Brow Lift

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a targeted surgical procedure designed to elevate the brow position and smooth the upper face. At DR Surgery, we focus on two highly effective, minimally invasive techniques:

Direct Brow Lift
Incisions are placed discreetly just above the brow, allowing direct elevation and control. This technique is particularly effective for patients with heavier brows or asymmetry, offering reliable, predictable results.

Gliding Brow Lift
A refined technique that allows the brow to be mobilised and repositioned through minimal access, preserving natural movement while achieving a softer elevation. Ideal for patients seeking subtle, elegant lifting without obvious change.

These procedures can address:

• Heavy or sagging brows
• Tired or stern facial appearance
• Forehead lines
• Mild upper eyelid hooding related to brow descent

Where appropriate, brow lift surgery may be combined with blepharoplasty for a more comprehensive upper face rejuvenation.

How Brow Lift Surgery Works

Brow lift surgery is performed as a minor day-case procedure under local anaesthetic, with or without light sedation.

• Procedure time: 45–90 minutes
• No overnight stay required
• A more precise elevation tailored to your facial proportions
• Fine suturing techniques used to optimise healing and scar quality

You return home the same day with a structured aftercare plan.

Why Choose a Brow Lift?

While non-surgical treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections can offer temporary lift, these surgical techniques provide a structural and long-lasting solution.

Benefits include:

• Natural, controlled brow elevation
• Improved upper eyelid openness
• Softer, more rested facial expression
• Long-lasting results
• Performed under local anaesthetic
• Minimal downtime compared to more extensive facial surgery

Who Is Suitable for a Brow Lift?

You may be suitable if you have:

• Low or heavy brow position
• Forehead lines or tension
• Mild eyelid hooding due to brow descent
• Desire for a natural, subtle refresh
• Good general health and realistic expectations

A detailed consultation will determine whether a direct brow lift or gliding brow lift is most appropriate.
