Brow lift is a cosmetic procedure to raise the brows and rejuvenate the upper part of the face. A brow lift improves the appearance of the forehead, the brow and the areas surrounding the eyes by gently raising the soft tissue and skin of both the forehead and brow area.

What is Brow Lift
If you have the appearance of a low, sagging brow or asymmetry, a brow lift may be the perfect procedure to add a more youthful appearance to the areas of concern.
A brow lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with other facial procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a face-lift to further enhance the final results. The incisions are typically hidden in the hair line of the head or the brow.
Things to Remember
A brow lift can pose various risks, including:
- Scarring
- Changes in skin sensation
- Asymmetry in the position of the brows
- Hair problems
Like any other type of major surgery, a brow lift poses a risk of bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to anesthesia.
After Your Surgery
After a brow lift, your forehead is wrapped to minimize swelling. You will be required to leave this bandage on until for a time frame suggested by Dr.Kashaf.
In the first few weeks after a brow lift:
- Rest with your head elevated and take pain medication as recommended by Dr.Kashaf
- Apply cold compresses to relieve swelling
- Avoid exposing your incisions to excessive pressure or movement
- Avoid strenuous activity like exercise
As your incisions heal, you might experience itching and numbness, which will decrease over time. Dr.Kashaf will likely remove your bandages in one to three days. Sutures typically will be removed within 7 to 10 days of surgery. Incision lines will fade over time. You might use makeup to conceal any prolonged bruising.
