A brow lift reverses the effects of aging and rejuvenates the appearance of the upper face. Also known as a forehead lift, this facial procedure smoothes wrinkles, minimizes frown lines, and raises the eyebrows to a more natural position. The result is a more approachable and refreshed image.

Dr. DiBernardo delivers highly-personalized results using the latest technology and techniques.

What is a Brow Lift?

This procedure is particularly beneficial if you are bothered by a tired or angry appearance caused by low eyebrow position.

A brow lift is also an ideal way to correct upper eyelid sagging resulting from brow ptosis. It is commonly done in conjunction with eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty to offer the most comprehensive rejuvenation.

A brow lift gives the upper face a more vibrant and youthful appearance. It tightens the soft tissues and skin of the forehead to combat age-related cosmetic changes, such as:

  • Sagging or low eyebrow position
  • Brow asymmetry
  • Prominent horizontal wrinkles across the forehead
  • Frown lines or vertical creases between the eyebrows

What Aesthetic Issues Does Brow Lift Address?

Over time, your brow might start to sag or give off a tired or stressed vibe. A brow lift can help fix that, giving your face a more relaxed, fresh look. These are some of the areas it can help with.

Sagging Brow

Gravity, aging, or just how your face changes over time can cause your brow to drift down and cast shade over your eyes.

Horizontal Forehead Lines

Lines across the forehead happen when skin loses elasticity, and when we make repeated facial expressions. Lifting the brow gives that area some breathing room.

Frown Lines (“11s”)

Those vertical creases between the brows can add an unintended stern or stressed look. Raising the brow softens that.

Heavy, Droopy Eyelids (Brow-Related Hooding)

If your brow is low, it can push down on your eyelids, making them feel or look heavy. Lifting it clears up that extra weight.

Benefits of Brow Lift

A brow lift is about helping your face reflect how you actually feel. When your brow is low or heavy, it can make you appear tired, upset, or older than you are. Many people notice that their facial expressions feel more relaxed and natural after surgery. Things like applying eye makeup can become easier, and everyday interactions may feel different when you’re not constantly being asked if you’re tired or upset.

Lifting the brows can open up your whole expression and bring back a sense of ease and brightness, along with other benefits.

  • A smoother, more rested look across the forehead and eye area
  • Eyes that appear more open, alert, and expressive
  • Fewer deep creases or frown lines between the brows
  • Improved facial symmetry or balance
  • A subtle but noticeable lift that can boost self-confidence
  • Long-lasting results that don’t rely on frequent touch-ups or injections
  • A refreshed look that still feels like you

It’s not about looking “done,” it’s about looking like yourself on your best day.

Brow Lift Candidates

You are likely a candidate for brow lift surgery if you are a physically healthy adult with realistic expectations for the procedure. This procedure is especially helpful for people who have a naturally low brow position, visible signs of aging around the upper face, or a tired or heavy look that doesn’t match how they feel inside. It’s often a good fit if you’ve noticed deep lines across your forehead, drooping brows, or excess skin that’s starting to weigh down your upper eyelids.

Smoking slows down the healing process and increases the risk of complications. Patients who smoke must be willing to quit before and after their brow lift. An in-person evaluation is necessary to determine if this procedure is right for you. Dr. DiBernardo will assess factors unique to your situation, including your relevant medical history and the nature of your cosmetic concerns.

Your Brow Lift Procedure

There are several different ways to perform a brow lift. Brow lift techniques include coronal, temporal, and endoscopic, and should always be tailored to the individual.

Dr. DiBernardo will leverage his extensive brow lift experience to create your customized surgical plan. He will discuss each option with you to select the most appropriate approach that can best accomplish your goals. Brow lift procedures are done onsite at our surgical center under anesthesia. During the surgery, Dr. DiBernardo may make a series of small incisions within the hairline or a single incision from ear to ear across the top of the head. These incisions allow the tissue to be lifted and adjusted. The exact steps used during your procedure will depend on your facial features the nature of your concerns. To finish your brow lift, Dr. DiBernardo will close the incisions. The resulting scars are often thin and well-concealed within the hair.

Brow Lift Recovery

You can return home after your brow lift, but you should not drive yourself. Your forehead may be taped or loosely wrapped to minimize bruising and swelling. Dr. DiBernardo will give you specific instructions on how to care for the surgical site.

He will also let you know when it is okay to resume your normal activities. Recovery time varies by patient. You should engage in mild activities during the first week of recovery to promote healing while avoiding anything strenuous. Most of our New Jersey brow lift patients can return to work and full activity within a few weeks.

Brow Lift Results

In general, the final results from brow lift surgery are evident after several months. The healing process is complete by that time, and your forehead and brow should have a rejuvenated appearance.

Brow lift results are long-lasting, and most patients enjoy their new look for many years. While results vary from person to person, many individuals maintain a noticeable improvement in brow position and upper face appearance for a decade or more. Keep in mind, a brow lift will not stop the natural aging process. Mild wrinkles and sagging may return over time, though they will likely never be as severe as they were before the procedure.

There are steps that you can take to extend your results. Protecting your skin from sun exposure, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and following a consistent skincare routine can all make a difference. Dr. DiBernardo may also recommend a personalized maintenance plan that includes non-surgical treatments, like injectables or skin tightening, to support your long-term outcome.

How Much Does Brow Lift Cost?

Every brow lift is built around you. Costs can vary depending on which technique is used, whether you’re combining it with other treatments, and what’s needed for the best outcome.

The estimate you’ll receive usually covers the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, use of the surgical facility, and follow-up care. We’ll walk you through all the details during your consultation so there are no surprises, just a plan that matches your needs.

Brow Lift FAQs

Incisions are usually hidden in your hairline or near the temples, and they fade fast.

Absolutely. Brow lifts often go hand in hand with eyelid surgery, facelifts, or skin resurfacing for a more complete refresh.

Yes. Some choose Botox brow lifts or thread lifts for a temporary lift with little downtime, though results don’t last as long.

If you want something long-lasting and you’re ready for the surgery and recovery, a surgical brow lift brings deeper, more lasting changes than Botox alone.
