An eyebrow lift results in a higher eyebrow position
The position of the eyebrows can influence the appearance of the forehead and upper eyelids. In some cases, a lower brow position may contribute to the appearance of excess upper eyelid skin or changes in forehead contours.
An eyebrow lift is a surgical procedure that adjusts the brow position, helping to refine forehead lines and alter the overall balance of facial features.
The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia or sedation and usually takes between 1.5 to 2 hours. Recovery generally takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on individual healing.
Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality care, offering thorough preoperative consultations and attentive post-operative support to ensure a professional and patient-centred experience.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and results vary between individuals. It is important to consider all options carefully and seek professional medical advice before proceeding.
General risks & complications that are common to all procedures can be found here.
Specific risks and complications of a brow lift may include:
- Temporary numbness, which may sometimes become permanent due to nerve damage.
- Intense itchiness, as the nerves heal, which usually subsides within a few months.
- Limited or weak forehead movement, in the initial days after surgery.
- Rare cases of permanent nerve injury, can cause eyebrow asymmetry and may require corrective surgery.
- Slight raising of the hairline, after the procedure.
- Temporary hair loss, around the treated area.
- Hair thinning or loss, near the incision line.
- Possible need for revision surgery, to address complications.
- Pain, swelling, and bruising, around the treated area.
