What is Forehead lift?

A brow lift, or forehead lift, rejuvenates the upper face by elevating the eyebrows to a more youthful position, softening forehead creases, and reducing heaviness over the upper eyelids. It helps restore a refreshed and alert appearance while maintaining natural facial expression.

Usually performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthetic with sedation. Duration is typically 1–2 hours, and most patients go home the same day.

The brow lift provides a refreshed, open-eyed appearance with smoother forehead lines. Results are
long-lasting, though natural ageing continues. Scars are hidden within the hairline or natural skin creases
and fade progressively over 12–18 months.

  • Coronal Lift: incision across the scalp behind the hairline for significant brow descent.
