What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, or a forehead lift, is an effective cosmetic procedure that alters the brow area above the eyes. A brow lift not only addresses the concerns with the eyebrows but may also address redundant or loose skin in the upper eyelids. This procedure expertly addresses various concerns.

With a brow lift, eyebrow lift, or forehead lift, you can:

  • Lessen the appearance of rhytids and eyebrow lines across the forehead
  • Reduce frown lines
  • Adjust a low brow that hoods your eyelids.

Choosing our clinic for your brow lift means working with a team focused on patient care, safety, and supporting your individual goals for treatment. 

What to Expect

What to expect?

Your first step to having an eyebrows lift is to schedule an appointment with Dr Khan at West Coast Plastic Surgery. Get your GP to send us a referral so we can apply for a Medicare rebate for your consultation (special conditions apply from Medicare) for a brow lift. You can also contact us by phone at 0862303041 or by fax at 0862303042. Alternatively, you can send an email to admin@wcps.au. You will be contacted by a team member to book your appointment. You can ask any questions you may have about brow lift surgery.

Some swelling, numbness, and discomfort may occur as part of the healing process for an eyebrow lift. Medications are available to control these side effects. You will receive more detailed instructions following your procedure from Dr Khan. Initial healing can take up to 7-10 days. After that, you can resume work and everyday activities. The entire healing process will take several weeks. Following your surgeon’s instructions, maintaining a clean wound, keeping the head upright and using sun protection is very important. With a brow lift, the results will last for years.

After your first consultation with Dr Khan, he will assess your aging signs and make a bespoke treatment plan which is perfect for you and will provide you with the cost for this personalised procedure.

An Overview of the Brow Lift Procedure

Before the Procedure

The journey begins with a personalised consultation at West Coast Plastic Surgery. Dr. Khan will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic desires, and explain the procedure in detail. Pre-operative guidelines, tailored to your specific needs, will be provided to ensure you are fully prepared for the surgery.

During the Procedure

The brow lift procedure, performed under anaesthesia for your comfort, involves carefully making incisions, typically along the hairline or in the forehead’s creases. Dr. Khan employs advanced techniques to minimise scarring and discomfort. The underlying tissues are lifted and repositioned, and excess skin is removed, resulting in an elevated brow with reduced frown lines, and an elevated, more youthful brow line. Some common brow lift procedures that can be performed include a Endoscopic brow lift (also known as a Temporal Brow Lift), a Direct Brow Lift and a Transpalpebral Browpexy.

After the Procedure

Post-operative care is crucial for optimal results. You will receive comprehensive aftercare instructions, including tips for reducing swelling and managing discomfort. Recovery varies by individual, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your healing process and ensure you are delighted with the results.
