Overhanging skin on the upper eyelids can be addressed in two ways: an upper eyelid lift or a brow/forehead lift. In the past, surgeons often considered an upper eyelid lift first to correct sagging. However, today, a brow lift is favoured and achieves the same result.
A brow lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with a facelift to remove excess skin and tighten muscles in the mid and lower face.
How It’s Done
A concealed incision is made across the top of the scalp, beginning above the ears and hidden in the hair. Through this incision, we can modify or remove parts of the muscles that cause frown lines, remove excess skin, and lift your eyebrows to a more youthful level.
Upper Eyelid Option
If your main concern is droopy or extra skin on the upper lid, you might consider a blepharoplasty.
Risks and Side Effects
Complications from a brow lift are rare but can include prolonged numbness and itching and minor hair loss where the scalp incisions were made. Fortunately, any hair loss is often temporary and easy to conceal. Swelling and bruising can clear up within two weeks, and you may use makeup almost immediately. Within a few weeks, you’ll get to enjoy the end results of your transformation.

Is an Eyebrow Lift Right For Me?
Brow lift surgery is a good option for you if you:
- Are physically healthy
- Are a non-smoker
- Have a positive outlook and specific, realistic goals in mind for your appearance
Younger adults with naturally low brows or who already have deep frown lines due to stress or muscle overactivity may also benefit from a brow lift.
Alternative Options
A brow lift can only be performed surgically; non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results but may delay when a brow lift becomes appropriate or complements the surgery results.
Sometimes, patients focus their attention on excess skin in the upper eyelids and not realize that their sagging eyebrows are the cause of the problem. We will explain the benefits of eyelid surgery and brow lifts as each procedure applies to you.
