Brow Lift
A Brow Lift is a surgical procedure that elevates a descended or low-set brow to restore a more youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance. Many patients focus on excess upper eyelid skin when, in fact, it is brow descent that is the underlying cause — and a brow lift addresses this more directly and effectively.
Performed by Dr. Adibfar at Elements Toronto, a brow lift can be performed alone or in combination with a facelift to address the middle and lower face simultaneously. Even younger patients may benefit, particularly those with a naturally low brow or deep-set frown lines.
Dr. Adibfar will assess brow position, upper eyelid skin, and hairline height to determine the most appropriate technique. Surgical approaches use incisions hidden within the hair or just in front of the hairline, allowing muscles to be modified, skin to be tightened, and the brows to be elevated.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery varies from patient to patient, but the following timeline provides a general guideline:
- First 48–72 hours: Swelling and mild discomfort are expected. Head elevation and cold compresses as directed will help manage initial swelling.
- Week 1: Bruising and swelling improve noticeably. Avoid strenuous activity. Makeup can typically be resumed almost immediately following the endoscopic approach.
- Weeks 1–2: Most patients return to work and non-strenuous activities. Swelling and any bruising around the eyes will have largely resolved.
- Weeks 3–6: Any residual swelling and numbness continue to resolve. Exercise may be gradually reintroduced once cleared by Dr. Adibfar.
- 3–6 months: Final results are fully apparent. Minor temporary hair loss near incision sites, if it occurs, will have resolved. The lifted, refreshed brow position is long-lasting.
Dr. Adibfar will provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor your healing closely throughout your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome
