Overview: What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift repositions descended soft tissue and adjusts underlying muscular dynamics contributing to horizontal forehead lines and glabellar tension. Properly executed, the result is elevation without distortion, restoring proportion between brow, eyelid, and midface. Brow lift surgery is often considered in conjunction with blepharoplasty or facelift when upper facial descent contributes to visual heaviness.
