Over time, our faces often reveal visible signs of aging and stress, particularly in the brow and forehead region. If you want to rejuvenate these areas and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance, brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, emerges as a transformative solution.
Brow lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to address sagging or drooping eyebrows, deep forehead creases, and frown lines. The goal is to elevate the eyebrows and smooth out forehead wrinkles, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance. This procedure can be tailored to your individual needs, ensuring a harmonious and natural-looking result.
Schedule A ConsultationAm I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
If your eyebrows have begun to sag, creating a tired or aged appearance, a brow lift can restore a more youthful arch and alert appearance. Deep wrinkles and creases on the forehead can also be effectively treated with a brow lift. Brow lift surgery can target frown lines between the eyebrows, minimizing their prominence for a smoother and more relaxed look.
Candidates for brow lift surgery should be in overall good health and free from medical conditions that could pose risks during the procedure or recovery period. They should also have realistic expectations about their outcome and be prepared for recovery.

How Is Brow Lift Surgery Performed?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Gallas will review your health history and any medications you take and listen to your concerns and goals. After assessing your facial structure and skin condition, he will determine if brow lift surgery can deliver the results you desire and create an individualized surgical plan.
Brow lift surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Incision placement options include:
Traditional Brow Lift
The surgeon makes an incision along the hairline, running from one ear to the other, allowing significant lifting and smoothing of the entire forehead and brow area.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
This minimally invasive approach involves several smaller incisions hidden within the hairline. An endoscope, a thin tube with a camera, is inserted to help guide Dr. Gallas during the procedure.
Our surgeon adjusts underlying muscles and tissues to lift the eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles, creating a youthful appearance.
Incisions are carefully closed, and any stitches used are typically hidden in the hairline for minimal visible scarring.
Should You Combine Your Forehead Lift With Other Procedures?
A forehead or brow lift can be combined with any cosmetic facial surgery, such as:
- Facelift Procedures
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
- Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)
What Will My Brow Lift Recovery Be Like?
During your Initial recovery period, expect some swelling and bruising. Cold compresses can help manage these effects. Discomfort is typically mild and can be controlled with a cold compress and prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
You will have follow-up appointments with Dr. Gallas to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns or questions. Be sure to call our office right away if you experience anything out of the ordinary.
Many patients can return to work within a week, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks. Strenuous exercise and activities should be gradually reintroduced as permitted by Dr. Gallas.
When Will I See My Forehead/Brow Lift Results?
While initial improvements are visible shortly after surgery, final results become more apparent as swelling subsides and the tissues fully settle into their new position. This process may take several weeks to months.

Patients can usually return to work within a week, and our surgeon will guide you in the gradual resumption of everyday activities, including exercise.
