What Can Brow Lift Surgery Improve?

Brow lift surgery may be considered for the following concerns:

• Low or sagging eyebrows
• A tired, sad or heavy appearance around the eyes
• Asymmetry between the eyebrows
• Loose skin around the forehead and brow area
• Deep horizontal forehead lines
• Vertical lines between the eyebrows
• Upper eyelid heaviness caused by a low eyebrow position

A brow lift does not directly remove excess upper eyelid skin or correct under-eye bags. When appropriate, it may be combined with upper or lower eyelid surgery.

Who May Be Suitable for a Brow Lift?

Brow lift surgery may be suitable for individuals who have low or uneven eyebrows, forehead skin laxity or a heavy appearance around the upper eye area.

Suitable patients should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about the outcome. Eyebrow position, facial symmetry, eyelid anatomy, forehead height, hairline and skin quality are evaluated together.

Previous facial surgery, hair loss, eye conditions and regular medications should be reported during the consultation. Final eligibility is determined by the treating surgeon and anaesthesia team.

Your Brow Lift Journey with Fit&Fit

1. Online Preliminary Assessment

The patient shares recent photographs of the face, forehead and eyebrow area from different angles, along with medical history, current medications, previous procedures and aesthetic expectations.

This information is securely forwarded to the relevant doctor for an initial assessment.

2. Personalised Treatment Plan

The surgeon evaluates the position and shape of the eyebrows, forehead anatomy, facial symmetry, hairline and upper eyelids.

A preliminary plan is prepared covering the recommended surgical approach, anaesthesia, hospital arrangements and expected recovery. The final treatment plan is confirmed following an in-person examination in İzmir.

3. Travel and Accommodation Planning

Once the treatment date is confirmed, accommodation, airport–hotel–hospital transfers and follow-up appointments are arranged.

The recommended length of stay in Turkey is determined according to the procedure and the surgeon’s postoperative follow-up plan.

4. Preoperative Examination

After arriving in İzmir, the patient attends an in-person consultation and completes the required medical checks.

The surgeon examines the eyebrows, forehead, hairline and eyelids. The surgical technique, incision placement, expected improvement, limitations, recovery and potential risks are explained before the operation.

5. Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lift surgery may be performed under intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the treatment plan and the patient’s medical needs.

Different techniques may be used, including endoscopic, temporal or hairline approaches. Incisions are generally positioned within the hairline or natural facial contours whenever possible.

During the procedure, the surgeon repositions the forehead and eyebrow tissues. The eyebrows are carefully elevated to create a more balanced position without producing an unnatural or overly surprised appearance.

The surgical technique and duration vary according to the patient’s anatomy, hairline, eyebrow position and personalised treatment plan.

6. Postoperative Care

Swellingline and bruising may develop around the forehead, eyebrows and upper eyelids. Temporary tightness, numbness, itching or changes in scalp sensation may also occur.

A dressing or supportive band may be applied when necessary. Patients are usually advised to keep their head elevated, protect the incisions and avoid bending, heavy lifting and strenuous activity.

Medication, incision care and hair-washing instructions are provided by the medical team. Return travel should only be planned after the postoperative examination and the surgeon’s approval.

Brow Lift Recovery

Swelling and bruising are generally more noticeable during the first week and gradually improve. Sutures or surgical clips are removed according to the surgeon’s follow-up plan.

Many patients can return to social activities and non-physical work within approximately 10–14 days. Exercise and physically demanding activities should only be resumed after medical approval.

The eyebrow position and forehead contours continue to settle as swelling decreases. Complete healing, scar maturation and the final result may take several months.

Possible Risks of Brow Lift Surgery

As with every surgical procedure, brow lift surgery may involve certain risks:

• Bleeding or infection
• Reaction to anaesthesia
• Temporary or persistent numbness
• Changes in scalp sensation or itching
• Eyebrow or facial asymmetry
• Visible or unfavourable scarring
• Hair loss around the incisions
• Changes in the position of the hairline
• Eye irritation or dryness
• Fluid accumulation
• Delayed wound healing
• Rare facial nerve injury or muscle weakness
• The possibility of revision surgery

The surgeon will explain the potential risks relevant to the patient’s medical history, facial anatomy, hairline and planned surgical technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a brow lift and eyelid surgery?

A brow lift repositions low or sagging eyebrows and improves the forehead area. Eyelid surgery removes or adjusts excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. The procedures may be combined when medically appropriate.

Will a brow lift make me look surprised?

The procedure is planned according to the patient’s natural eyebrow position, facial proportions and desired outcome. The aim is to create a refreshed and balanced appearance rather than an excessively elevated eyebrow position.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are generally positioned within the hairline or natural facial contours. Scar appearance varies according to the selected technique, skin characteristics and healing process.

Can a brow lift correct eyebrow asymmetry?

Surgery may improve differences in eyebrow position. However, natural facial asymmetry cannot always be eliminated completely.

Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?

When medically appropriate, a brow lift may be combined with upper or lower eyelid surgery, facelift surgery or other facial procedures.

How long do brow lift results last?

Brow lift surgery can provide long-lasting improvement, but it does not stop the natural ageing process. Genetics, skin quality, lifestyle and sun exposure may influence the longevity of the result.

How much does a brow lift in Turkey cost?

The cost depends on the surgical technique, anaesthesia, hospital services, accommodation period and whether additional procedures are included. A personalised quotation is prepared after the doctor’s assessment.
