Forehead lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reposition descended forehead tissues, elevate drooping eyebrows, and improve selected forehead wrinkles and frown lines. It aims to create smoother forehead contours and a more refreshed upper facial appearance.

Forehead Rejuvenation: Repositions descended forehead tissues to create a smoother, more youthful upper facial appearance. Reduction of Forehead Wrinkles: May soften horizontal forehead lines and creases associated with ageing and tissue descent. Elevation of Drooping Eyebrows: Restores a more balanced eyebrow position and reduces upper facial heaviness. Improvement of Frown Lines: Selected surgical techniques may reduce prominent vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. More Open and Refreshed Eyes: Reduces upper eyelid hooding caused by eyebrow descent. Improved Forehead Contours: Restores smoother forehead contours and improves upper facial proportions. Natural-Looking Facial Rejuvenation: Aims to preserve individual eyebrow shape, facial expressions, and natural characteristics. Long-Lasting Results: Surgical improvements may remain noticeable for many years, although natural ageing continues. Reduced Dependence on Temporary Treatments: May reduce the need for repeated non-surgical treatments addressing eyebrow descent, although dynamic wrinkles may still require treatment. Personalised Surgical Approach: Treatment tailored to individual forehead anatomy, eyebrow position, hairline characteristics, and aesthetic goals.

The terms forehead lift and brow lift are frequently used interchangeably. Both procedures involve repositioning tissues of the forehead and eyebrows. However, some techniques focus primarily on eyebrow elevation, while others provide more extensive forehead rejuvenation.

Forehead lift surgery primarily addresses the forehead, eyebrows, glabellar region between the eyebrows, and selected areas of the upper face. It may improve eyebrow descent, forehead tissue laxity, and certain wrinkles.

Initial improvements become visible as swelling and bruising decrease during the first few weeks. Eyebrow position and forehead contours continue to settle over the following months, with more mature results generally becoming apparent within approximately 3–6 months

Forehead lift surgery can improve upper eyelid hooding caused by descended eyebrows. However, hooding caused primarily by excess upper eyelid skin may require upper blepharoplasty instead of, or in combination with, a forehead lift.

Forehead lift surgery repositions forehead tissues and eyebrows, while upper blepharoplasty removes excess upper eyelid skin and, when appropriate, fat. Some patients benefit from combining both procedures.

Forehead lift surgery typically takes approximately 1–3 hours, depending on the technique, complexity, and whether additional procedures are performed.

Most patients experience swelling and bruising during the first 1–2 weeks. Many can return to light daily activities and non-strenuous work within approximately 10–14 days. Recovery may take longer following more extensive procedures.

Initial improvements become visible as swelling and bruising decrease over the first few weeks. Forehead contours and eyebrow position generally become more settled within approximately 3–6 months, while scar maturation and sensory recovery may continue for 6–12 months or longer.

Yes. Forehead lift surgery is commonly combined with upper blepharoplasty when both eyebrow descent and excess upper eyelid skin contribute to a heavy or tired appearance.

Yes. Forehead lift surgery may be combined with facelift surgery to address signs of ageing in the upper, middle, and lower face. The suitability of combined surgery depends on medical fitness, individual anatomy, and treatment goals.

Yes. Facial fat transfer may be used alongside forehead lift surgery to restore selected areas of facial volume loss. The decision depends on facial anatomy and the overall rejuvenation plan.

Yes. Forehead lift surgery can be performed on both women and men. Surgical planning considers differences in eyebrow position, forehead anatomy, hairline characteristics, and aesthetic preferences to maintain natural facial proportions.
