What is a Brow Lift?
Rested. Alert. Naturally Lifted.
A brow lift (forehead lift) elevates the brow position and smooths the forehead — softening horizontal lines, vertical frown lines and the heavy "tired" appearance that brow descent creates.
At BodyCode Aesthetics we use endoscopic or temporal lift techniques tailored to your brow position and forehead anatomy — delivering a refreshed look that is never overdone.
- Elevates descended brows
- Softens forehead and frown lines
- Refreshes the upper third of the face
- Improves heavy upper-eyelid appearance
- Hidden incisions in the hairline
- Long-lasting results
Techniques We Offer
Tailored to your anatomy & goals
Temporal Brow Lift
Focused lift of the outer brow through short incisions at the temples — for lateral brow descent.
Coronal Brow Lift
Traditional technique with longer scalp incision — used for specific anatomies.
Brow Lift + Eyelid
Routine combination — addresses upper face holistically.
Is It Right for You?
Ideal Candidates
Brow lift suits patients with descended brows, heavy upper lids or persistent forehead lines.
Descended Brows
Your brows sit lower than youthful position, contributing to a heavy or tired appearance.
Heavy Upper Eyelids
Apparent eyelid hooding caused partly by brow descent.
Forehead Lines
Persistent horizontal or frown lines you raise your brows to mask.
Good Skin Quality
Reasonable skin elasticity supports a clean result.
Non-Smoker
Strict non-smoking required for incision healing.
Not Suitable If…
Brow lift is not recommended in smokers or patients seeking primarily forehead-line softening (where botulinum toxin may be better suited).

Risks & Considerations
Every patient deserves complete honesty. These risks are rare when surgery is performed by BodyCode Aesthetics' expert team.
Swelling & Bruising
Forehead and around eyes — typically resolves in 1–2 weeks.
Numbness
Temporary scalp numbness common, usually resolves over months.
Hair Loss at Incision
Rare temporary hair thinning around incisions; usually resolves.
Asymmetry
Minor brow asymmetry can occur; revision is rarely needed.
Over- or Under-Lift
Careful planning minimises these; revision possible if required.
Forehead Tightness
Mild tightness for several weeks; settles naturally.
Our Commitment to Safety
Brow lifts performed in fully-equipped facilities with experienced teams.
Will I look surprised or overlifted?
No — that's our priority. We elevate the brow to natural youthful position, never higher. Restraint and assessment of your individual anatomy delivers natural results.
Will a brow lift help my upper eyelids?
Yes — brow descent contributes to apparent eyelid heaviness. Lifting the brow often improves upper eyelid appearance significantly.
Can I have brow lift and eyelid surgery together?
Absolutely — this is one of our most common combinations and gives comprehensive upper-face refresh in a single operation.
How is endoscopic different from coronal?
Endoscopic uses several short hidden incisions and a camera, with faster recovery and minimal scarring. Coronal uses a long scalp incision — used in specific anatomies but less common today.
Will I lose hair?
Rarely — small temporary hair thinning around hidden incisions can occur but usually resolves. Long-term hair loss is uncommon.
How long do results last?
10+ years typical. Your face will continue to age but from a refreshed baseline.
Will I have visible scars?
Scars are hidden in the hairline so are not visible.
Is botulinum toxin (Botox) a substitute?
Botox softens forehead lines temporarily but does not address brow descent. A brow lift is the only surgical solution to true descent.
When can I exercise again?
Cardio from week 3. Full activity from week 4.
