Brow Lift St. Louis
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, is cosmetic surgery that elevates the position of the eyebrows and reduces forehead lines.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, is a cosmetic surgery that elevates the position of the eyebrows and reduces forehead lines, brow creases, and furrows between the eyes. It rejuvenates the upper third of the face and can restore a more alert, pleasant, and youthful appearance.
St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery offers several brow lift techniques based on your anatomy, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.
Benefits of a Brow Lift
- Lifts sagging or low-positioned brows
- Reduces horizontal forehead lines
- Softens vertical frown lines (11s) between the brows
- Restores a smoother, more youthful contour
- Enhances the appearance of the eyes
- Can improve peripheral vision if sagging brows obstruct your field of view
Brow Lift Techniques We Offer
Our skilled surgeon performs multiple brow lift approaches, each selected based on your unique anatomy and preferences:
Endoscopic Brow Lift (Minimally Invasive)
- Small incisions behind the hairline
- Uses a tiny camera to lift and reposition the brow
- Minimal scarring, faster recovery
- Ideal for patients with mild to moderate brow descent
Temporal or Lateral Brow Lift
- Focuses on lifting the outer third of the brow
- Great for patients looking to elevate sagging tails of the brows
- Often combined with eyelid surgery or facelift
Coronal Brow Lift (Traditional/Open)
- Incision from ear to ear along the scalp
- Provides the most dramatic lift
- Best for patients with significant brow drooping
Hairline Brow Lift
- Incision placed at the hairline to avoid raising the forehead
- Ideal for patients with high foreheads who want a lifted brow without adding height
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a great candidate for a brow lift if you:
- Are bothered by a heavy, sagging, or angry-looking brow
- Have deep forehead lines or frown lines
- Feel that your facial expression looks tired, sad, or upset
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations
Brow Lift vs. Botox
Botox can temporarily lift the brow and smooth forehead wrinkles, but a brow lift offers permanent structural correction. Many patients begin with Botox and opt for surgery once they’re ready for longer-lasting results.
During your consultation, we’ll help you determine the best path for your aesthetic goals.
Brow Lift Recovery & Results
- Downtime: Most patients return to work in 10–14 days
- Bruising/Swelling: Peaks within the first week and subsides over 2–3 weeks
- Pain: Typically mild and managed with over-the-counter or prescription medications
- Final Results: Visible in 1–2 months and continues improving as swelling resolves
Scars are well-hidden in the hairline or natural contours of the forehead and fade over time.
