Forehead Lift
—
A brow lift (also commonly called an eyebrow lift or a forehead lift) raises a low or heavy brow and softens forehead lines to reveal a brighter, more refreshed appearance. It improves visible signs of aging near the forehead and eyebrow.
At Appleby Plastic Surgery, your brow lift will be tailored to your anatomy and goals. Whether you're looking to smooth deep creases or open up the eye area, we’ll recommend the most appropriate technique for safe, precise results.
A brow lift involves adjusting the tissue and muscles beneath the skin to elevate the brows and improve forehead contours. We choose the technique based on your facial structure, desired outcome, and whether you’re combining the procedure with others such as eyelid surgery. A brow lift cannot stop aging. However, it can improve the most visible signs of aging.
Techniques we offer include:
works—
how it
Endoscopic brow lift
the least invasive technique; uses small incisions behind the hairline
Temporal lift
targets the outer brow through short incisions at the temples
Classic coronal lift
a more comprehensive lift with a hidden incision along the scalp
In general, here’s what patients can expect after surgery:
Tightness or numbness near the incision areas, which fades over time.
Supportive dressing for the first few days.
Sleeping on your back with your head elevated for 1 to 2 weeks.
Your surgeon and nurse will walk you through your personalized recovery plan.

why choose
Incisions are placed in the hairline or temple crease and fade significantly over time. We use careful closure techniques to make scarring as minimal as possible.
What’s the pain level and downtime?
Pain is typically mild (3 to 4 out of 10). Bruising and swelling improve within 7 to 10 days, and most patients return to desk work in a week.
Can this be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine brow lifts with eyelid surgery, a facelift, or injectable treatments for full facial rejuvenation.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Botox or fillers may offer a temporary lift, but only surgery can reposition the underlying tissue for longer-lasting improvement.

Will there be visible scars?
Aging and facial animation can reverse a brow lift by pulling the treated area down. Results typically last 10 to 15 years. Lifestyle, sun protection, and skincare can help preserve your outcome.
