When the outer part of the eyebrow drops, it changes your facial expression: your eyes look sad or tired, and the upper eyelid looks heavier. Lateral brow lift surgery raises this area and brings lightness back to your expression.

Who it is for

People whose eyebrow tail has drooped
People whose eyes look sad or heavy at the sides
People having an upper blepharoplasty who also have a drooping brow

How it is done

A small incision is made at the temple, inside or along the hairline, to lift and secure the tail of the eyebrow. Local anesthesia, with the option of conscious sedation. It takes about 1 hour and can be combined with blepharoplasty.

Recovery

First few days: Swelling of the forehead and temples, a feeling of tightness
7 to 10 days: Stitches removed
2 weeks: Back to social life
2 to 3 months: Final appearance

Care and risks

Asymmetry, temporary changes in sensation and a widened scar may occur. The plan aims for a subtle lift, to preserve your natural expression.

Frequently asked questions
