Brow Lift

Natural, Youthful Upper Facial Rejuvenation

A brow lift—also known as a forehead lift—is a powerful yet nuanced procedure that rejuvenates the upper face by restoring a refreshed, rested appearance. As the brow descends with age, it can create heaviness over the eyes, a tired or stern expression, and contribute to upper eyelid hooding.

At Dr. Catherina Greenberg’s practice, brow lift surgery is tailored to enhance facial balance and expression, never to over-elevate or distort natural features. The goal is subtle elevation with long-lasting, natural results.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the eyebrows and smooths the forehead to address:

  • Drooping or low-set brows

  • A tired, angry, or sad appearance

  • Forehead wrinkles and deep frown lines

  • Brow heaviness contributing to eyelid hooding

  • Asymmetry of the brows

By repositioning the brow to a more youthful location, the eyes appear brighter, more open, and naturally refreshed.

Types of Brow Lift Procedures

Dr. Greenberg customizes the brow lift technique based on anatomy, degree of brow descent, and aesthetic goals.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

  • Minimally invasive

  • Small, hidden incisions in the hairline

  • Ideal for mild to moderate brow descent

  • Faster recovery with minimal scarring

Direct or Indirect Brow Lift (Selected Cases)

  • Reserved for specific functional or reconstructive needs

  • Provides precise control in advanced brow descent

 FAQs

  • A brow lift (also called a forehead lift) is a surgical procedure that elevates the eyebrows to a more youthful position, smooths forehead lines, and opens the eyes. It helps restore a refreshed, rested appearance while preserving natural facial expression.

  • Many patients think they need upper eyelid surgery when the true issue is brow descent. If lifting the brow manually improves eyelid heaviness, a brow lift—or a combination of procedures—may be the best solution. Dr. Greenberg evaluates facial anatomy carefully during consultation.

  • No. Dr. Greenberg’s approach focuses on subtle elevation and natural brow shape, avoiding the over-arched or “pulled” look. The goal is to look refreshed—not different.

    • Most patients return to work in 7–10 days

    • Bruising and swelling improve over 2–3 weeks

    • Final results continue to refine over several months

  • Discomfort is usually moderate and controlled with medication. Patients commonly report tightness or pressure.

  • Incisions are placed discreetly within the hairline or natural creases. When healed, scars are typically well concealed and difficult to see.

  • Brow lift results are long-lasting. While the face continues to age naturally, the brow is repositioned to a more youthful baseline that ages gracefully over time.

  • Botox can temporarily elevate the brows and soften wrinkles, but it:

    • Is not permanent

    • Does not correct true brow descent

    • Requires ongoing maintenance

    A surgical brow lift offers structural, long-term correction.

  • Yes. Brow lifts are often combined with:

    • Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

    • Facelift or mini facelift

    • Laser resurfacing

    • Injectable treatments

    Combining procedures can enhance overall facial harmony and reduce total downtime.
