What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, or forehead lift, reduces wrinkles and can result in a more youthful appearance to the upper are of your face. Areas affected by a brow lift include:

  • The horizontal wrinkles across your forehead
  • Wrinkles on the bridge of your nose
  • Wrinkles between your eyes and eyebrows
  • Frown lines
  • Sagging brows that hood your upper eyelids.

Brow lifts can be done at the same time as a face lift or cosmetic surgery on the nose.

About the Procedure

Your LSU surgeon will go over the possible brow lift techniques and will choose one depending on your desired outcome. This procedure can be done in your surgeon's office, in a hospital as a same-day case, or in an outpatient surgery facility. The brow lift should take less than two hours, and local anesthesia will typically be used. Your LSU surgeon will outline what to expect and the post-operative care required. As with any surgical procedure, recovery time will vary from patient to patient. Most patients can return to work within 10 days, and can resume regular activities within a few week.
