Restore a refreshed, natural expression with personalized brow lift surgery performed by the board-certified plastic surgeons at PSG in Surrey, British Columbia.

Lift, Refresh, and Rebalance

The eyes and brow region play a key role in facial expression. Over time, the effects of ageing, gravity, and sun exposure can cause the brows to descend and the forehead skin to lose elasticity. This can create a heavy, tired, or “angry” appearance, even when you feel alert and well-rested.

At PSG, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, to gently reposition the brows, smooth forehead lines, and restore a relaxed, youthful expression. By addressing sagging skin and deep creases, this procedure rejuvenates the upper face while preserving your natural facial character.

Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift can restore balance between the forehead and eye area, helping create a refreshed and more approachable appearance. Depending on your concerns, this procedure may help:

Elevate sagging or heavy brows for a refreshed look
Minimize deep forehead lines and creases
Smooth wrinkles between the brows (glabellar lines)
Reduce hooding over the upper eyelids
Create a more open and youthful expression

When appropriate, a brow lift may be combined with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a facelift to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate for a brow lift if you:

Have drooping eyebrows or forehead skin that causes a tired or stern appearance
Notice deep forehead wrinkles or frown lines
Are in good overall health and do not smoke
Have realistic expectations about your results
Desire a more youthful, natural facial expression

This procedure is ideal for patients seeking subtle, refined improvement rather than a dramatic or “over-pulled” appearance.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

During your consultation, your surgeon will carefully examine your forehead, brow position, and hairline, and discuss your goals in detail. Together, you will review the surgical options available and determine which technique best suits your anatomy and desired result.

Your surgeon may also suggest complementary treatment, such as eyelid surgery or non-surgical options like Botox, to enhance your final outcome and ensure balanced rejuvenation.

The Brow Lift Procedure

Brow lift surgery is performed as a day procedure under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with IV sedation. The surgery typically takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. The incisions are placed along or within the hairline, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Through these incisions, the surgeon lifts the skin and underlying tissues, repositions the brows, and may adjust facial muscles to reduce deep creases and smooth the forehead.

The goal is to rejuvenate the upper face while maintaining your natural movement and expression. No hair is shaved during the procedure, and scars are well hidden within the hairline for a discreet result.

Techniques may include:

Traditional (Coronal) Brow Lift: Involves a single incision across the scalp, ideal for patients with significant forehead laxity.
Endoscopic Brow Lift: Utilizes several small incisions and a surgical camera for a less invasive lift with a shorter recovery time.
Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift: Focuses on elevating the outer brow area, often paired with eyelid surgery for targeted improvement.

Your surgeon will determine which approach best suits your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Preparing for Surgery

Before your procedure, you will attend a preoperative appointment to review instructions, medications, and post-operative care. To ensure a smooth surgery and recovery, you should:

Stop taking blood thinners, anti-inflammatory drugs, and certain herbal supplements (such as ginkgo biloba, St. John’s Wort, and high-dose vitamin E) for two weeks before surgery
Avoid smoking before and after the procedure
Schedule hair colouring before surgery, as it should be avoided for at least one month after
Arrange transportation and post-surgery assistance for the first 24 hours

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising during the first two to three weeks following surgery. Discomfort is typically minimal and can be managed with prescribed medication. Typical recovery milestones include:

Light activity: The next day
Return to work: One to two weeks for most patients
Full recovery: Three to four weeks for strenuous activity
Final results: Visible within several weeks, with subtle refinement over six to twelve months

As swelling resolves, the forehead appears smoother, and the brows settle into a naturally elevated position that restores a youthful, refreshed expression.

Possible Risks

Brow lift surgery is safe and effective when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. As with all surgeries, potential risks include:

Temporary swelling or bruising
Scarring (minimal and well hidden)
Numbness or tingling in the scalp or forehead
Asymmetry or uneven brow height
Infection or delayed wound healing

Your surgeon will review all potential risks and ensure you understand each step of your procedure and recovery.

Will a brow lift make me look surprised or unnatural?

No. When performed correctly, a brow lift restores your natural brow position and expression without creating an over-elevated or artificial look.

How long do results last?

Most patients enjoy results that last ten years or longer, although natural ageing will continue gradually.

Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Brow lifts are often performed alongside eyelid surgery or a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Will there be visible scarring?

Scars are hidden within the hairline or natural creases of the scalp and fade significantly over time.
