Eyebrow Lift: Rejuvenating the Upper Face for a Youthful Look
An eyebrow lift addresses drooping eyebrows and forehead sagging to restore a more youthful, alert appearance and open up the eye area.
What Is It?
An eyebrow lift surgically raises the position of drooping eyebrows and smooths forehead wrinkles by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Individuals with drooping or sagging eyebrows
- Those with deep forehead wrinkles
- People with hooded eyes due to brow descent
- Anyone seeking upper facial rejuvenation
- Individuals looking tired despite adequate rest
The Procedure
Performed under local or general anesthesia, taking 1-2 hours. Various techniques include endoscopic, temporal, or direct approaches. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
Recovery

Benefits

Risks & Considerations
