Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of sagging or drooping eyebrows. It can help to rejuvenate the face and make you look younger.
How is a Brow Lift Performed?
Brow lift surgery can be performed in several ways, depending on your individual needs and preferences. Common techniques include:
• Endoscopic brow lift: This involves making small incisions behind the hairline and using a special camera to lift the eyebrows.
• Coronal brow lift: This involves making a longer incision behind the hairline from ear to ear.
• Temporal brow lift: This involves making a small incision in the temple.
During the procedure, the surgeon lifts and tightens the forehead muscles, and may also remove excess skin.

While a brow lift can be a safe and effective way to improve your appearance, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. These may include:
• Scarring: Incisions can leave visible scars.
• Asymmetrical results: It may be difficult to achieve perfectly symmetrical results.
• Numbness or loss of sensation: You may experience numbness or loss of sensation in your forehead.
• Infection: There is a risk of infection after any surgery.
• Blood clots: There is a small risk of developing blood clots in the legs or lungs after any surgery.
