BROW LIFT
For some men and women, the first sign of premature facial aging is a furrowed brow with vertical 11 lines between the eyes and horizontal worry lines on the forehead that cause facial expressions to begin to look grumpy or stressed.

BROW LIFT BEFORE & AFTERS
ABOUT BROW LIFTS
Lines are most easily treated with a neuromodulator like Botox that paralyzes the muscles that cause these problems, but when they are combined with droopy eyebrows, a brow lift becomes the treatment of choice.
Frown lines between the brows can make us appear angry or disgruntled. Skin laxity may cause the eyebrows to droop, hooding the upper eyelids and imparting an appearance of exhaustion, while at once also subtly obstructing our field of vision, making it more difficult to see. A brow lift, also known as forehead lift surgery, is a surgical procedure that delivers long-lasting and more dramatic results in the brows that are vitally important in framing the eyes.
The brow area projects how fresh, alert, and relaxed we appear. A scrunched-up brow is a symbol of stress or distress, and it projects a negative first impression when people see it.
Fortunately, a brow lift procedure can restore a smooth and relaxed appearance to the upper facial region, making you look younger and more refreshed.
At AestheticsMD we offer 3 types of browlifts
- Endoscopic browlift – a surgical procedure that endoscopically repositions the brows with the use of anchors.
- Lateral browlift – a minimally invasive surgical procedure that raises the outer part of the brows.
- Gliding browlift – a minimally invasive surgical procedure that repositions the brows without the use of anchors.
BROW LIFT TECHNIQUES
Expert Surgical Approaches for Natural, Youthful Results
Achieving natural-looking, youthful results with a brow lift requires surgical expertise and a selection of specialized techniques tailored to each patient’s needs. Different types of brow lifts—such as Endoscopic, Lateral (Temporal), and Gliding Brow Lifts—employ precise surgical methods to address various brow positions and aesthetic goals. These procedures can be seamlessly combined with other advanced facial surgeries, including the Enhanced Deep Plane Facelift, CA Deep Plane Mini-Lift, rhinoplasty, or blepharoplasty, allowing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. With skilled hands and a customized approach, brow lifts create harmonious, long-lasting enhancements for each patient.
Endoscopic Brow Lift: The Most Popular Procedure for Lifting the Central Brow
An Endoscopic Brow Lift is the most commonly performed procedure to elevate the central brow, providing a refreshed and youthful look. During this minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon makes four small incisions, strategically hidden—two just behind the hairline at the top of the head and two above the temples. Using an endoscope for precise guidance, the surgeon lifts the skin, subcutaneous layer, muscle, and periosteal layer as a single unit, then secures it in its new, elevated position with nylon surgical anchors. This procedure requires no hair shaving, but it will shift the hairline back slightly, an adjustment carefully considered when planning the best lift approach for each patient.
Lateral (Temporal) Brow Lift: Enhancing the Outer Brow for a Balanced Look
A Lateral or Temporal Brow Lift is a specialized procedure to lift and reposition the outer portion of the eyebrows, often performed alongside an Endoscopic Brow Lift or as a standalone treatment. In this procedure, small incisions are made within the hairline above the temples. The surgeon then lifts the skin to a more youthful position, securing it with internal sutures. Excess skin is trimmed and fastened with surgical staples, which are typically removed 7-10 days after surgery. This targeted lift offers a subtle, natural enhancement to the outer brow, complementing the results of a full brow lift or achieving a balanced, refreshed look on its own.
Gliding Brow Lift: A Minimally Invasive Option for Raising the Central Brow
The Gliding Brow Lift is an effective technique for elevating and repositioning the central brow, similar to an Endoscopic Brow Lift but with a less invasive approach. Unlike other brow lift procedures, the Gliding Brow Lift targets only the skin, separating it from the underlying muscle without lifting the deeper layers, such as the muscle and periosteal. This approach uses external quilted sutures to secure the skin in place, which are removed within 3-5 days. No hair shaving is needed, and the hairline remains unchanged, making the Gliding Brow Lift an ideal option for patients with a receding or naturally high hairline who seek a subtle, natural-looking brow elevation.

BENEFITS OF BROW LIFTS
Rejuvenate Your Look with Newport Beach’s Top Plastic Surgeons at Aesthetics MD
With age and the effects of gravity, the brows naturally begin to droop, creating a tired, aged, or even stern appearance. A brow lift or forehead lift offers an effective solution, restoring a more youthful and refreshed look that reflects your inner vitality.
There are numerous reasons to consider a brow lift. Primarily, patients seek this procedure to rejuvenate their upper facial appearance, lifting the brows to alleviate the effects of aging. In some cases, drooping brows can create a cumbersome, heavy feeling that not only affects appearance but can also interfere with daily comfort. More severely, sagging brows may fall enough to impact the upper eyelids, causing physical discomfort and obstructing vision, which makes tasks like reading, driving, and using a computer more challenging. A brow lift can address these issues, raising the brows to a natural, elevated position that enhances both appearance and quality of life. If brow drooping is severe, combining a brow lift with eyelid surgery is recommended to achieve a fully rejuvenated, youthful gaze.
At AestheticsMD in Newport Beach, our expert plastic surgeons provide advanced brow lift techniques that open up the eyes, improve facial expressions, and create a look that’s more alert, friendly, and approachable. Each brow lift surgery is tailored to ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results that enhance both form and function.

CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
The first step you’ll need to take is to schedule an appointment with one of our surgeons so to evaluate your condition and examine the position of your forehead tissues and their proportion to your other facial features.
During your consultation for a brow lift at Aesthetics MD, our expert plastic surgeons will address your concerns about the appearance of heavy brows and lax forehead skin. They will take the time to understand your desired outcomes regarding brow position and overall facial expression. One major consideration is the position of your hairline. Patients with a high or receding hairline may opt for a Gliding Brow Lift to avoid raising the hairline further. Otherwise, your surgeon will discuss the possibility of a hair advancement if an Endoscopic Brow Lift is the best option.
The consultation process is crucial for setting realistic expectations and understanding your options. Our surgeons will show you before-and-after photographs of patients who have undergone similar procedures, allowing you to get a realistic picture of what to expect. They will also assess your health and discuss important topics such as potential risks, recovery time, and post-surgical care. All surgery patients must complete a standard blood test before surgery. Patients over 50 years of age are required to have EKG clearance.
Brow Lifts are performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgery facility. Most patients go home the same day after surgery to recover. The head is wrapped in a supportive head dressing that will be removed and replaced the next day so that the patient may shower if desired.
BROW LIFT RECOVERY
A brow lift is an outpatient procedure that often takes one to two hours to complete, depending on the specific techniques used, the extent of the surgery, and individual patient factors. Recovery involves several stages to ensure a successful outcome.

POST – PROCEDURE
During the recovery period, you will have to keep your head elevated and refrain from vigorous physical activity for a couple of weeks. Avoid using ice packs or heating pads on the surgical site area. Dr. Anton will recommend any necessary medication to alleviate physical discomfort during the first few days following the procedure.
Initial healing following your forehead rejuvenation may take about 10 to 14 days as this surgery requires an invasive technique. Staples are removed 7-10 days after your procedure in the case of an Endoscopic or Lateral Brow Lift. A Gliding Brow Lift sutures are removed on day 3-5 and will present with red marks that fade within days or weeks. Most Newport Beach brow lift patients can resume work and normal activity 7-10 days after surgery.
Makeup can help camouflage any bruising during the second phase of your healing process.
Full recovery from brow lift surgery may take as long as several weeks. Continue to adhere to post-operative care instructions, including proper skincare and incision care, to support healing and minimize scarring. As swelling and bruising subside, you’ll begin to see the initial results of your brow lift, with a smoother forehead and a more rejuvenated appearance. While final results take several months to fully manifest as swelling continues to diminish, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and attending regular follow-up appointments will help ensure long-lasting results.
For the first two weeks all patients are instructed to abstain from any activity that raises heart rate or blood pressure:
- Exercise
- Sex
- Bending
- Lifting
- Straining
- Stress & Anxiety
- Drinking Alcohol
- Smoking
Overall, most of the bruising and swelling will subside in about two weeks. Residual minimal swelling can take up to 6 months. You will be advised during your post-operative appointments about these restrictions. The healing process varies from patient to patient and is decided on an individual basis.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Immediately following a brow lift at Aesthetics MD, you may notice some initial changes in the position and appearance of your brows and forehead. However, these immediate results can be obscured by swelling and bruising, which are normal post-operative effects. Swelling, particularly around the forehead and eyes, can be significant in the initial days after surgery.
FINAL RESULTS
The final results of a brow lift typically become more apparent as swelling subsides over time. While you may notice improvements in brow position and forehead smoothness shortly after the procedure, it can take several weeks to months for the full effects to be visible. Around 6 months, most of the residual swelling will have resolved, allowing you to appreciate the final outcome of your brow lift. During this time, you’ll see a more rejuvenated appearance, a reduction in the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and a more youthful contour to your brows.

frequently asked questions
Will there be any visible scars?
Will there be any visible scars?
While a brow lift does involve incisions, our skilled surgeons at Aesthetics MD take great care to place these incision lines strategically, often within the natural hairline or along the creases of the forehead.
This approach helps minimize the visibility of scars. Over time, any scars that do form typically fade and become less noticeable. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to help optimize healing and reduce the appearance of scars, ensuring you achieve natural-looking results.
How long do results last?
Endoscopic lifts have the potential to last a lifetime, however, because your facial tissue is continually aging, the long-term results of a brow lift can vary from person to person. While the effects of brow lifting techniques are long-lasting, typically decades, it is important to note that the aging process will continue.
Combining your endoscopic forehead lift with complementary procedures like an upper blepharoplasty can make a much more dramatic impact on your facial appearance that stands the test of time.
