Brow lift refreshes the upper third of the face
A brow lift can improve low brows, forehead heaviness, asymmetry and a tired or stern resting expression. It is often reviewed alongside eyelid surgery because brow position affects the upper lids.
Heavy lids are not always an eyelid problem. Sometimes the brow is the structure that has dropped.
Open expression
Raises brow position for a less heavy upper face.
Lid relationship
Brow position is assessed before eyelid surgery is planned.
Natural arch
The goal is lift without an over-surprised look.
Hidden incisions
Hairline or temple placement is discussed during planning.
What a brow lift can improve
The procedure is about expression, brow position and upper-face balance.
Less hooding from brow drop
Can reduce heaviness that pushes down toward the upper lids.
Forehead softening
Can soften the look of forehead strain and frown tension.
Brow symmetry
Helps improve uneven brow height where suitable.
More awake look
Refreshes without changing eye identity.
Conservative planning
Lift is measured carefully to avoid an artificial arch.
Pairs with blepharoplasty
Often reviewed with upper eyelid surgery for balance.
Is brow lift right for you?
You may be suitable if low brows or forehead heaviness make the upper face look tired, angry or aged.
You may be a good candidate
- Low or heavy brow position
- Forehead heaviness
- Brow asymmetry
- Good general health
- Realistic expectations
- Considering upper eyelid surgery too
It may not be right yet
- Mild lines better suited to non-surgical treatment
- Unrealistic high-brow expectations
- Uncontrolled medical conditions
- Unable to follow scar and activity guidance
From expression assessment to upper-face recovery
The journey reviews brow position, eyelid relationship and incision approach.
Consultation & assessment
Your brow height, forehead movement, eyelid skin and facial expression are reviewed.
Personalised treatment plan
The plan defines lift direction, incision approach and whether eyelid surgery should be combined.
Travel planning to Istanbul
Once your plan is confirmed, appointments, accommodation and transfers are coordinated for a smoother medical trip.
Pre-operative checks
You meet the clinical team in Istanbul and complete the required checks before treatment goes ahead.
Brow lift surgery
The brow is lifted using the chosen technique, with incisions placed to be as discreet as possible.
Recovery & aftercare
You receive swelling, incision and activity guidance before returning home.
Brow lift techniques
Technique depends on hairline, brow shape, degree of descent and whether eyelid surgery is included.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Uses small hairline incisions and internal lifting for selected patients.

Brow lift recovery timeline
Swelling and tightness settle gradually, while incision lines soften over months.
Timeframe
What to expect
Activity level
First 48 hours
Swelling, pressure and bruising are expected. Keep the head elevated and follow medication guidance.
First week
Visible bruising and swelling are usually at their highest. Sutures or splints may be reviewed.
2-3 weeks
Most patients look more comfortable socially, though swelling continues beneath the surface.
4-6 weeks
Exercise and normal routines are gradually reintroduced with clinical approval.
3-6 months
Contours become clearer as residual swelling settles.
12 months
Fine swelling and scar maturation can continue for a full year.
A brighter upper face without a shocked look
The result depends on brow anatomy, forehead movement, skin quality and whether eyelid surgery is combined.
BeforeAfterPersonalised before-and-after examples are reviewed privately during consultation.
What your result depends on
- Starting brow height
- Forehead shape
- Hairline
- Brow asymmetry
- Eyelid skin
- Healing and scar care
Realistic expectations
The goal is a rested expression that still looks like you, not a permanently surprised face.
One area can disguise the other
A low brow can make the upper eyelid look heavier than it really is.
That is why consultation should review both brow position and eyelid skin before choosing surgery.
The arch should still belong to your face
Lift direction is planned around your natural brow shape.
The best brow lift opens the eye area without creating a theatrical arch.
Brow lift cost: UK vs Turkey
The final quote depends on your anatomy, technique, hospital or clinic requirements, anaesthesia, aftercare and whether procedures are combined.

Consultation, surgeon, clinic or hospital, anaesthesia, garments and follow-up fees are often separated, so the final total can rise quickly.
