A Subtle Refinement For A Dramatic Outcome

If your resting expression makes you look constantly tired, worried, or even angry, it could be due to a heavy or drooping brow. A surgical brow lift can reposition the brow line, smooth forehead creases, and restore a more relaxed, refreshed appearance—without changing your features.

At Moradi MD in San Diego, brow lift surgery is carefully customized to your features to create the most harmonious result. Our practice is convenient to the entire San Diego area and welcomes patients from Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista, Encinitas, and beyond.

What Is A Brow Lift?

A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure to raise the brow and smooth forehead creases, treating the signs of aging on your upper face. The procedure can correct a low or sagging brow, smooth deep creases between the eyebrows, and open up the eye area. At Moradi MD, brow lift surgery is performed with meticulous techniques to enhance your natural facial structure without creating a look that appears overly pulled or artificial.

What Are The Benefits Of A Brow Lift?

  • Elevates the brow to a more youthful, natural position
  • Softens deep horizontal forehead lines
  • Reduces vertical lines between the brows (“11s”)
  • Opens up the upper eyelids for a brighter, more appealing facial appearance
  • Creates a more alert and rested expression
  • Long-lasting results with subtle, natural refinement

A brow lift could be performed in combination with customized eyelid surgery, a facelift, or a neck lift for a truly age-defying change.

Are You A Candidate For A Brow Lift?

You may be a candidate for a brow lift if you are living with any of these aesthetic facial issues:

  • Your eyebrows have drifted lower over the years.
  • You often look tired, angry, or sad—even if you are well-rested and cheerful.
  • You have deep forehead creases. 
  • You have etched-in frown lines between your eyebrows.
  • You have an overhanging, heavy brow.
  • You have good skin elasticity and are in overall good health.
  • You want a surgical solution for long-lasting rejuvenation of the upper face.

Brow lift surgery can be performed alone or as part of a more comprehensive facial procedure plan.

What Is the Brow Lift Recovery?

Recovery from a brow lift is usually uneventful and swift. Most patients return to work and light activities in seven to ten days. It is normal to experience mild swelling, tightness, or bruising around the forehead and eyes, subsiding over the first week or two.

You will need to keep your head elevated, avoid vigorous physical activity, and follow our post-op instructions for optimal healing. Results become more refined as swelling fades over the next several weeks. Your new brow position will appear smoother, lifted, and more youthful—you will look younger, more vital, and significantly refreshed.

Types Of Brow Lifts What’s Right For You?

  • Endoscopic brow lift: Minimally invasive with small incisions and shorter recovery time
  • Temporal brow lift: Targets the outer brows for subtle lateral elevation
  • Classic coronal lift: Provides the most significant lift with longer incisions within the hairline
  • Direct brow lift: For select candidates, especially men, with incisions directly above the brows

Other Procedures The Journey To A More Youthful Look 

  • Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): Addresses heavy lids and puffiness for more open, youthful eyes
  • Facelift: Corrects sagging in the mid and lower face to complement the brow
  • BOTOX®: A temporary, non-surgical option to soften forehead and frown lines
  • Dermal fillers: Can help smooth the deeper creases and enhance brow lift results
  • Laser skin resurfacing: Improves skin tone and texture for a more youthful finish

Will a brow lift change how I look?

A properly performed brow lift won’t make you look different—just well-rested, restored, and lifted. You’ll still look like yourself but more approachable and youthful.

Will I have scars?

Incisions are carefully hidden behind the hairline or in natural creases. Once healed, most scars are very difficult to detect.

How long do the results of a brow lift last?

Brow lift results are long-lasting, though your skin will continue to age naturally. Most patients enjoy their results for many years with good skincare and sun protection.

Can I combine a brow lift with other procedures?

Yes. It’s commonly combined with eyelid surgery, facelift, or non-surgical treatments for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Is a brow lift painful?

Discomfort is usually minimal and well-managed with medication. Most patients experience tightness or mild pressure, not intense pain.

Should I have a brow lift or BOTOX injections?

BOTOX relaxes the muscles that create lines but does not physically lift the brow. A surgical brow lift repositions the tissue for more dramatic and lasting results.
