Brow Lift (Ptosis of the Brow)

Brow Lift (Ptosis of the Brow) Just as eyelid skin loses elasticity with age, the brow itself can gradually descend, adding to a heavy, tired appearance in the upper face and sometimes contributing to the same vision obstruction caused by drooping eyelids. When brow position is a significant factor, addressing the eyelids alone may not fully resolve either the visual or cosmetic concern, which is why a combined evaluation of the brow and eyelid together is important before planning treatment.
A brow lift repositions the brow to a more youthful, natural height and is frequently performed alongside blepharoplasty or ptosis repair for patients who have sagging in both areas. The procedure can be performed through several techniques depending on the degree of correction needed, with recovery generally similar to that of eyelid surgery. Patients often describe the combined results as a more rested, refreshed appearance rather than a dramatically different one.
