drooping eyebrows and deep forehead lines making us appear tired, angry, or older than we feel. These changes can affect not only your appearance but also your confidence in both personal and professional settings. Many people find themselves unconsciously raising their eyebrows throughout the day to combat this heaviness, leading to muscle tension and even headaches.

At Aesthetic Polyclinic, we offer advanced brow lift procedures that can help restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance to your upper face. To learn how a brow lift can help you achieve natural-looking results, contact us to schedule your consultation.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates and reshapes the brow area to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This procedure addresses sagging eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows by adjusting the underlying muscles and tissues while removing excess skin.

What Are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?

A brow lift can transform your appearance, offering both aesthetic and functional improvements to your upper face. This sophisticated procedure has become increasingly popular due to its ability to create natural-looking rejuvenation with lasting results.

Some of the key benefits include:

  • Long-lasting results that look natural and maintain your unique facial expressions
  • Enhanced eye area appearance, creating a more alert, approachable, and refreshed look
  • Significant reduction in deep forehead lines and stubborn frown lines that can make you appear stern or angry
  • Versatility to combine with other facial procedures like eyelid surgery or facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation
  • Improved self-confidence and positive self-image in both personal and professional settings
  • Minimized appearance of facial aging in the upper third of the face
  • Reduction in muscle tension from constantly raising your eyebrows
  • Potential relief from temporal headaches caused by forehead muscle strain
  • Correction of asymmetry in the brow area for more balanced facial features
  • Prevention of further skin laxity and drooping in the upper face

What Concerns Can Be Treated With a Brow Lift?

A brow lift effectively addresses multiple aging concerns in the upper face:

  • Drooping eyebrows that create a tired or stern appearance
  • Horizontal forehead creases and wrinkles
  • Deep frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Excess skin and tissue causing upper eyelid hooding
  • Asymmetrical brow position
  • Facial aging in the upper third of the face

Who Is a Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift can be an excellent solution for many people seeking facial rejuvenation, but determining if you’re a good candidate requires careful consideration of several factors. The ideal timing for a brow lift varies from person to person — some patients may benefit from early intervention in their 40s, while others may choose to wait until their 50s or 60s. The key is not your age, but rather the degree of sagging and facial aging you’re experiencing.

You may be an ideal candidate for a brow lift if you are physically healthy and have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.

Good candidates typically:

  1. Are in good overall health with no uncontrolled medical conditions
  2. Don’t smoke or are willing to quit before surgery and throughout recovery
  3. Experience visible signs of aging in the brow area, such as drooping eyebrows or deep furrows
  4. Have good skin elasticity, which helps ensure optimal healing and results
  5. Maintain a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect results
  6. Have realistic goals for the procedure and understand both its benefits and limitations
  7. Are not taking blood-thinning medications, or can safely pause them before surgery
  8. Have a positive outlook on the procedure and process

It’s important to note that certain medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors might affect your candidacy or require additional preparation before surgery. Additionally, if you have very thin or fragile skin or significant sun damage, we may recommend alternative or complementary treatments to help you achieve your desired results.

The Brow Lift Treatment

Your brow lift journey at Aesthetic Polyclinic is a carefully planned process designed to deliver optimal results while prioritizing your safety and comfort. Each stage of treatment is personalized to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, with our experienced surgical team guiding you through every step. Below, we’ll walk you through what to expect during your brow lift experience.

Preparation

Before your brow lift, you’ll receive detailed instructions to help ensure optimal results. You may need to adjust certain medications, stop smoking, and arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure. We’ll provide a comprehensive list of pre-operative instructions and answer any questions you have about preparing for surgery.

Procedure

Depending on your specific needs and goals, your surgeon may recommend either a traditional or endoscopic approach. The traditional brow lift technique involves an incision that runs along or slightly behind the natural hairline. While this approach provides the surgeon with optimal access and control for more extensive corrections, the incision is carefully placed to ensure minimal visible scarring once healed.

The endoscopic approach is a more minimally invasive option that uses several small incisions hidden within the hairline. Through these incisions, a tiny camera and specialized instruments allow the surgeon to precisely adjust the underlying tissues. This technique typically results in less scarring and shorter recovery time, making it an excellent choice for patients with mild to moderate brow drooping who are seeking subtle enhancement.

Recovery

Following your brow lift, recovery progresses through several stages. Here’s what you can typically expect during your healing journey:

  • First 24-48 Hours. During this immediate recovery period, you’ll need dedicated rest and support from a caregiver. You may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and tightness in your forehead. You’ll need to keep your head elevated, even while sleeping, and apply cold compresses as directed to help minimize swelling.
  • Days 3-7. Bruising and swelling typically peak around day three before gradually improving. You’ll continue following specific aftercare instructions, including keeping incisions clean and dry. Many patients feel well enough to work remotely from home, though you’ll still need to prioritize rest and healing.
  • Days 7-14. Most visible bruising subsides, though some residual swelling remains. Sutures are typically removed during this period if non-dissolvable ones are used. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities, though you may wish to use makeup to conceal any remaining bruising.
  • Weeks 2-4. You’ll notice a continued improvement in swelling, and the sensation in your forehead gradually returns to normal. Light exercise can usually be resumed after week two, with your surgeon’s approval. However, strenuous activities and heavy lifting should still be avoided.
  • Weeks 4-6. Most patients can return to their full exercise routine and all normal activities. Any residual numbness or tightness continues to improve. Your forehead may still feel slightly firm, which is normal and will continue to soften over time.
  • Months 3-6. Final results become fully apparent as all residual swelling resolves and tissues settle into their new position. The incision lines continue to mature and fade.

Throughout your recovery, our team will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns. You’ll receive detailed instructions for each stage of recovery, including when you can safely resume specific activities and how to care for your incisions for optimal healing.

Results

You’ll begin to see initial improvements once the swelling subsides, with final results becoming apparent over two to three months. Results from a brow lift are long-lasting, though natural aging will continue. Most patients enjoy their refreshed appearance for many years, especially when maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine.
