Restore a youthful, refreshed look with a brow and forehead lift in Fort Lauderdale

A brow and forehead lift is a surgical procedure focused on smoothing the upper part of the face, repositioning the brow height, and softening deep lines around the forehead and eyebrow area. This technique is ideal to reach a refreshed, youthful, and natural lifted result that restores and refreshes your facial expressions and structure.

A brow and forehead lift is ideal for those who deal with visible signs of aging, such as forehead creases, sagging brows, and frown lines, resulting in a tired, angry, or older appearance. The forehead and brow area are often among the first areas to show signs of aging, 

Whether you’re looking to address low or drooping brows, reduce horizontal lines, or open up the eye area for a more refreshed appearance, a brow and forehead lift is a highly customizable procedure tailored to your anatomy, facial features, and aesthetic goals. Our team of expert plastic surgeons uses advanced techniques using small, well-hidden incisions that create long-lasting results that feel like a rejuvenated version of you. Not a different person.

Your face, your goals — personalized brow and forehead lift surgery

At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, every patient has a different journey, and we understand that every facial rejuvenation should reflect your unique anatomy, lifestyle, features, and aesthetic goals. Our team of expert surgeons is committed to delivering custom and personalized plans for your brow and forehead lift.

We focus on creating plans tailored to suit your anatomy and desired outcome, whether you’re looking to smooth deep forehead creases, elevate sagging brows, or open up the eye for a more refreshed look. A brow and forehead lift plan may include small and precise incisions to lift and reposition the upper part of your face and tighten the underlying tissue. 

Patients often experience a more awake, balanced, and youthful facial appearance, without altering their natural expressions. For many, this is an ideal way to reverse the signs of aging, gravity, or genetics, and restore a look that feels more aligned with how you really feel and your lifestyle. 

The cost of a brow and forehead lift at the South Florida Center starts at $2,499 (not including anesthesia and surgeon fees). Your coordinator will give you your final personalized quote, which will vary depending on the extent of your surgery and if you’re combining any other procedures with your brow and forehead lift.

Your consultant will also walk you through our flexible financing options with trusted third-party companies, using a quick and easy application process. Your dream surgery should feel accessible, and our staff is here to guide you from beginning to end to ensure you make an informed decision.

How a brow and forehead lift works

A brow and forehead lift focuses on elevating drooping brows, smoothing deep horizontal lines and wrinkles, and restoring a more refreshed expression across the upper face. Your surgeon adjusts both the skin and underlying muscle tissue to dramatically reduce signs of aging or heaviness that affect the forehead area. 

Depending on the extent of your case, skin laxity, and goals, your surgeon will choose the most effective technique and incision placement to achieve natural-looking results. 

The technique will be chosen to fit your needs, but the goal is the same: facial refresh without looking overdone. Your final results are smoother, softer, and fresher expressions. All of the incisions are placed strategically to be discreet and easily concealed.

Common surgical approaches include:

endoscopic brow lift

Endoscopic Brow Lift (Minimally Invasive)

This modern technique uses several small incisions hidden within the hairline. A tiny camera (endoscope) is inserted to assist the surgeon in lifting and repositioning the brow tissues with minimal scarring and downtime. Ideal for patients with mild to moderate sagging.

coronal brow lift

Coronal Brow Lift

This classic approach involves a longer incision made ear-to-ear across the scalp, typically behind the hairline. It allows for more significant lifting and smoothing of the entire forehead but may not be suitable for patients with high foreheads or thinning hair.

hairline brow lift

Hairline (Pretrichial) Brow Lift

For patients with a higher forehead, this technique places the incision just along the front hairline. It lifts the brows while avoiding further elevation of the hairline, helping to maintain balanced proportions across the face.

temporal brow lift

Temporal Brow Lift (Lateral Lift)

A focused approach that targets only the outer portions of the brow, using small incisions at the temples, hidden within the hair. This option is ideal for patients wanting a subtle lift to the tail of the brow, especially when combined with eyelid surgery or other facial enhancements.

Customize your brow lift surgery benefits

Lift and rejuvenate the brow line

Over time, the upper part of your face, including the brows, can droop and create a tired or angry appearance. A brow and forehead lift can help you restore and rejuvenate your facial expressions.

Smooth deep forehead lines and creases

A brow and forehead lift can help you smooth out wrinkles across the forehead and between the brows. For many patients, these concerns are deeper and can’t be treated with Botox alone. By tightening the underlying muscles, your surgeon can help you achieve a more relaxed expression.

Open up the eyes

Droopy brows can weigh down the upper eyelids, making your eyes look smaller or hooded. A brow and forehead lift creates a brighter and more awake appearance. This is a great option to combine with procedures like blepharoplasty for a refreshed result.

Restore facial harmony and expression

The brow position plays an essential role in facial harmony and balance. A brow and forehead lift restores the natural arch and position, rebalancing your features and reintroducing softness to your expressions and the upper part of your face.

Improve makeup application and fit of eyewear

Applying makeup and the use of eyewear can become uncomfortable when there’s excess sagging skin in the upper part of your face. After a brow and forehead lift, patients notice a smoother canvas for makeup application, and eyeglasses and sunglasses also fit more comfortably.

Boost self-confidence with a natural-looking result

A brow and forehead lift delivers natural results that still feel like you, without changing your appearance. This procedure creates more harmony and alignment in your facial features. Many patients experience a boost in confidence in their everyday lives.

Surgery and recovery process

30 - 1 Day Before Surgery

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation to review your facial goals, assess your skin and muscle laxity, and determine the ideal surgical approach. You’ll complete pre-op medical clearance, photos, and lab work. Our team will walk you through every step so you feel fully prepared and confident heading into surgery.

Surgery Day

A brow and forehead lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Your surgeon will use either an endoscopic or traditional approach depending on your anatomy and goals. After the procedure, you’ll rest in our recovery suite before heading home the same day with detailed post-op care instructions.

1 Day Post Op

Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness across the forehead and around the eyes are common during this stage. You’ll be advised to keep your head elevated, limit facial movement, and avoid bending over. Cold compresses may be used to reduce swelling.

1 Week Post Op

Most patients return for a follow-up visit around this time. Any sutures or staples (if not dissolvable) may be removed. While you’ll still have some residual swelling and bruising, discomfort typically subsides significantly. Many patients feel ready to resume light daily activities

2 - 3 Weeks Post Op

Swelling and bruising continue to fade, and your new brow position begins to settle into place. You may feel ready to return to work or social events, depending on your comfort level and healing progress. Makeup can help conceal any remaining discoloration.

1 Month Post Op

 Most of the visible signs of surgery have diminished by this point. You’ll start to see the full effect of your lifted brow and smoother forehead. Scars (if any) will begin to fade, especially with proper aftercare and sun protection.

3 - 6 Months Post Op

Final results become more refined as healing completes. Incision lines continue to mature and soften. You’ll enjoy a naturally refreshed, more youthful upper face with improved expression, contour, and confidence.

I could not have made a better decision

I can not say enough great things about about Dr. Pinnella and his staff. I did my research for months not only in my home town, but other states as well and had many consultations. Dr. Pinnella was the first doctor to tell me exactly what I needed and staff was super helpful at the explaining procedures and processes. My post op care was the absolute best. I could not have made a better decision than to come to Miami from Ky and have my surgery done with Dr. Pinnella and staff.

Frequently asked brow & forehead lift surgery questions

What is a brow lift?

A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that helps you reposition your eyebrows, smooth the forehead wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of the frown line, making your eyes look more awake and youthful. This procedure involves small and well-hidden incisions for skin and tissue tightening, creating a more refreshed and natural facial balance

These procedures target the upper third of the face and are often performed together. A brow lift focuses on elevating and repositioning the brows to achieve a more awake look around the eyes, while a forehead lift focuses more on smoothing the horizontal line and tightening the underlying tissue. Combining both approaches can help you achieve a more complete and balanced result.

The ideal candidate for a brow and forehead lift is someone who is in good overall health and is experiencing concerns related to aging, genetics, and/ or gravity. These concerns often include sagging eyebrows, a deep forehead crease, or heavy upper eyelids. Patients choose this procedure to achieve a more youthful upper face, reduce signs of aging, or correct a tired or angry expression.

A brow lift surgery focuses on repositioning the eyebrow, which often smooths the forehead and the upper part of your face. Eyelid surgery, also known as a blepharoplasty, focuses on removing excess skin or fat from the eyelids. These procedures can be performed individually or together for a more complete facial rejuvenation. Your surgeon will help you choose the best approach for your facial features, anatomy, and aesthetic goals.

Depending on the extent of your procedure, your surgeon will choose the best technique to deliver natural and optimal results. A brow lift can include techniques like an endoscopic brow lift, which is minimally invasive, and only requires small incisions behind the hairline, a coronal brow lift, which the traditional incision across the scalp, the hairline (pretrichial) technique, which the incision is placed just along the front hairline, and the temporal/lateral lift, which focuses on lifting the outer brow using small incisions at the temples.

Yes, a brow and forehead lift requires incisions so the surgeon can tighten the underlying tissue; however, incisions are well-hidden within the hairline or natural creases, making the scarring extremely discreet and well-concealed. During your consultation, once your plan is finalized, your surgeon will explain your specific incision placements based on the technique used to achieve the results that match your aesthetic goal.

Most of our patients are cleared to return to light activities and desk jobs within 1-2 weeks. You may experience swelling and bruising, especially during the first couple of days. Patients can enjoy their final results within the 6-8 month mark once the skin has settled in and all bruising and swelling have subsided. Your scars will continue to fade over time; proper care and use of scar cream can optimize the healing process and appearance.

A brow and forehead lift results are considered long-lasting, and patients can enjoy them for about 7-10 years; having a good skincare routine and good sun care can help you maintain the results for longer. Natural aging will continue, but most patients enjoy a refreshed look and facial balance that lasts for many years.

A brow and forehead lift can be combined with other procedures to deliver a more complete rejuvenating transformation. This surgery is often combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), a facelift, neck lift, or dermal fillers. During your virtual consultation, your surgeon will examine your needs and goals and will recommend the best combination for you.

Patients experience mild discomfort and soreness; these symptoms are well-managed with your prescribed and over-the-counter pain medication. It is normal to experience tightness or pressure in the forehead area for the first couple of days, but most patients are cleared to return to light activities within 1-2 weeks and report feeling more comfortable.

A brow and forehead lift is supposed to enhance your natural expressions and refresh your facial structure, so when performed by an experienced surgeon, your final results will never be overdone. Your surgeon is committed to delivering a subtle look that still feels like you.

A non-surgical approach like Botox can temporarily relax the forehead muscles and smooth out lines, but this technique requires maintenance and is not a permanent solution. A brow and forehead lift is a surgical procedure that focuses on tightening skin and tissues and correcting sagging skin or deep wrinkles around the upper part of your face. Your surgeon can help you decide which one is the best option for you based on your facial structure, age, and goals.

Choosing the best technique for your needs is key; an endoscopic brow lift offers smaller incisions, quicker healing, and less scarring. However, if you deal with significant skin laxity and deeper lines around the forehead area, a traditional (coronal) lift may be more effective. During your consultation, your surgeon will help you choose the best technique to deliver optimal results.

A brow and forehead lift price starts at $2,499, surgeon and anesthesia fees not included. Your coordinator will provide your final personalized quote, which will vary depending on the surgical technique, your custom treatment plan, and whether additional procedures are combined. Our team will also walk you through our flexible financing options through trusted third-party companies with an easy and quick application process to support your goals.
