Elevating a low or asymmetric brow when forehead descent, not just extra eyelid skin, is driving a tired look.
A brow lift raises the eyebrows and smooths the forehead when the brow has dropped with age. Techniques include small incisions in the hairline with an endoscope, or an incision along the hairline.
A low brow can make the upper eyelids look heavier. Assessing the brow and eyelids together helps decide whether a brow lift, eyelid surgery or both would help.
These are general points only. Whether an operation is suitable for you is decided by the treating surgeon after an in-person examination, your medical history and any tests they request.
You share photos and your medical history. The surgeon gives a first opinion on whether the operation is suitable and what it could realistically achieve.
The surgeon examines you in person, confirms the plan, explains the risks and arranges pre-operative tests before you give consent.
Through small incisions in or at the hairline, the brow is lifted and secured in a higher position.
The surgeon reviews healing before you travel home, and you receive written aftercare instructions and remote follow-up.
Swelling and bruising are at their peak. You sleep with your head raised, use cold compresses as advised and avoid bending and heavy lifting.
Stitches are usually removed and much of the bruising fades. Some people feel comfortable in public with light make-up.
Most visible swelling settles, though some tightness or numbness can remain. Exercise is resumed gradually.
Residual swelling resolves and scars fade. The final result is usually judged after several months.
Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.
If the brow has dropped, eyelid surgery alone may not help. The surgeon assesses both to decide.
Some techniques can raise the hairline slightly. The surgeon chooses an approach that suits your forehead height.
It depends on the operation. Many are planned around one to two weeks so the surgeon can check you and remove stitches or drains before you fly. Flying soon after surgery raises the risk of blood clots, so your surgeon confirms when it is safe to travel.
The price depends on the operation the surgeon recommends after examining you, the hospital stay and any combined procedures. You receive a written, itemised quote before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
Share your details and a coordinator will reply with clear next steps. There is no obligation to proceed.
