Treatment overview
What this treatment can — and cannot — do.
A forehead or brow lift repositions descended brow tissue and can reduce heaviness around the upper face when brow position, rather than excess eyelid skin alone, is the main issue. Good planning separates brow descent from eyelid concerns so the correct area is treated.
Goal Elevate a low or heavy brow and improve upper-face balance when brow descent is the main concern. Elevate a low or heavy brow and improve upper-face balance when brow descent is the main concern.
Best fit Adults with brow descent or upper-face heaviness who are medically suitable and have been assessed to distinguish brow from eyelid problems. Adults with brow descent or upper-face heaviness who are medically suitable and have been assessed to distinguish brow from eyelid problems.

Recovery Swelling, bruising, tightness and temporary altered sensation can occur in the forehead or scalp during early healing. Swelling, bruising, tightness and temporary altered sensation can occur in the forehead or scalp during early healing.
The consultation separates the concern this treatment can address from problems that need another approach, so treatment is not recommended simply because a procedure is popular.

Potential fit When Forehead / Brow Lift Surgery may make sense
Forehead / Brow Lift Surgery may be suitable for adults with brow descent or upper-face heaviness who are medically suitable and have been assessed to distinguish brow from eyelid problems. Suitability also depends on medical history, examination and realistic expectations.
Realistic expectations What Forehead / Brow Lift Surgery cannot promise
A brow lift does not replace eyelid surgery when true eyelid skin excess is the main issue, and it cannot stop future ageing.
Treatment pathway
A clear plan from assessment to follow-up.
Brow position, forehead, eyelids and hairline assessment followed by individualized lift planning and follow-up.
01 Assessment Assess brow height, asymmetry, eyelid skin, forehead lines and hairline.
02 Planning Define whether the main problem is brow descent, eyelid excess or a combination.
03 Treatment Perform the planned lift with attention to natural brow shape.
04 Follow-up Review healing, sensation, brow position and return to normal activity.
Recovery & expectations
Recovery, downtime and what to expect.

Early Follow your aftercare plan Swelling, bruising, tightness and temporary altered sensation can occur in the forehead or scalp during early healing.
Short term Protect healing tissue Avoid activities that could irritate, stretch or traumatize the treated area until the advised stage of recovery.
Progress Judge the result at the right time Swelling and healing can temporarily distort the early appearance, so final assessment should follow the treatment-specific healing timeline.
Long term Maintain realistic expectations A brow lift does not replace eyelid surgery when true eyelid skin excess is the main issue, and it cannot stop future ageing.
