Clinical Overview
A Brow Lift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate drooping or sagging eyebrows that can make you look tired, angry, or sad. In severe cases, sagging brow tissue pushes down on the upper eyelids, restricting your superior visual field and causing forehead strain from constant lifting. Our ophthalmic plastic surgeons perform direct or endoscopic brow lifts, repositioning the muscles and lifting the forehead tissue to create a naturally alert, refreshed, and youthful contour. The incisions are hidden along natural forehead creases or inside the hairline to ensure invisible scarring.
Advanced Treatment Options & Technology
Your Treatment Journey at SOCH
Pre-Surgical Planning & Vector Mapping
We measure your brow position, mark the lifting vectors, and plan the incision lines to ensure facial symmetry.
Surgical Brow Elevation
Under local anesthesia and conscious sedation, the surgeon lifts the tissues, secures them, and closes with sutures.
Suture Removal & Recovery
Incisions are dressed. Swelling and bruising are normal. Sutures are removed in 7-10 days, and the lift settles naturally.
Ideal Candidate / Eligibility
- Sagging or drooping eyebrows that overhang the eyelids, causing a heavy brow.
- Drooping brows restricting the upper visual field (confirmed via visual field testing).

- Sufficient general health to undergo local anesthesia and sedation.
Recovery Guidelines
Do's (Recommended)
- Apply cold compresses to the forehead and eyes for 48 hours to minimize swelling.

- Keep your suture line clean and apply the prescribed ointment.
Don'ts (Avoid)
- Avoid strenuous exercise, running, or bending over for at least two weeks.
- Do not wash your hair or wet the incisions for the first 48 hours.
- Avoid direct sun exposure on the healing scars; wear a hat and apply sunscreen.
