About This Procedure
A brow lift involves planned incisions (often within the hairline or natural creases) to reposition tissue.

Key Benefits
The goal of a brow lift is to address specific structural features identified at assessment. Potential physical changes may include:
Reduction of upper‑lid hooding contributed to by brow position (where relevant).
Change in forehead contour and soft tissue drape (individual variation applies).
Symmetry cannot be guaranteed, and outcomes vary with anatomy and healing.

Ideal Candidate
A suitable candidate is generally a healthy adult who has concerns related to brow position or forehead tissue laxity, understands that outcomes vary, and is comfortable with the presence of scars and recovery time.
You May Be a Good Candidate If
- You have brow position concerns that are not adequately addressed by non‑surgical options.
- You would like assessment for brow position and upper‑face changes.
- You understand that scars are permanent and vary in appearance.
- You can take time for recovery and attend follow‑up appointments.
- You do not smoke or can cease nicotine use as directed.
Who Should Not Undergo This Procedure
This procedure/treatment may not be appropriate if you:
- Uncontrolled medical conditions increasing risk.
- Inability to stop nicotine use when required.
- Expectation of a scar‑free or guaranteed outcome.
Surgical Techniques & Approaches
Technique selection is individual and based on your anatomy, goals and safety considerations. Options may include:
- Endoscopic brow lift (selected cases): smaller incisions within the hairline with tissue repositioning.
- Hairline or coronal approach (selected cases): incisions placed to allow broader access; scar location varies.
- Direct brow lift (selected cases): may be considered in specific clinical situations; scar trade‑offs are discussed.
Your clinician/surgeon will explain the recommended approach and expected trade‑offs during consultation.
Anesthesia
Often performed under general anaesthesia or sedation with local anaesthesia, depending on extent and patient factors.
Pre-Operative Preparation
You will receive individual instructions. Common requirements may include:
- Medication and supplement review, including anything that can increase bleeding risk (as advised).
- Nicotine cessation for the recommended period before and after treatment/surgery (if applicable).
- Planning time off work, transport, and at-home support (where relevant).
- Fasting instructions prior to anaesthesia (if applicable).
- Pre-operative assessments/tests as advised by your treating team.
Recovery Process
Swelling and bruising are common in the early period and typically improve over 1–2 weeks, but recovery varies. Temporary numbness or tightness of the scalp can occur. Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, hair loss around incisions (uncommon), nerve injury (rare), and the possibility of revision surgery. Scar maturation occurs over months.
