Brow Lift

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that smooths and lifts the forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids. It is designed to:

• Elevate drooping brows that may be hooding the upper eyelids
• Smooth deep forehead lines and frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
• Open the eye area to reduce a tired or stern look
• Restore facial balance and harmony

The result is a more refreshed, rested, and youthful facial expression that still looks like you—just brighter and more lifted.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

You may benefit from a brow lift if you:

• Have sagging or low-set eyebrows
• Notice deep forehead wrinkles or frown lines
• Feel that your eyes look heavy or tired
• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations

During your consultation, Dr. Yugueros will examine your facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals to determine whether a brow lift—or a combination of facial rejuvenation procedures—is right for you.

Types of Brow Lift Techniques

Dr. Yugueros uses the most advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s needs. These include:

Endoscopic Brow Lift

A minimally invasive approach that uses small incisions hidden within the hairline and a tiny camera to lift and reposition the forehead tissues and muscles. This method:

• Has minimal scarring
• Offers faster recovery
• Is ideal for patients with mild to moderate brow descent

Temporal or Lateral Brow Lift

Focuses on lifting the outer third of the brow, which often descends first. Ideal for:

• Patients wanting subtle lifting of the outer brow
• Those not ready for a full brow lift

Traditional (Coronal) Brow Lift

Involves a longer incision along the hairline to allow more significant lifting and smoothing. Best suited for:

• Patients with deep forehead lines or more advanced aging
• Those looking for dramatic improvement

Dr. Yugueros will recommend the most effective and least invasive option for your unique features and goals.

Brow Lift vs. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Many patients ask whether they need a brow lift or eyelid surgery. The truth is, it depends on where the drooping originates. If the brow itself is low, a brow lift is typically the better solution. If the issue is excess skin or puffiness in the eyelid, upper blepharoplasty may be more appropriate—or both procedures may be combined for full upper-face rejuvenation.

What to Expect: Procedure & Recovery

Brow lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and lasts 1–2 hours.

Recovery:

• Mild swelling, bruising, or tightness for the first week
• Most patients return to work and normal activities in 7–10 days
• Strenuous exercise is avoided for 2–3 weeks
• Final results become more visible over the following 4–6 weeks

Dr. Yugueros and the Luna team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
