Eyebrow Lift
A surgical procedure known as a brow lift can help to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the upper part of the face, as well as to elevate the eyebrows and sagging skin around the eyes. It is sometimes a better alternative to an upper blepharoplasty – we can advise you when we see you. Incisions are hidden in the hairline and Nav likes to use an anchoring implant to hold the brow in its new lifted position. This implant will dissolve away in time.

What to Expect on the Day
Your surgeon will assess your concerns before deciding which approach to use during the surgery. Endoscopic brow lift is the least invasive approach and involves a series of small incisions to be made around the hairline.
With the use of a small camera, the underlying tissues are adjusted to help elevate the brow before the wounds are closed. Coronal brow lift is also known as the ‘classic brow lift’ whereby the excess skin and tissues are removed before being pulled tight through an incision made along the hairline. A temporal brow lift may be used when a less dramatic result is required, lifting the outer brow to rejuvenate the appearance.
Treatment Time
A brow lift in London usually takes one to two hours under general anaesthetic, sometimes performed as a day case.
Downtime
Expect about one week off work, longer if bruising and swelling are more noticeable.
Reasonable Mobility
We recommend patients begin gentle movement around two days after surgery. Light activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and carrying out basic daily tasks are encouraged to support circulation and recovery.
Sport & Exercise
Gentle walking is fine after a few days, but strenuous activity should wait four to six weeks.
Driving
Most patients feel comfortable driving again after about one week, once swelling has reduced.
Shower
You can usually shower after two days, taking care around incisions and dressings.
Full Recovery
Recovery takes around six weeks, with final results settling over three to six months.
Maintenance
Results are long-lasting, though natural ageing will continue to affect skin and muscle tone.
Reason for doing this?
A brow lift raises the eyebrows, smooths forehead lines, and opens the eye area for a refreshed appearance.
Reasons to Avoid
It may not be suitable if you have uncontrolled health conditions, poor healing, or unrealistic expectations.
Showering After a Brow Lift
The face will need to be kept dry for around 3 days, so we advise not to shower during this time. Following our aftercare advice will ensure the results develop successfully.
Follow Up and Aftercare
We will need to see you 1 week, 6 weeks and 3 months after the procedure when we will assess your healing and recovery. Aftercare advice may include: avoiding driving, avoiding heavy lifting, avoiding exercise and strenuous activities and taking time off work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the brow lift be performed alongside other procedures?
A brow lift can be carried out as part of a combination of procedures to help produce a rejuvenated appearance that looks youthful and refreshed. Procedures can include: face lift, neck lift, blepharoplasty and jawline contouring.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Common side effects include swelling and bruising around the upper and mid face. This may take a few weeks to subside when the incisions have sufficiently healed. The full results may take several weeks to develop.
Are the results permanent?
A surgical approach helps to ensure a long term result is achieved. Although the signs of ageing may appear to reverse following the procedure, the ageing process will continue to progress. It may take several years before they become noticeable as the skin and underlying muscles weaken further.
