What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and rejuvenate the eyebrows, reducing the appearance of forehead lines, sagging brows, and a heavy or tired look. Lifting and smoothing the brow area opens the eyes and creates a refreshed youthful appearance. The surgery is tailored to each patient’s anatomy, ensuring results that enhance natural facial harmony.

Specialized Brow Lift Techniques

Brow lifts are highly customizable procedures with several specialized techniques designed to meet individual goals and anatomy. Dr. Hagen offers the following advanced options to achieve tailored results:

Lateral Temporal Lift

This technique elevates the outer brow and smooths the temple area, providing a subtle, natural-looking lift.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

A minimally invasive option that uses small incisions and advanced tools to lift the brows, reduce forehead creases, and minimize recovery time.

Pretrichial Brow Lift

Ideal for patients with a high hairline, this approach lifts the brows while preserving or lowering the hairline for balanced proportions.

Hairline Lowering

This procedure adjusts the position of the hairline to reduce forehead length and create a harmonious balance between facial features.

Enhanced Eye Openness: A heavier brow no longer weighs down the eyes, making them appear brighter and more alert.

After Your Brow Lift: Recovery & Results

Recovery from a brow lift varies based on the technique used, but most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first 7–10 days.

Stitches or sutures are typically removed within a week, and any residual tightness or discomfort gradually subsides. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 10–14 days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for about 3–4 weeks.

Final results become more apparent as swelling diminishes over the next few months, revealing a smoother, lifted brow with a refreshed, youthful appearance. The longevity of results depends on factors like skin quality and lifestyle habits, but most patients enjoy their rejuvenated look for 10+ years. Regular skin care, sun protection, and complementary treatments like neuromodulators (e.g., BOTOX®) and laser skin resurfacing can help maintain long-term results.
