Brow Lift

Forehead Lift

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, reduces wrinkles, improves frown lines and places the eyebrows in a youthful position.

How should I prepare for brow lift surgery?

In preparing for brow lift surgery, you may be asked to:

Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
Stop smoking
Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other supplements as they can increase bleeding and bruising

Brow lift surgery should be performed in an accredited surgical facility, a licensed ambulatory surgical center or a hospital.

You will need to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from surgery, and to stay with you the first night following surgery to assure your safety.
