A brow lift may elevate drooping eyebrows, reduce forehead heaviness, soften selected forehead lines and improve an upper-eyelid appearance caused by a low brow position. The goal is to restore the brow to a more natural anatomical position rather than create an overcorrected look.

What is Brow Lift?
As we age, many people will notice that their brow will begin to droop. This occurs most commonly in the outer part of the brow, and will make the upper eyelid skin look heavy. Because of this many people may think that they need an upper eyelid surgery while they really need to elevate the brow.
Doing an upper lid surgery can actually allow the brow to drop further and make the eye appear heavier than before. If the central portion of the brow begins to fall patients may notice some horizontal lines forming at the bridge of the nose and the skin can appear very heavy there.
Properly placed Botulinum toxin can help to elevate a low brow. It will usually last for about 3-4 months at which time more will need to be injected. With time the injections may become less effective as the brow falls further. At that time a surgery will be a better option.
There are a variety of surgical options available to elevate the brow. For many patients, just elevating the temporal portion of the brow will be all that is needed. In others, a full brow or forehead lift will be a better choice. These can be done by themselves, or at the same time as an upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
The brow lift should elevate the brow into its proper anatomic position, and will not appear over corrected.
Before and After
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a brow lift or upper eyelid surgery?
A brow lift treats a low or descended eyebrow, while upper blepharoplasty removes excess upper-eyelid skin. Because brow drooping can make the eyelids appear heavy, both the brow position and eyelid skin should be evaluated before deciding which procedure is appropriate. Some patients may benefit from combining both procedures
What is the difference between a temporal brow lift and a full brow lift?
A temporal brow lift mainly elevates the outer portion of the eyebrows and may be suitable when drooping is concentrated near the temples. A full brow or forehead lift addresses a broader area, including central brow descent and forehead heaviness. The best technique depends on facial anatomy and treatment goals.
