Brow elevation to rejuvenate your eyes and restore their natural expression

What is a brow lift and what does the procedure involve?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates and repositions the eyebrows when they have descended from their natural position. This displacement can occur as a result of tissue ageing and the gradual loss of skin elasticity, leading to a sadder, tired or aged appearance.

The procedure involves repositioning the tissues that support the eyebrows to restore their height and improve their contour. The aim is to re-establish the balance between the eyebrows and upper eyelids, creating a more open gaze and a harmonious facial expression, while always respecting each patient’s anatomical features and natural expression.

Dr. Sonia Peñarrocha: ophthalmologist specialised in brow lift in Valencia

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that requires precision, experience and an in-depth understanding of the anatomy of the periocular region. The position of the eyebrows is closely related to that of the eyelids and the overall expression of the eyes. Therefore, it is essential to assess all these structures together to achieve a balanced and natural-looking result.

As an ophthalmologist specialised in oculoplastic surgery, I have specific training in the surgical treatment of the structures surrounding the eyes. My knowledge of ocular anatomy and function allows me to assess each case individually and plan the procedure with both facial harmony and the preservation of eye function in mind.

To provide the highest standard of care, my practice is built on three core principles:

Natural-looking results

Each treatment is carefully designed to enhance your natural features, never to change them. The goal is for you to feel confident, comfortable, and like the very best version of yourself

Personalised care

Every patient is unique. I take the time to listen to your concerns, assess your individual case and explain every step of the process in a way that is tailored to your needs

Extensive training

I have extensive training in oculoplastic surgery in both Spain and the United Kingdom, including a two-year fellowship at the prestigious Moorfields Eye Hospital

What types of brow lift surgery are available?

There are different surgical techniques for performing a brow lift. The choice depends on factors such as the initial position of the eyebrows, the degree of descent and each patient’s anatomy.

The main types of brow lift procedures include:

Small incisions are made in the scalp, through which an endoscopic camera and surgical instruments are inserted. This technique allows the forehead and eyebrows to be released and lifted without an extensive incision.

This technique involves removing a small strip of skin just above the eyebrow, allowing it to be lifted precisely and predictably. The incision is placed along the upper edge of the eyebrow, using the hair to help conceal the scar.

This procedure is performed through the same incision used for an upper blepharoplasty, allowing the outer part of the eyebrow to be subtly elevated. This technique avoids additional incisions and visible scars.

Botulinum toxin is injected to relax the muscle that pulls the eyebrow downwards, achieving a slight brow lift. This is a non-surgical option that allows the position of the eyebrow to be subtly improved.

How is a brow lift performed step by step?

Brow lift surgery requires careful planning and a detailed understanding of the anatomy of the periocular region. Every patient has different characteristics, so I carry out an individual assessment of the position of the eyebrows, eyelids and surrounding tissues to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

These are the main stages of the brow lift procedure:

1. Initial consultation and personalised assessment

During the first consultation, we discuss your expectations and I carry out a thorough examination of the periocular area. I assess the position and shape of the eyebrows, the degree of drooping, symmetry between both eyebrows and their relationship with the upper eyelids.

2. Individualised surgical planning

Following the assessment, I determine the most suitable surgical technique for your case. Planning takes into account the degree of brow descent, each patient’s anatomical features and the desired outcome.

3. The surgical procedure

A brow lift is performed using the selected surgical technique as an outpatient procedure. During surgery, I reposition the tissues to elevate the eyebrows and achieve a more balanced position, while always preserving the natural expression of the eyes.

4. Postoperative follow-up

After surgery, I provide personalised follow-up care to monitor your recovery. I will also answer any questions you may have and provide all the necessary instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Recovery and postoperative care after brow lift surgery

Recovery after brow lift surgery is usually gradual and, in most cases, well tolerated. During the first few days, swelling, bruising or a slight feeling of tightness in the forehead and eyebrow area are normal. These symptoms are part of the usual healing process and gradually subside as recovery progresses.

Every patient recovers differently, so returning to daily activities will depend on individual progress and medical recommendations. During the postoperative period, I provide personalised follow-up care to monitor recovery, assess eyebrow position, answer any questions and ensure that healing is progressing properly.

Care after a brow lift

To support proper recovery, it is essential to follow the medical instructions provided after surgery.

Some of the main recommendations include:

Apply cold compresses during the first few days to help reduce swelling, following medical advice.
Maintain proper hygiene around the treated area and incisions.
Avoid strenuous physical activity during the recommended recovery period.
Do not rub or put pressure on the incisions to promote proper healing.
Avoid direct sun exposure to the treated area during recovery.
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor postoperative progress.

Frequently asked questions about brow lifts

How long does a brow lift take?

Brow lift surgery usually takes between one and two hours, depending on the technique used and whether it is combined with other procedures. The results are long-lasting, although the natural ageing process continues over time.

What is the difference between eyebrow lamination and a brow lift?

Eyebrow lamination is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that temporarily changes the direction and shape of the eyebrow hairs to create more defined, fuller-looking brows. In contrast, a brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates and repositions the eyebrow itself when it has descended from its natural position.

Can a blepharoplasty be combined with a brow lift?

Yes, a brow lift and blepharoplasty can be combined when there is eyebrow descent alongside excess skin or bags in the eyelids. An individual assessment helps determine whether both procedures are appropriate to achieve a balanced and natural-looking result.

Is a brow lift the same as a forehead lift?

They are not exactly the same. A brow lift focuses on elevating and repositioning the eyebrows, while a forehead lift addresses sagging in the forehead area and can also elevate the eyebrows.

How much does a brow lift cost?

The cost of a brow lift can vary depending on the surgical technique used, each patient’s anatomical features and the complexity of the procedure. It may also depend on whether it is combined with other procedures, such as blepharoplasty.

To determine the exact cost, an individual assessment during a consultation is necessary. During this initial appointment, I assess each patient’s needs and determine the most appropriate treatment, providing a personalised quote based on their individual requirements.
