What is a brow lift?

A brow lift raises eyebrows that have descended with age or genetics, reducing hooding over the outer upper eyelids, a tired or angry expression and compensatory forehead lines. Endoscopic and temporal lifts hide scars in the hairline; direct and sub-brow lifts place the scar at the brow and suit mature skin or select Asian eyelids. Surgery takes about 60–120 minutes, social downtime is about 7–10 days and residual swelling settles over 2–4 weeks.
