Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the brows and reduce signs of aging in the forehead area. A brow lift can smooth forehead wrinkles, improve frown lines, and restore a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
You may be a candidate for a brow lift if:
- You have sagging or drooping eyebrows
- You notice deep forehead wrinkles or furrows
- You have frown lines between the eyebrows
- You appear tired, angry, or stressed due to brow position
- You want a more refreshed and youthful appearance
Brow lift consultation
At your consultation we will discuss:
- Your goals and concerns
- Medical history, medications, and allergies
- Previous cosmetic procedures or surgeries
- Facial anatomy and skin quality
- Surgical options and expected outcomes
Dr. Tran and his team will review before and after photos to help you understand the results that may be possible.
Preparing for your brow lift procedure
Prior to surgery, patients may be instructed to:
- Obtain medical clearance if necessary
- Stop smoking before and after surgery
- Avoid anti-inflammatory medications and supplements
- Arrange transportation and postoperative support
- Prepare for recovery time at home

Brow lift techniques
Endoscopic brow lift
This minimally invasive technique uses small incisions hidden within the hairline and specialized instruments to reposition the brow and smooth forehead tissues.
Traditional brow lift
A traditional brow lift uses a longer incision hidden behind the hairline to address more significant brow sagging and forehead aging.
Temporal brow lift
This technique focuses on lifting the outer portion of the brows for subtle rejuvenation and improved eye appearance.
Incision closure
After repositioning the brows and smoothing the forehead tissues, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures or surgical clips.
What to expect after your brow lift procedure
After surgery, you will receive postoperative instructions that include:
- Incision and wound care
- Prescriptions for medications
- Follow-up appointments
- Activity limitations during healing

Brow lift recovery
Swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness are common after a brow lift. Most patients return to normal activities within one to two weeks, although complete healing continues over time.
Brow lift results
As swelling resolves, patients enjoy a smoother forehead, elevated brows, and a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Brow lift results are long lasting and can significantly improve facial harmony.
The first step toward brow rejuvenation is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Tran to discuss your personalized treatment plan.
