What is Brow Lift Surgery?
Brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to address common signs of aging in the brow and forehead region. As we age, the skin of the forehead may gradually descend, resulting in a heavy, drooping brow and deep forehead creases and frown lines. Brow lift surgery aims to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance by lifting and repositioning the excess skin, brow tissues, and upper eyelids to a higher, more youthful position.
Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery
Brow lift surgery offers a range of benefits, including:
- Correction of a heavy or sagging brow
- Smoothing of brow furrows, forehead wrinkles and creases
- Lifted and rejuvenated appearance of upper eyelid skin and the upper face
- Enhanced symmetry and balance of facial features
- Boosted self-confidence and improved overall facial harmony

Preparing for Brow Lift Surgery
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Hartline.

Dr. Hartline will provide detailed instructions to prepare you for the procedure, including any necessary pre-operative tests and medication adjustments.
Your Brow Lift Procedure
Brow lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preferences and the complexity of the surgery. Dr. Hartline employs advanced surgical techniques to lift the forehead skin and reposition the brow tissues, resulting in a natural and harmonious outcome. Small incisions and sutures are strategically placed within the hairline or along the natural creases of the forehead to minimize visible scarring.
Recovery After Brow Lift Surgery
Following your brow lift surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Dr. Hartline will provide detailed post-operative instructions to facilitate a smooth and comfortable recovery process. Most patients can resume normal activities within 7-10 days, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

FAQs About Brow Lift Surgery
Who is a good candidate for brow lift surgery?
Ideal candidates are individuals bothered by a heavy or sagging brow, deep forehead lines, or asymmetry in the upper face.
Is brow lift surgery painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the recovery period, which can be effectively managed with prescribed medication.
How long do the results of a brow lift last?
While individual results may vary, the effects of brow lift surgery are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated and youthful appearance for years to come.
What’s the difference between a brow lift and an endoscopic brow lift?
The primary difference between a traditional brow lift and an endoscopic brow lift lies in their surgical approaches. While both aim to rejuvenate the brow area, a traditional brow lift involves a single continuous incision along the hairline or within forehead creases, allowing for comprehensive correction but potentially resulting in more noticeable scarring and longer recovery times. On the other hand, an endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure with smaller incisions and the use of an endoscope for precise visualization and manipulation of tissues, leading to minimal scarring, shorter recovery periods, and potentially more natural-looking results. Dr. Hartline can offer personalized guidance to help patients choose the most suitable approach based on their unique needs and goals.
Can brow lift surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes, brow lift surgery can be combined with complementary surgical procedures such as eyelid surgery, also known as eyelid lift, facelift, neck lift, or injectable treatments like fillers and Botox for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Hartline will tailor a treatment plan to address your specific goals and concerns.
