Your forehead and eyebrows play a major role in expressing emotion, confidence, and vitality. Over time, aging, gravity, and repetitive facial movements can cause the brows to droop, the forehead to develop deep lines, and the upper eyelids to appear heavy or tired. This not only affects appearance but also how others perceive your emotions — making you look fatigued, angry, or sad even when you’re not.
A Brow Lift, also known as a Forehead Lift, is a transformative cosmetic surgery designed to elevate the eyebrows, smooth forehead lines, and restore a naturally youthful and refreshed look. It’s one of the most effective anti-aging facial procedures for both men and women who wish to rejuvenate the upper face without looking “overdone.”
At One Life Medical Tourism, we connect international patients to top plastic and cosmetic surgeons in India who specialize in brow lift surgery. Our role is to make your transformation journey seamless — from consultation to recovery — ensuring safety, affordability, and beautiful, natural-looking results.
A brow lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that raises the eyebrows and tightens the forehead skin to reduce sagging and wrinkles. By lifting the tissues of the brow area, surgeons can rejuvenate the entire upper third of the face, eliminating the “tired” or “angry” expression caused by drooping brows.
This procedure can address multiple aesthetic concerns, including:
Low or sagging eyebrows
Deep horizontal forehead wrinkles
Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
Heavy upper eyelids due to brow descent
Uneven or asymmetrical brow shape
The goal is to achieve a smoother, refreshed forehead with eyebrows positioned in a more youthful and balanced way — creating an open, inviting expression.
Aging affects the face in subtle yet noticeable ways. Over time, gravity pulls the brows downward, muscles weaken, and skin loses elasticity. Many people try to correct this with Botox or fillers, but those treatments only offer temporary improvement.
A surgical brow lift offers long-term rejuvenation by addressing the root cause of sagging — repositioning underlying muscles and tissues to restore youthful contours naturally.
Benefits include:
A younger, alert, and friendlier facial appearance
Reduction in forehead creases and frown lines
Improved symmetry and eyebrow shape
Enhanced eye area — complements eyelid surgery beautifully
Long-lasting, natural-looking results
Modern cosmetic surgery offers several techniques for brow lifting, depending on the patient’s anatomy, goals, and degree of correction required.
This is the most advanced and commonly performed method today. Small incisions are made behind the hairline, and an endoscope (tiny camera) guides the surgeon in repositioning muscles and lifting tissues. It results in minimal scarring, less swelling, and faster recovery.
In this technique, a longer incision is made across the scalp from ear to ear, hidden within the hairline. It allows for a significant lift and is ideal for patients with more advanced sagging. Though recovery takes slightly longer, results are dramatic and long-lasting.
This approach targets the outer parts of the eyebrows (temples). It’s less invasive than a full lift and works well for patients with early brow drooping, especially to improve the outer eye area.
Used mainly for men with receding hairlines or those desiring a subtle correction, this method removes skin directly above the eyebrows. It provides precise lift and shaping but may leave a small, well-hidden scar.
During consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your facial structure, skin elasticity, and goals to recommend the most suitable technique.
You may be an ideal candidate for a brow lift if you:
Have sagging or drooping eyebrows
Appear constantly tired, sad, or angry despite feeling fine
Have deep forehead creases or frown lines
Want to complement an eyelid surgery for complete facial rejuvenation
Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
Have realistic expectations
Age is not a restriction — patients in their 30s to 70s can benefit significantly from this procedure.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. The surgeon analyzes facial proportions, discusses your goals, and creates a personalized surgical plan. This includes deciding on the technique, incision placement, and degree of lift required.
Brow lift surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your comfort level and the surgical approach.
Based on the chosen method, incisions are made discreetly within the hairline or above the brows. The surgeon gently lifts underlying tissues, repositions muscles, and removes excess skin to achieve a smoother contour.
Sutures or skin adhesives are used to close the incisions. Careful attention ensures scars are minimal and hidden within natural lines or the hair.
The entire procedure typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours. Patients are discharged the same day or after a short hospital stay. Swelling and mild discomfort are normal for a few days but subside quickly with proper care.
Post-operative care plays a crucial role in achieving beautiful, long-lasting results. Here’s what to expect:
First Week: Mild swelling and bruising around the forehead or eyes. Keep your head elevated and use cold compresses to reduce swelling.
7–10 Days: Stitches are removed (if non-dissolvable). Most patients return to work within 10 days.
2–4 Weeks: Swelling continues to subside, and results become more visible. Light exercise can resume.
2–3 Months: Final results are visible — smoother forehead, lifted brows, and rejuvenated upper face.
Surgeons recommend avoiding strenuous activities, direct sun exposure, and facial massages for a few weeks to protect healing tissues.
A successful brow lift rejuvenates the upper face without altering your natural expression. Patients enjoy:
Smoother forehead and fewer wrinkles
Naturally arched, youthful brows
Brighter eyes and improved facial harmony
Refreshed, approachable appearance
Results typically last 10–12 years, depending on individual aging factors, skincare habits, and lifestyle.
When performed by skilled, board-certified surgeons, brow lift surgery is safe and effective. However, as with any surgery, minor risks exist:
Temporary swelling or numbness
Mild asymmetry (rare)
Hairline sensitivity
Scarring (usually minimal)

For complete facial rejuvenation, many patients combine a brow lift with:
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) – To reduce droopy eyelids and eye bags.
Facelift – For mid and lower facial tightening.
Dermal Fillers or Botox – To refine lines and restore volume.
When planned together, these procedures create harmonious, natural-looking results across the entire face.
The results of a brow lift are long-lasting. With proper skincare, a healthy diet, hydration, and sun protection, your refreshed look can last over a decade. Regular non-surgical maintenance treatments like Botox or laser rejuvenation can help sustain youthful results even longer.
