Treatment overview
What this treatment can — and cannot — do.
A forehead or brow lift repositions descended brow tissue and can reduce heaviness around the upper face when brow position, rather than excess eyelid skin alone, is the main issue. Good planning separates brow descent from eyelid concerns so the correct area is treated.

Treatment pathway
A clear plan from assessment to follow-up.

Short termProtect healing tissueAvoid activities that could irritate, stretch or traumatize the treated area until the advised stage of recovery.
ProgressJudge the result at the right timeSwelling and healing can temporarily distort the early appearance, so final assessment should follow the treatment-specific healing timeline.
Long termMaintain realistic expectationsA brow lift does not replace eyelid surgery when true eyelid skin excess is the main issue, and it cannot stop future ageing.
