Find out if you could be a good candidate for an eyebrow lift to improve how your eyes look and function.
What an Eyebrow Lift Helps With
An eyebrow lift focuses on the area just above the eyes, not the eyelids themselves. When the brows sit lower than they used to, it can cause the upper eyelids to look heavy. People with deep forehead creases or a persistent tired expression often consider this procedure.
While eyelid surgery removes excess skin directly from the lids, an eyebrow lift raises the position of the brow itself. In some situations, both procedures might be needed. An in-person exam is the best way to determine the right approach.
Signs You Might Be a Good Candidate
Most eyebrow lift patients are healthy adults who have noticed a gradual change in the shape or position of their brows. Ideal candidates:
- Have sagging or flat brows that rest too close to the eyes
- Are healthy with no serious medical conditions
- Don’t smoke or are willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
- Are bothered by forehead wrinkles or a heavy, tired look
- Want surgical results rather than temporary solutions like Botox
Everyone’s anatomy is different, so the decision to move forward with a brow lift depends on your facial structure and skin elasticity.
