Lift Your Brows & Restore Youthful Appearance
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to raise eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles and creases in the forehead. During the procedure, your surgeon makes incisions in the hairline or just above the eyebrows, lifting the skin and muscles to create a smoother appearance. Brow lift surgery can be performed alone or with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as eyelid surgery or facelift. The result is a more alert, refreshed, and natural-looking appearance.

What Happens During Brow Lift Surgery?

Through these incisions, he will lift and reposition the skin and underlying muscles to create a more youthful appearance. The surgery takes 1-2 hours to complete.
