What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is designed to address a sinking or deeply furrowed brow. This procedure is often performed to reduce frown lines that develop across the forehead and bridge of the nose, particularly with age. It can also raise the eyebrows to a higher position that may appear alert.

A brow lift aims to revise facial appearance and change signs of age by:

  • Elevating the brow
  • Smoothing out forehead wrinkles
  • Reducing frown lines

This procedure is performed under a general anaesthesia in an accredited hospital facility by a qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon.

Who is a Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift procedure could be considered if you have sinking brows, forehead wrinkles or brow asymmetry. Candidates for brow lift surgery include both men and women, and are typically between 40 and 65 years old.

In general, a candidate for brow lift surgery is someone who:

  • Has sinking of the eyebrows
  • Has deep creases in the forehead
  • Has realistic expectations regarding what the procedure can achieve
  • Is in good overall health
