What Is a Facelift Brow Lift?

The brow and forehead together form the upper third of the face, encompassing the area from the eyebrows up to the hairline. The brow frames the eyes and plays a key role in facial expression, while the forehead contributes to the overall contour and balance of the face. These structures influence how emotions such as surprise, concern, and friendliness are perceived. Their shape, height, and position—along with skin smoothness—affect both youthful appearance and facial harmony.

How Is a Brow / Forehead Lift Different From a Regular Facelift?

A facelift primarily addresses signs of aging in the mid to lower face, targeting sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. In contrast, a brow or forehead lift specifically rejuvenates the upper face, focusing on the area above the eyes. It corrects descended brows, forehead lines, and deep furrows between the eyebrows. While a facelift relocates deeper tissue layers, a brow enhancement elevates the eyebrow region and smooths upper facial skin. Both operations can be performed simultaneously for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, yet they address entirely separate areas.

Does Recovery After a Brow / Forehead Lift Take Long?

Recovery duration varies according to the chosen surgical method. Minimally invasive techniques like endoscopic or temporal enhancements often result in decreased bruising and quicker resumption of daily activities—usually within seven to fourteen days. Open procedures such as coronal or pretrichial enhancements may cause slightly increased swelling or temporary scalp sensation changes, with full recovery spanning multiple weeks. Most patients feel ready to return to professional duties after 10–14 days. Vigorous physical activities should be postponed for a minimum of four to six weeks, and final results continue to improve over months.
