The eyes and forehead are among the first areas to show signs of aging. Sagging brows, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines can make you appear tired, angry, or older than you feel. 

Rejuvenate Your Expression and Restore Youthful Vitality

A Brow Lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address these concerns, creating a more refreshed, youthful, and approachable appearance. If you’re looking to rejuvenate your expression and restore balance to your facial features, a brow lift might be the perfect solution for you.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the eyebrows and smooths the forehead area. It targets:

  • Sagging or drooping eyebrows that create a tired or angry appearance.
  • Horizontal forehead wrinkles.
  • Vertical frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
  • Excess skin or heaviness in the upper eyelids.

By lifting the brows and smoothing the forehead, a brow lift can create a more open, youthful, and harmonious facial expression.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have sagging or low-positioned eyebrows.
  • Are bothered by deep forehead wrinkles or frown lines.
  • Feel that their eyes look tired or hooded due to drooping brows.
  • Have good skin elasticity and overall health.
  • Are non-smokers or willing to quit smoking before and after surgery.
  • Have realistic expectations about the results.

During your consultation, Dr. Buğra İpek will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and personal goals to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.

The Benefits of a Brow Lift

A brow lift offers both aesthetic and emotional benefits, including:

  • Elevated Brows: The procedure lifts the eyebrows to a more youthful position, opening up the eyes.
  • Smoother Forehead: Forehead wrinkles and frown lines are softened or eliminated.
  • More Youthful Appearance: The face looks refreshed, rested, and approachable.
  • Enhanced Self-Confidence: Many patients feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance after surgery.
  • Long-Lasting Results: The effects of a brow lift can last for many years, especially with proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle.
The Brow Lift Procedure

A brow lift can be performed using different techniques, depending on your needs and anatomy. Dr. İpek will recommend the best approach for you. Common techniques include:

  • Endoscopic Brow Lift: Small incisions are made in the scalp, and an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is used to lift and reposition the brow tissues. This minimally invasive technique results in less scarring and a quicker recovery.
  • Coronal Brow Lift: An incision is made across the top of the head, from ear to ear, allowing for significant lifting and smoothing of the forehead.
  • Temporal Brow Lift: Incisions are made within the hairline at the temples, focusing on lifting the outer portion of the brows.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and typically takes 1 to 2 hours.

Recovery After a Brow Lift

Recovery time varies for each patient, but most individuals can return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Here’s what to expect during the recovery process:

  • Immediate Post-Op: You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
  • First Few Days: You will need to keep your head elevated and avoid strenuous activities. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling.
  • Long-Term Care: Swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and final results will become apparent within a few weeks. Dr. İpek will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
