Elevate the brows and smooth wrinkles in the upper face. Excess skin is removed and tissues tightened to restore a rejuvenated forehead, eyebrow, and eyelid area.
Overview
Brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, elevates the brows and improves wrinkles in the upper portion of the face. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the tissues to restore a rejuvenated appearance in the forehead, eyebrow, and eyelid areas.

Techniques
Tailored approaches
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Utilizes several tiny incisions hidden within the hair. An endoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) allows Dr. Hua to see and adjust internal structures with precision.
- Minimal scarring concealed within the hairline
- Best for patients without significant excess skin
- Faster recovery time than a classic brow lift
Classic Brow Lift
Utilizes an incision hidden along or within the hairline above the forehead. Tissues are lifted and adjusted, excess skin is removed, and the new brow position is secured with sutures.
- Most dramatic correction for significant brow descent
- Removes more excess forehead skin than the endoscopic technique
- Some numbness behind the incision may persist for 9–12 months
Frequently Asked
Brow Lift questions, answered
At your consultation, Dr. Hua will evaluate your forehead and brow position and discuss your goals. The amount of correction you require and a variety of other factors are taken into consideration to help determine the right technique for your individual needs.
Facelift surgery, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and fat grafting are often combined with brow lift surgery to achieve complete facial rejuvenation.
Place your fingers just above your eyebrows and lift them into a more favorable position. If most of the skin in the upper eyelid is improved, a brow lift alone is most likely right for you. If excess tissue remains in the eyelid, eyelid surgery may also be needed to rejuvenate the eyes.
Sleep with your back and head elevated for the first five to seven days, and mild activities such as walking can be performed during this time. Most patients return to work one week after surgery, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting must be avoided for at least a few weeks.
