Brow Lift

Forehead Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, reduces wrinkles, improves frown lines and places the eyebrows in a youthful position.

How should I prepare for brow lift surgery?

In preparing for brow lift surgery, you may be asked to:

Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
Stop smoking
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other supplements as they can increase bleeding and bruising

Brow lift surgery should be performed in an accredited surgical facility, a licensed ambulatory surgical center or a hospital.

You will need to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from surgery, and to stay with you the first night following surgery to assure your safety.

Eyelid Surgery or Brow Lift?
The best way to address common concerns around the eyes and forehead? That depends. ASPS member Alan Matarasso, MD, FACS, explains the difference between eyelid surgery and a brow lift – the relationship between the brow dropping and extra skin on the upper lid.
