A Brow Lift, also known as a Forehead Lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging or low eyebrows and smooth out deep horizontal forehead wrinkles and frown lines between the eyebrows. Over time, gravity, sun exposure, and repetitive facial expressions can cause the brow to descend, making you look tired, angry, or sad, even when you're not. At Nairobi Sculpt Aesthetic Centre, our skilled surgeons perform brow lifts to restore a more alert, refreshed, and youthful appearance to your upper face.
A low or heavy brow can sometimes give the impression of excess skin on the upper eyelids, but the underlying issue might actually be the position of the eyebrows. A brow lift can address concerns such as:
During your personalized consultation, our surgeon will carefully assess your facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and the extent of brow sagging and forehead wrinkles. We'll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine if a brow lift alone or in combination with other procedures, like blepharoplasty, would best achieve your desired results. Our aim is to create a naturally refreshed look that opens up your eyes and harmonizes with your overall facial features.
There are several techniques for performing a brow lift, and the most suitable method for you will depend on your specific anatomy and desired outcome. Common techniques include:
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and can take 1 to 2 hours. After surgery, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the forehead and around the eyes. Cold compresses and pain medication can help manage these symptoms. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. The initial results will be visible once the swelling subsides, with final results appearing over several months as your tissues settle.
