Will a brow lift make me look surprised?

No. Modern brow lift techniques are designed to create natural, balanced results that avoid an over-elevated appearance.

How long do brow lift results last?

Results are long-lasting, although the natural ageing process continues over time.

Is brow lift surgery painful?

Most patients report only mild discomfort during recovery, which is usually well controlled with simple pain relief.

Can a brow lift improve hooded eyelids?

In some patients, yes. Brow descent can contribute significantly to upper eyelid hooding.

Can a brow lift be combined with blepharoplasty?

Yes. Combining both procedures is common when brow descent and excess eyelid skin are present.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reposition the eyebrows to a more youthful position.

Over time, ageing, gravity and loss of skin elasticity can cause the brows to descend, creating a heavy appearance around the eyes. This can contribute to hooded eyelids, forehead lines and a tired, angry or concerned expression.

Brow lift surgery restores the position of the brows while maintaining natural facial expression, helping patients look refreshed rather than overcorrected.

At Genesis Clinic, brow lift procedures are performed by specialist consultant oculoplastic surgeons with advanced expertise in facial and periocular surgery.

What Causes Brow Drooping?

everal factors can contribute to a low or heavy brow position:

Natural Ageing

As we age, the soft tissues of the forehead gradually lose elasticity, allowing the brows to descend.

Genetics

Some individuals naturally have lower-set brows or are predisposed to brow heaviness.

Sun Exposure

Long-term sun exposure can accelerate skin ageing and contribute to tissue laxity.

Facial Muscle Activity

Years of repetitive facial movement can influence brow position and forehead creasing.

Signs You May Benefit From a Brow Lift

You may be a suitable candidate if you experience:

Heavy or drooping eyebrows
Hooding of the upper eyelids
Deep forehead lines
Frown lines between the eyebrows
A tired or angry appearance
Eyebrows sitting below their natural position
Reduced upper visual field caused by brow descent

Many patients are surprised to discover that brow position contributes significantly to the appearance of heavy upper eyelids.

Brow Lift vs Blepharoplasty

Although often confused, brow lift surgery and blepharoplasty address different concerns.

Brow Lift

Raises the position of the eyebrows and forehead tissues.

Blepharoplasty

Removes excess skin and tissue from the eyelids themselves.

Some patients benefit from one procedure alone, while others achieve the best outcome through a combination of brow lift surgery and upper eyelid blepharoplasty.

During your consultation, your surgeon will assess which approach is most appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
