Brow and Forehead Lift in NYC

It is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper third of the face by lifting the brows, elevating descended forehead tissues, and smoothing deep forehead and frown lines. Because the forehead and brows function as a connected unit, modern techniques address them together for a natural, balanced result.

Ideal candidates have low or drooping brows, forehead heaviness, deep wrinkles, “11s” between the brows, or upper-eyelid hooding caused by brow descent. Patients seeking long-lasting improvement beyond injectables often benefit most.

Techniques include endoscopic lifts (minimally invasive), temporal/lateral lifts (outer brow and temple), coronal lifts (most comprehensive), and hybrid approaches tailored to brow asymmetry or specific regions.

Incisions are typically hidden in the scalp behind the hairline or placed within natural creases. The exact placement depends on the chosen technique, hairline position, and goals.

No. When performed correctly, a brow & forehead lift opens the eye area by lifting heaviness above the lids, but it should not change your natural eye shape. The goal is a refreshed, not altered, appearance.

No. Modern techniques prioritize natural elevation and proper vector control, avoiding an over-arched or “surprised” look. Your surgeon customizes the lift to your anatomy and aesthetic preferences.

Results typically last many years. Because the deeper tissues are repositioned—not just tightened—improvement in brow position and forehead smoothness remains long-term, although natural aging continues.

Most patients resume normal activities within 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising usually improve significantly during the first week. Full refinement of results may take several weeks to a few months.
