What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the brow and smooth the forehead for a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

Over time, the brow can naturally descend, causing the eyes to appear tired or heavy. A brow lift restores balance and openness to the upper face, helping you look alert and revitalised without changing your natural expressions.

Dr Abood has clinics in London and Cambridge, and uses contemporary techniques to reposition the brow and reduce lines across the forehead, tailoring each treatment to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

A brow lift can address:

  • Drooping or heavy eyebrows
  • Frown lines between the brows
  • Horizontal forehead creases
  • A tired or ‘worried’ appearance

This procedure delivers subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation with beautifully natural results.

The Consultation

Dr Ahid Abood - Your Plastic Surgery Consultation

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr Ahid Abood. During this appointment, he’ll take the time to understand your goals, evaluate your facial features, and discuss how a brow lift can enhance your overall appearance.

Dr Abood will assess brow position, skin elasticity, and forehead muscle activity to determine the most appropriate technique – whether an endoscopic, temporal (lateral), or traditional lift. He will explain the procedure clearly, show before-and-after examples where appropriate, and answer any questions you may have about anaesthesia, recovery, or results.

Consultations are relaxed and informative, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident in your decision to proceed. Dr Abood’s priority is to create natural-looking results that restore harmony and balance to your upper face.

The Procedure

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Procedure

On the day of your brow lift, you’ll be welcomed into our modern Cambridge or London clinic by our friendly  team. The procedure is typically carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation, although general anaesthesia may be recommended for certain techniques.

An endoscopic brow lift uses several very small incisions hidden within the hairline. A tiny camera (endoscope) and specialised instruments allow the surgeon to gently lift the brow tissues from beneath the skin. This technique offers precise adjustment with minimal scarring, less swelling, and a faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

A temporal brow lift, also known as a lateral lift, focuses on elevating the outer portion of the eyebrows and smoothing the crow’s feet area. Small incisions are made within the hairline, near the temples, allowing subtle lifting that creates a refreshed, more open eye area. It’s ideal for patients seeking gentle rejuvenation without changing the central brow position.

Whichever approach is used, the aim to create a natural, rejuvenated look that brightens the eyes and softens facial expression, all performed in a calm, comfortable setting.

Aftercare & Results

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Aftercare

Following your brow lift, you’ll receive detailed aftercare guidance and be supported by our experienced nursing team. Patients are able to return home shortly after the procedure, with only minimal downtime required.

You may be advised to rest and keep your head elevated for the first few days. The team will arrange follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly and that you’re delighted with your results. As swelling subsides, you’ll notice a smoother, more lifted brow position and a brighter, more open eye area. The final results appear gradually over a few weeks and can last for many years.

Dr Abood’s approach combines surgical precision with personal aftercare, ensuring your brow lift delivers confidence, balance, and a naturally refreshed appearance.

Potential Risks

While a brow lift is a safe and routinely performed procedure, all surgery carries some risks. Dr Ahid Abood will discuss these thoroughly during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.

Possible side effects may include:

  • Mild swelling or bruising
  • Temporary numbness or tightness
  • Minor scarring hidden in the hairline
  • Slight asymmetry during healing
  • Small risk of infection

Our highly skilled surgical team prioritises your safety, comfort, and wellbeing, taking every precaution to deliver smooth recovery and excellent long-term results.

Related FAQs

What’s the difference between a brow lift and eyelid surgery?

A brow lift raises the eyebrows and smooths the forehead, while eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin or fat from the eyelids. The two procedures can be performed separately or together for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

How long do brow lift results last?

Results from a brow lift typically last between seven and ten years. The treatment offers long-term rejuvenation, and maintaining good skincare and sun protection can help preserve your results.

Will my results look natural?

Dr Abood focuses on achieving a natural looking enhancement, lifting the brow to a natural position without over-correction. The goal is to restore a fresh, relaxed appearance – never a surprised or artificial look.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days, depending on the technique used and individual healing. Dr Abood will provide personalised guidance on when you can safely resume normal activities.
