What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, or forehead lift, revitalizes a drooping or furrowed forehead. Descended brows can make you look angry, tired or sad even when you feel great. Your surgeon removes or modifies muscle and tissue above the eyes to:
- Smooth horizontal forehead lines
- Reduce vertical frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines)
- Raise the brows to a younger, natural position
Injections alone or eyelid surgery alone can't fully correct descended brows, the main cause of a tired look. Results vary by patient.

Brow Lift Techniques
Coronal Brow Lift
A "headphone-shaped" incision behind the hairline from ear to ear lets Dr. Wisser lift the skin, remove excess tissue and modify the corrugator muscles that cause frown lines. It is closed with sutures or clips. This most comprehensive option suits patients with a low hairline or significant brow descent.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Three to five incisions under one inch long, hidden behind the hairline, with a tiny camera (endoscope) guiding surgery. It typically means less numbness and itching, minimal scarring and faster recovery, and is best for moderate descent with a normal or high hairline.
Procedures may be performed at our accredited Reliant Surgical Center.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Forehead Lift?
Most patients are between 40 and 65 and have:
- Descended brows from aging, genetics or sun damage
- Horizontal forehead lines or frown lines
- Good overall health and realistic expectations
Brow Lift or Eyelid Surgery: Which Do I Need?
A brow lift does not correct excess upper eyelid skin below the brow; that needs blepharoplasty. Combining both gives a more complete upper-face result, and a brow lift often pairs with a facelift. Injection treatments soften lines but cannot fully correct descended brows.
Brow Lift Recovery
- Bandages are removed after one to two days.
- Sutures are removed at about two weeks.
- Most patients return to light activity and work in 7 to 10 days.
- Swelling and bruising fade over two to three weeks.
- Temporary scalp numbness and itching resolve over several months.
