Brow & Forehead Lift Procedure Options
At Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery, several surgical techniques may be used depending on your anatomy and goals:

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results of a brow and forehead lift last?
Results are long-lasting and can remain noticeable for many years, depending on aging and lifestyle factors. On average, patients enjoy a more youthful, alert appearance for 10 to 15 years. While surgery “resets the clock,” factors like genetics, sun exposure, and smoking can affect how quickly natural aging progresses following the procedure.
Is brow and forehead lift surgery painful?
In most cases, discomfort is mild and can be managed with medications during recovery. Most individuals describe the sensation as a feeling of tightness or moderate pressure rather than sharp pain. Your surgeon will provide prescription pain relief to manage any initial soreness, though many patients find over-the-counter options sufficient after the first few days.
How long is the recovery after a brow and forehead lift?
Most patients return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with continued improvement as swelling subsides. or the first 48 hours, prioritizing head elevation and the use of cold compresses will significantly aid in decreasing swelling and bruising across the upper face. While most social downtime ends after 14 days, you should avoid strenuous exercise for at least 3 to 4 weeks for proper healing.
Will there be visible scars?
A technique such as an endoscopic brow lift leaves very little scarring, which is typically hidden within the hairline after surgery. The endotine lift also leaves little scarring. Unlike traditional methods that require a longer incision across the scalp, the endoscopic approach uses a few small incisions, each less than an inch long, that are virtually invisible once the hair grows back.
Can a brow lift improve hooded eyelids?
Lifting the brow can reduce heaviness over the upper eyelids and create a more open appearance. By elevating the brow to its natural position, the procedure pulls excess skin away from the lids, which can also help clear a partially obstructed field of vision. To achieve a total eye rejuvenation, many patients opt to pair their brow lift with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to address more significant hooding.
Am I too old for a brow and forehead lift?
Age is less important than overall health and skin condition. A consultation will determine candidacy. Most candidates are in their 40s to 60s, but older patients in good physical health with sufficient skin elasticity can still achieve excellent results. Conversely, younger patients may seek a lift if they have inherited heavy brows that create a tired or “angry” expression.
Will a brow lift change the shape of my eyes?
While the procedure does not change the eyes’ structural shape, it creates a more “open” and refreshed look. By removing the downward pressure of a sagging brow, it reveals more of the upper eyelid, making the eyes appear brighter and more alert without altering your natural facial identity.
