Facial Rejuvenation Procedures
Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Elevate the brows and smooth wrinkles in the upper face. Excess skin is removed and tissues tightened to restore a rejuvenated forehead, eyebrow, and eyelid area, a natural complement to a deep plane facelift.
Overview
Brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, elevates the brows and improves wrinkles in the upper portion of the face. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the tissues to restore a rejuvenated appearance in the forehead, eyebrow, and eyelid areas.
A deep plane facelift focuses on the midface, jawline, and neck, so the forehead and brow are often addressed separately. When the brows have descended, pairing a brow lift with a deep plane facelift rejuvenates the upper third of the face and keeps the overall result balanced.
Benefits
Why patients choose Brow Lift
02
Corrects Frown Lines
Vertical furrows between the brows soften, helping you express a more cheerful facial appearance.
03
Rejuvenates Your Eyes
Drooping brows that hang over the eyes can make you appear tired or angry. A brow lift restores a more alert and friendly appearance.
04
Balances a Facelift
Lifting the brows alongside a deep plane facelift rejuvenates the upper face so it matches the refreshed midface and neck.

Techniques
Approaches Dr. Hua uses
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Utilizes several tiny incisions hidden within the hair. An endoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) allows Dr. Hua to see and adjust internal structures with precision.
- Minimal scarring concealed within the hairline
- Best for patients without significant excess skin
- Faster recovery time than a classic brow lift
Classic Brow Lift
Utilizes an incision hidden along or within the hairline above the forehead. Tissues are lifted and adjusted, excess skin is removed, and the new brow position is secured with sutures.
- Most dramatic correction for significant brow descent
- Removes more excess forehead skin than the endoscopic technique
- Some numbness behind the incision may persist for 9 to 12 months
