Over time, the brow can begin to descend, creating a tired, heavy, or even stern appearance. Deep forehead lines and a low brow position can make you look older than you feel, even when the rest of your face appears youthful. A brow lift is designed to elevate and reposition the brow, smooth forehead wrinkles, and restore a more refreshed, approachable expression.
At Jaibaji Plastic Surgery, brow lift procedures are performed by Dr. Moneer Jaibaji, a double-board-certified plastic and general surgeon with extensive experience in facial rejuvenation. With advanced training in both cosmetic and reconstructive techniques, Dr. Jaibaji focuses on natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without altering your expression.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the position of the eyebrows while smoothing lines across the forehead. By lifting and repositioning underlying tissues, the procedure restores a more youthful contour and reduces the appearance of sagging skin above the eyes.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, the procedure may be performed using either a traditional or endoscopic approach.
Surgical Techniques and Approach
Brow lift surgery is typically completed in one to two hours under twilight anesthesia or intravenous sedation in an accredited surgical setting.
- A traditional brow lift involves a coronal incision placed along or just behind the hairline across the top of the head. This approach allows for full access to the underlying tissues, which are carefully lifted, reshaped, and repositioned before the skin is redraped and excess tissue is removed.
- An endoscopic brow lift uses several small incisions hidden within the hairline. A small camera is inserted through these incisions, allowing Dr. Jaibaji to visualize and adjust the underlying structures with precision. This minimally invasive technique often results in smaller scars and a quicker recovery.
In both approaches, the underlying tissue is repositioned and secured with internal sutures, and the incisions are closed with fine sutures for optimal healing.

Brow lift Botox
Botox can correct low brow. By placing the injections in certain areas of the forehead the brow can be elevated to achieve a youthful and harmonious look.
Non-Surgical Brow Lift Options
For patients with mild brow descent, non-surgical treatments may offer temporary improvement. Botox can be used strategically to elevate the brow by relaxing specific forehead muscles, creating a more open and refreshed appearance.
While results are temporary, this approach can be a good option for patients who are not ready for surgery or want subtle enhancement.
Recovery and Healing
After surgery, a bandage may be applied, and a small drain may be used temporarily to reduce fluid buildup. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can help minimize swelling.
Bandages are typically removed within one to three days, and sutures are removed in about a week. Most patients return to normal activities within one to two weeks, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for three to six weeks.
Swelling and bruising gradually resolve over several weeks, and incision lines continue to fade over 12 to 18 months. As healing progresses, the brow appears more elevated and the forehead smoother.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, a brow lift carries some risks. These may include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, skin irregularities, scarring, or temporary changes in sensation.
During your consultation, Dr. Jaibaji will review your medical history, discuss potential risks, and provide detailed instructions to help minimize complications and support optimal healing.
