Brow Lift
A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgery designed to rejuvenate the upper face by lifting the skin and muscles. This procedure effectively minimizes aging signs, targeting deep creases across the forehead and the bridge of the nose, and removing frown lines between the eyebrows. Additionally, it elevates the eyebrows, enhancing the eyes’ openness and conveying a more alert, youthful look.
The elevation of the eyebrows through a brow lift not only smoothens the forehead area but also significantly opens up the eye area, making the eyes appear more vibrant and alert. This subtle yet impactful change can transform the overall facial expression, shifting it from a look of fatigue to one of vitality and energy, thereby boosting the patient’s confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.

You are happy, active, and full of life, so why does it seem harder to look that way? Time or even genetics can cause your brows to sag, giving you a sad, tired, or angry expression. Board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Anna Petropoulos is a leader and innovator in facial rejuvenation techniques. She offers the endoscopic brow lift procedure to her Boston, MA patients for a refreshed and more youthful appearance. Her goal is to enhance the individuality and authentic beauty of each patient.
BENEFITS
Enhanced Forehead Appearance
A brow lift smooths out wrinkles and reduces horizontal lines on the forehead, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.
Elevated Eyebrows
This procedure lifts sagging eyebrows, enhancing the eyes’ openness and overall facial expression, making the face appear more alert and approachable.
Reduced Upper Eyelid Hooding
By lifting the brows, a brow lift can also reduce the hooding of the upper eyelids, thereby improving peripheral vision and giving a more ‘awake’ appearance.
Balanced Facial Expression
A brow lift corrects frown lines and a heavy brow, which often gives a tired or angry appearance, leading to a more relaxed and pleasant facial expression.
Forehead Lift Procedure
Dr. Petropoulos prefers to perform endoscopic or “minimal incision” brow lifts instead of using the traditional coronal technique. She performs this outpatient procedure using a tiny video camera inserted through half-inch incisions that are hidden behind the hairline. Using this special camera, Dr. Petropoulos is able to perform the procedure without having to make the large incisions required with a traditional brow lift.
After the procedure, you will have a special brow lift dressing. There may be some temporary swelling and numbness of the scalp. Sutures will be removed after about 1 week at which point you may return to work.

Brow Lift Surgery Recovery
Brow lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure and most patients return home the day of their surgery. Patients report experiencing pronounced swelling within the first two days of surgery. This swelling should mostly subside within two weeks of the procedure. Dr. Petropoulos advises that her patients avoid heavy lifting for a few days to prevent bleeding.
Forehead Surgery Results
Dr. Petropoulos makes it a priority to give her patients a natural look. After your brow lift, the tired appearance you previously had will be gone and you will look happy, refreshed, and rejuvenated, as if you just came back from vacation.

FAQs
what Can A Brow Lift Help Correct?
Women and men seeking a rejuvenated, yet natural facial appearance often turn to Dr. Petropoulos for an endoscopic brow lift. With her aesthetic sense, extensive training, skill, and over a decade of experience, Dr. Petropoulos is renowned for delivering natural-looking improvements. She skillfully avoids the unwanted “deer in the headlights” effect, a common concern among patients. A brow lift performed by Dr. Petropoulos offers multiple enhancements: it raises sagging brows, alleviates the bunching of eyelid skin, brightens the tired or sad look often present in the upper face, and softens a stern appearance by smoothing out the frown lines in the mid-forehead. This comprehensive approach ensures a harmonious and refreshed look, perfectly aligning with each patient’s unique features and expectation
Am I A Good Candidate For A Brow Lift?
Men and women who are dissatisfied with the signs of aging in their brow region may find a forehead lift to be an effective solution. Ideal candidates for this surgery are those who do not smoke, have realistic expectations, and are in good physical health, particularly those experiencing wrinkles and sagging in the brow area. Aging signs in the forehead can often convey unintended expressions of seriousness or anger, while drooping eyelids can give a tired appearance. A brow lift can restore a sense of vibrancy and youthfulness. However, it’s important to note that this procedure is not suitable for individuals looking to rejuvenate the lower half of their face. For these patients, especially those showing aging signs in the mid to lower face, a facelift is often a more appropriate recommendation. This distinction ensures that patients receive the most effective treatment for their specific aging concerns.
What are some brow lift risks?
Before you undergo forehead lift surgery, it is essential to understand the potential risks and side effects associated with the procedure. While general surgical risks apply, specific concerns related to brow lift surgery include the possibility of an asymmetrical face, a raised hairline, damage to facial nerves, eye dryness, and hair loss at the incision site. To minimize the likelihood of these complications, it’s crucial to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon. Opting for a board-certified surgeon, like Dr. Anna Petropoulos, MD, FRCS, ensures that you are under the care of a professional who adheres to the highest standards of safety and excellence in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Petropoulos’s expertise and meticulous approach significantly reduce the risk of adverse effects and enhance the overall success and safety of the procedure.
What Are Non-Surgical Alternatives To A Brow Lift?
If forehead lines and creases are your main concern, it’s possible to delay cosmetic surgery with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. At your consultation, Dr. Petropoulos will help you determine which treatment, whether surgical or non-surgical, will best help you achieve your aesthetic goals, based on your skin type, bone structure, and overall health.
