A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the shape and position of the upper facial area. This procedure goes beyond simply "pulling" the skin, repositioning the underlying muscles and forehead tissues to resolve brow ptosis (sagging). Depending on your goals, Dr. Climov offers several brow lift options. While a nonsurgical brow lift can offer temporary help with wrinkle lines, a surgical brow lift is the gold standard for long-term forehead rejuvenation. The overall goal is to create a rejuvenated appearance that feels light and open.
On the day of your forehead lift, our team ensures an unhurried and calm environment. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Climov utilizes different brow lift techniques based on your needs.
In a modern endoscopic brow lift, the surgeon makes several tiny incisions behind the hairline and uses a small camera to guide the lifting of the underlying tissues. For some, a temporal brow lift or a coronal brow lift may be more appropriate to remove excess skin. Throughout the surgical procedure, Dr. Climov prioritizes patient safety and meticulous technique to ensure minimal scarring that is easily hidden within the hair.
The brow lift procedure is highly effective for treating drooping brows that create a heavy or tired look. It specifically addresses horizontal forehead lines and the deep frown lines that appear between the eyebrows. Many patients find that lifting the brow also helps reduce upper eyelid hooding, though it is often paired with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. By removing excess tissue and repositioning the brow muscles, Dr. Climov resolves the structural issues that make you look perpetually concerned or aged.
A brow lift restores a more youthful, refreshed appearance to the upper face. Opening up the upper facial area allows your true emotions to shine through without the weight of sagging eyebrows. Beyond the lift itself, the procedure smooths out forehead lines, softening deep creases and skin folds, to deliver a more youthful appearance that looks relaxed rather than "surprised."
For many, the brow lift is the perfect complement to other facial procedures. It is frequently performed alongside facelift surgery or neck surgery to ensure the entire face ages with the same level of sophistication and balance.
Adults with drooping eyebrows or significant forehead wrinkling can benefit from the rejuvenating results of forehead lift This procedure is designed for those who want a long-term solution for brow ptosis rather than the temporary results of a nonsurgical brow lift. Candidates for cosmetic surgery should be in good general health, have realistic expectations for their results, and not smoke (or be willing to quit). During your brow lift consultation, Dr. Climov will review your individual goals, facial anatomy, skin quality, and medical history to ensure this is the safest path forward.
Recovery is a time for your body to heal in a supportive environment. For the first few days, you should keep your head elevated to minimize swelling. Dr. Climov and his team will remain deeply involved in your aftercare. While you will need to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks, most patients find the recovery time is quite manageable and return to much of their normal routine quickly.
You will notice a change in your expression almost immediately, but your final results will truly shine once the swelling has subsided over the next few months. You can expect a smoother forehead and a more alert, youthful appearance that reflects your inner energy. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and protect your skin from sun damage, your brow lift results are intended to last for many years. It is an elegant "reset" for the upper face that helps you look as vibrant as you feel.

An endoscopic lift uses small incisions behind the hairline and a camera, resulting in faster healing and minimal scarring. A coronal brow lift (or classic lift) involves a longer incision but allows for more significant removal of excess skin. Dr. Climov will help you choose the best type of brow lift for your specific degree of sagging.
This is a common fear, but when performed by a skilled facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Climov, the result is subtle and natural. The goal is to restore the brow to its natural, youthful position, not to pull it too high.
The brow lift cost depends on the specific technique used and whether it is combined with other facial procedures. During your unhurried consultation, we will provide you with a transparent estimate. We also offer financing options through CareCredit and Alphaeon to help make your goals accessible.
Yes, this is a very common combination. While a brow lift focuses on the forehead, eyelid surgery addresses the eyelids themselves. Performing both together ensures total harmony in the upper face and provides a much more comprehensive rejuvenated appearance.
A temporal brow lift is a mini brow lift that focuses specifically on the outer corners of the eyebrows. It is ideal for patients who have sagging only at the tail of the brow and want a subtle "cat-eye" or lifted effect with very little downtime.
While no surgical procedure can stop the natural aging process, a brow lift resets the clock. Most patients enjoy their refreshed look for ten years or more. Maintaining good skin care and avoiding excessive sun damage will help preserve your results for as long as possible.
