Brow Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct a drooping or sagging brow. When the brow descends, it can create a tired, angry, or sad appearance and can even cause the upper eyelids to look hooded. By repositioning the brow to a more youthful, natural height, a brow lift can dramatically rejuvenate the upper third of the face, opening up the eye area and creating a more refreshed and approachable expression.

Mr Ahmed Ibrahim, a Consultant Plastic Surgeon, offers a range of brow lift techniques tailored to your unique facial anatomy, brow shape, and aesthetic goals. The goal is always a natural, harmonious result, never an over-lifted “surprised” look.

This is the most common modern technique. Using a small camera (endoscope) inserted through tiny scalp incisions, Mr Ibrahim can visualise and adjust the muscles and tissues responsible for brow descent. The brow is lifted and secured in its new position, often with tiny, dissolvable fixation devices.

Ideal for: Patients with mild to moderate brow droop and a normal to high hairline who desire the smallest possible scars.

As described on your current page, this technique offers the most powerful and precise lift. It is particularly useful for men with heavy, low brows, for correcting significant asymmetry, or when other techniques have failed. The trade-off is a fine scar along the brow, which is expertly placed to be concealed within the brow hairs.

Ideal for: Patients with significant brow ptosis, thick skin, or those seeking a very powerful, durable correction.

Comprehensive Consultation

Mr Ibrahim will assess your facial anatomy, brow position, muscle strength, skin quality, and hairline. He will listen to your goals and recommend the single best technique, or combination of techniques, for your unique face. He will show you before-and-after photographs and explain the expected scar, recovery, and outcome in detail.

Personalised Surgical Plan

You will receive a clear, written plan outlining your chosen technique, anaesthesia (usually local with sedation or general), and the precise goals of your surgery.

The Procedure

Performed in an accredited private hospital. Operating time varies from 45 minutes (direct lift) to 2 hours (endoscopic lift).

Recovery & Aftercare
