Deep vertical lines between the eyebrows, furrows on the forehead or overhanging skin in the upper eyelids may make you look tired, angry or older. This may be due to stress, muscle overactivity, or aging. A brow lift will soften these lines and may be performed alone or combined with other procedures like a facelift or eyelid surgery.

The procedure is done under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. This could be done with an incision within the hairline or endoscopically. Sutures are removed within 10 days. The bruising and swelling is apparent for less than 10 days. You may use camouflage makeup within a few days.
