A heavy, sagging brow can create an expression that looks tired, angry, or aged even when you feel energized and happy. If your upper face is beginning to droop or your eyebrows have lost their natural arch, a brow lift can elevate and smooth the area for a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers brow lift surgery to help patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ achieve natural improvements in their upper facial contours. His approach focuses on lifting and reshaping without looking “overdone.”
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, sometimes called a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgery that raises the position of the eyebrows and smooths forehead lines. It is often used to correct a low or flat brow, soften horizontal creases, and minimize frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines).
Brow lift surgery can:
- Elevate drooping or flat brows
- Open up the eye area for a brighter appearance
- Reduce forehead wrinkles and creases
- Improve the symmetry of the eyebrows
- Create a more alert, approachable expression
The result is a smoother, more lifted look that still feels like you—just refreshed.
Types of Brow Lift Techniques
Dr. Brandow selects the technique based on your anatomy, aging pattern, and goals. Common methods include:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Uses small incisions hidden in the hairline and a tiny camera to lift and reposition brow tissue. This approach offers quicker healing and minimal scarring.
- Coronal Brow Lift: Involves a longer incision across the scalp (within the hair) to allow full lifting and smoothing. Typically used for more advanced cases.
- Lateral or Temporal Brow Lift: Targets the outer third of the brow, ideal for patients with heaviness on the sides of the face.
Dr. Brandow will explain which method fits your needs during your consultation.
What to Expect During and After Surgery
Brow lift surgery is performed in a private, certified surgical center under IV sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure takes about 1 to 2 hours, and recovery is relatively straightforward.
Most patients experience:
- Swelling and mild discomfort for a few days
- Return to light activities within a week
- A natural-looking lift that continues to improve as healing progresses
Any incisions are carefully hidden in the hairline or along natural creases and typically heal with minimal visibility.
Who Should Consider a Brow Lift?
You may benefit from a brow lift if you:
- Have a heavy, sagging brow or forehead
- Notice a “hooded” appearance over the eyes
- Appear tired or angry even when well-rested
- Want to improve the look of your upper face without altering your natural expression
Dr. Brandow will assess your facial proportions and muscle activity to determine if a brow lift—or a combination with eyelid surgery—is appropriate for your goals.
