Reduces the appearance of horizontal forehead lines and furrows.
Lifts drooping eyebrows to a more natural position, helping to open up the eye area.
Enhances facial harmony by addressing unevenness between the brows.
Provides a more relaxed, rested facial expression.
During consultation, we’ll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and assess whether a forehead lift is appropriate. Common reasons people consider this procedure include:
Prominent horizontal lines or deep furrows.
Low or drooping brow position.
Vertical creases between the eyebrows.
Uneven forehead or brow height.
Refining or improving results from earlier aesthetic surgery.
We begin by discussing your concerns and expectations, performing an assessment, and outlining a tailored surgical plan.
You’ll receive pre-operative instructions designed to support safety and a smooth recovery.
The surgery is performed under anaesthesia. Techniques may vary depending on individual anatomy but typically involve repositioning underlying tissue and removing excess skin to achieve a balanced appearance.
Mild swelling and bruising are expected for the first one to two weeks. Healing times differ between individuals. You’ll receive detailed aftercare guidance and follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
All surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, temporary numbness, or reactions to anaesthesia. These will be discussed in detail during consultation to help you make an informed decision.
Results from a forehead lift can be long-lasting, but natural ageing, genetics, and lifestyle factors may gradually affect the outcome over time.
Typically, patients can return to regular activities within 7-10 days, but avoiding strenuous activities for 3-4 weeks is advised.
Forehead lift incisions are usually made along the hairline or on the scalp, making any resultant scars less noticeable.
Patients should generally wait about 3-4 weeks post-procedure before engaging in heavy physical activities.
Results from a forehead lift are generally long-lasting, although the face and forehead will continue to age naturally over time. Maintaining healthy habits can help support your overall skin and tissue condition.
Your satisfaction is essential to us. We're ready to address any concerns and discuss potential corrective measures or additional procedures.
Steps include avoiding certain medications, not smoking, and ensuring good health. We'll guide you through every step.
A forehead (brow) lift is a surgical procedure and, as with all surgery, carries inherent risks and potential complications. These may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, pain, infection, delayed wound healing, and adverse reactions to local or general anaesthesia. Scarring is unavoidable and varies between individuals. While incisions are typically placed within the hairline or natural creases to minimise visibility, scars may become thickened, widened, pigmented, or heal unpredictably. Changes in skin sensation, including numbness, tingling, tightness, or altered sensitivity of the forehead, scalp, or brow region, are common and usually improve over time, though in some cases may be prolonged or permanent. Temporary or, rarely, permanent hair thinning or hair loss may occur near incision sites. Asymmetry, contour irregularities, overcorrection or undercorrection of brow position, or dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcome may occur. Revision surgery may be required in some cases. Injury to underlying structures, including nerves or muscles, is uncommon but possible and may result in weakness, altered brow movement, or changes in facial expression, which are usually temporary but may be permanent in rare cases. Skin compromise or delayed healing may occur, particularly in individuals with reduced blood supply, significant skin tension, or in smokers. More serious but uncommon complications can include blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), haematoma requiring surgical evacuation, or the need for further surgical intervention. Results are variable and cannot be guaranteed. Individual risk depends on factors such as age, skin quality, smoking status, medical history, surgical technique, and healing response. These risks, along with alternatives, limitations, and expected recovery, will be discussed in detail during your consultation to support informed decision-making.
Costs can vary based on individual requirements and the specifics of the surgery. We'll provide a detailed cost structure during our consultation.
