As you age, your brow can start to show signs of sagging and drooping, which may contribute to a tired or unhappy appearance. At the Plastic Surgery Center of Hampton Roads, we understand the impact aging can have on your forehead and offer personalized brow lift surgeries to restore a more youthful and refreshed look.
Restore Your Youthful Brows
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that targets the upper portion of your face to address issues related to brow position and appearance. Over time, the effects of gravity and the natural aging process can lead to a descent of the eyebrows, causing wrinkles, sagging, and an overall tired or stern expression. This can impact your self-esteem and how others perceive your emotions.
During a brow lift, our board-certified plastic surgeons carefully reposition the brow and forehead tissues to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position. This can smooth out wrinkles, open up your eyes, and create a more alert and approachable appearance. The procedure is often customized to suit your facial anatomy and desired results, whether it involves traditional surgeries or minimally invasive approaches like endoscopic brow lifts.
Brow Lift Treats:
- Brow sagging and drooping
- Forehead wrinkles and lines
- A tired or stern facial expression
- Deep furrows between the eyebrows
- Hooded or heavy upper eyelids
The Types of Brow Lift Include…
Traditional Brow Lift
During the traditional brow lift, also known as a coronal brow lift, an incision is made along the hairline, allowing the surgeon to reposition the brow tissues. This is ideal for moderate to severe brow sagging and deep forehead wrinkles. Traditional brow lifts provide long-lasting results.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
An endoscopic brow lift involves several incisions made within the hairline through which an endoscope and other instruments are inserted to reposition the tissues. It offers less scarring and reduced recovery time and can effectively address mild to moderate signs of aging.

Before & After
*Each patient is unique, and individual results may vary.
Brow Lift Surgery in Hampton Roads
A brow lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure your comfort. Your plastic surgeon will select one of two techniques based on your unique needs – the traditional brow lift or the endoscopic approach. In the traditional method, an incision will be made along the hairline. Alternatively, for an endoscopic brow lift, multiple small incisions will be made within the hairline.
In both techniques, your surgeon will gently lift and reposition the underlying brow tissues. The traditional approach involves the adjustment of a larger area of tissue through the incision, while the endoscopic method utilizes specialized instruments and an endoscope to access and reposition tissues. The goal is to correct sagging and wrinkles and achieve the desired brow contour. After repositioning the tissues, your surgeon will close the incisions.
Brow Lift Recovery Guidelines:
- Ensure you get plenty of rest in the days immediately following your surgery.
- Keep your head elevated when lying down to reduce swelling.
- Apply cold compresses to the treated area to minimize swelling and discomfort.
- Take prescribed pain medications and follow your surgeon’s instructions.
- Protect your incisions from sun exposure and use sunscreen when going outside.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for a few weeks.
- Adhere to all post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon.
- Gradually reintroduce your daily activities as advised by your surgeon.
- Be patient, as full results may take some time to become evident.
