WHAT IS AN UPPER EYEBROW LIFT?

An upper eyebrow lift, also known as a forehead or brow lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate drooping eyebrows, smooth forehead lines, and restore a more youthful and alert appearance. By repositioning the brow and tightening underlying tissues, it enhances facial harmony, opens the eye area, and reduces the appearance of frown lines or hooding over the eyes. At London Harley Street Clinics, our specialists use precise brow-lifting techniques to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results while maintaining facial expression and symmetry.

Treatment Process

An upper eyebrow lift is typically performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation and usually takes 1–2 hours. It includes:

Detailed assessment of eyebrow position, forehead lines, and facial anatomy to design a personalised surgical plan.

General or local anaesthesia with sedation ensures a safe and comfortable procedure.

Incisions are carefully placed along the hairline, within the forehead, or via endoscopic techniques. Underlying tissues are elevated and secured to achieve the desired brow position.

Incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimise scarring and support natural-looking results.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.
