Brow / Forehead Lift

Refresh Your Upper Face with a Brow Lift

Reposition sagging brows and smooth forehead lines for a brighter, more rested look

As collagen production slows and facial support tissues weaken, the brow and forehead are often the first areas to show visible signs of aging. You may appear tired, angry, or stressed—even if you feel great. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, restores a more youthful position to the brows and softens deep creases across the forehead and between the eyes.

At Allure Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Percy Lo performs personalized brow lift procedures to rejuvenate the upper face while maintaining a natural expression. The result is a smoother, lifted look that reflects your true energy and mood.

What a Brow Lift Can Improve

Restore harmony and youthfulness to your brow, forehead, and eye area

A brow lift can address multiple concerns caused by aging, gravity, and tissue laxity. Common improvements include:

  • Elevation of sagging or heavy brows

  • Restoration of a natural eyebrow arch

  • Reduction of deep horizontal forehead lines

  • Softening of frown lines between the eyebrows

  • Smoother skin across the upper face

  • A more open and alert eye appearance

  • Reduction in upper eyelid heaviness (sometimes delaying or replacing the need for eyelid surgery)

A brow lift can be performed on its own or combined with blepharoplasty, facelift, or non-surgical treatments like fillers or resurfacing for more comprehensive results.

Surgical Techniques and Customization

Choose between classic or minimally invasive methods based on your needs

Dr. Lo offers multiple techniques for brow lift surgery, selected based on your anatomy, skin condition, hairline, and aesthetic goals:

Classic (Coronal) Brow Lift

  • Involves an incision across the top of the scalp or hairline

  • Lifts and removes excess forehead skin

  • Best for patients with deep forehead lines or significant brow descent

  • Incision is placed to be hidden in the hair or along the natural hairline

Endoscopic Brow Lift

  • Performed using a tiny camera and small hidden incisions

  • Lifts the brow with internal sutures and gentle tissue repositioning

  • Minimally invasive, with quicker recovery and smaller scars

  • Ideal for early signs of aging or mild brow ptosis

Dr. Lo will help you determine which approach will offer the best balance of improvement, recovery time, and scar concealment.

What to Expect from Surgery and Recovery

Outpatient procedure with manageable downtime and lasting results

Brow lift surgery is typically performed under anesthesia and takes 1 to 2 hours. You’ll return home the same day with detailed instructions and support.

Post-op recovery includes:

  • Swelling and bruising for the first few days, especially around the eyes and forehead

  • Cold compresses and head elevation to reduce swelling

  • Light activity can resume in a few days; no strenuous activity for 2 weeks

  • Sutures or drains, if placed, are removed during a follow-up visit

  • Most patients return to work in 10–14 days (sooner if working from home)

Discomfort is usually minimal and well-managed with over-the-counter medication. Makeup can be used to camouflage bruising after the first few days, if needed.

Lifted, Natural Results That Last

Restore balance to your face and maintain a more youthful appearance

The final results of your brow lift will become more apparent over several weeks as swelling subsides and tissues settle into place. Incisions will continue to fade over time and can be concealed with your hairstyle or natural creases.

Your refreshed look can last many years, especially with good skin care and sun protection. While aging will continue, your brow and upper face will remain more youthful, balanced, and expressive than before surgery.

With Dr. Lo’s thoughtful, personalized approach, you’ll still look like yourself—just more rested, open, and confident.
