A well-defined brow can dramatically enhance facial harmony and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Over time, the effects of aging, gravity, and muscle activity can cause the brows to descend, creating a heavy or tired look. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the brow position, smooth forehead wrinkles, and rejuvenate the upper face.
The coronal brow lift is a traditional and comprehensive approach to brow elevation. This technique involves an incision made across the scalp, hidden within the hairline, from ear to ear. By carefully lifting and repositioning the forehead tissues, this procedure effectively corrects significant brow ptosis (sagging) and deep forehead wrinkles. The coronal brow lift provides long-lasting and dramatic results, making it an ideal choice for patients with substantial brow descent.
Pros:
Provides the most significant and long-lasting elevation
Effectively smooths deep forehead lines and wrinkles
Creates a balanced and youthful brow position
A temporal or lateral brow lift is a less invasive alternative that targets the outer portion of the eyebrows. This technique involves smaller incisions placed within the hairline at the temples, allowing for a subtle elevation of the lateral brow without affecting the central forehead. The temporal brow lift is particularly effective for patients who want a more refreshed and natural-looking improvement without the downtime of a full coronal lift.
Shorter recovery time and less invasive
Preserves natural forehead movement and avoids an overly tight appearance
Ideal for patients seeking a subtle, lateral brow elevation
The ideal brow lift technique depends on your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and degree of brow descent.

Upper Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to correct hooded eyelids
Facelift to address lower face sagging and jowls
Non-Surgical Treatments such as Botox or fillers to further refine results
