Elevate the eyebrows and reduce wrinkles
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that elevates the eyebrows and reduces the appearance of forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin. This rejuvenating surgery repositions the brows to a more youthful, natural-looking height, opening up the eye area and enhancing facial harmony. It is an excellent solution for those experiencing signs of aging or asymmetry that contribute to a tired or stern appearance. Sometimes this procedure can be combined with hairline lowering surgery for a more balanced effect. Dr. Nadimi uses advanced techniques to ensure subtle, balanced, and long-lasting results.
Brow lift treats:
- Sagging or drooping eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Deep frown lines between the eyebrows
- Asymmetrical eyebrow positioning
- A tired, stern, or aged appearance
- Excess skin causing heaviness above the eyes
- Limited visibility due to low eyebrow positioning
How brow lift works
A brow lift elevates and repositions the brow area to restore a more youthful, natural contour. Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Nadimi may use one of several techniques, including the endoscopic brow lift, trichophytic brow lift, coronal brow lift, or temporal brow lift. The endoscopic approach involves small incisions hidden within the hairline, through which a specialized camera and instruments are used to release and reposition the brow. This technique minimizes scarring and downtime while ensuring precise adjustments to underlying tissues.
For patients with a high hairline, a trichophytic brow lift can be performed. This technique involves making an incision along the hairline to both reduce forehead height and lift the brows. The temporal brow lift focuses on the outer brow and uses smaller incisions. Dr. Nadimi meticulously adjusts and secures the soft tissues, ensuring symmetry and natural results before closing the incisions with fine sutures or staples.

- Opens up the eye area for a more refreshed appearance
- Improves facial symmetry and balance
- Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Minimizes heaviness above the eyes for improved visibility
- Customizable techniques to address individual needs
Brow lift FAQs
Will I Have Visible Scars After a Brow Lift?
Dr. Nadimi takes great care to minimize visible scarring. The incisions are strategically placed either within the hairline or along the natural contours of the face to ensure scars are discreet. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable with proper care. Dr. Nadimi may also recommend post-surgical treatments to optimize healing and scar appearance.
How Long Does a Brow Lift Surgery Take?
A brow lift typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the technique used and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, Dr. Nadimi will explain the surgical plan and expected timeline, ensuring you know what to expect on the day of your procedure.
What is Recovery Like After a Brow Lift?
Recovery varies by individual and technique, but most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the forehead area for the first few days. You’ll need to rest with your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for about two weeks. Most people can return to work and normal routines within 10 to 14 days. Dr. Nadimi provides detailed aftercare instructions and follows up closely to ensure optimal healing.
Will a Brow Lift Make Me Look Unnatural or Surprised?
Not at all. Dr. Nadimi specializes in achieving natural, balanced results. Her approach focuses on restoring youthful positioning without over-correcting or creating an artificial appearance. The goal is to enhance your natural features while maintaining your unique facial expressions.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a brow lift if you have sagging brows, deep forehead wrinkles, or prominent frown lines that make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results. Dr. Nadimi will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if this procedure is right for you.
How Long Do the Results of a Brow Lift Last?
The results of a brow lift are long-lasting, often enduring for 10 years or more. While the natural aging process will continue, the improvements achieved will remain noticeable. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care can help prolong your results.
