We understand that surgery can be a cause of anxiety – even if it’s a relatively straightforward procedure like this one. That’s why our experienced and caring medical staff will be there for you every step of the way.

There are two types of brow lift:

The classic lift - where one continuous incision is made from one ear to the other, around the top of your hairline.

The endoscopic lift - where a series of smaller incisions are made around your hairline. The doctor inserts a camera probe into these for viewing purposes and then uses special surgical instruments to make the necessary changes. Small anchors are also used to secure the skin during the operation. These are removed a few weeks later.

The endoscopic approach is generally favoured because it is less invasive which usually means a shorter recovery time. However, the classic approach may be more effective - depending on how much work needs to be done to get the desired effect.

The operation will usually take one to two hours, depending on which approach the doctor takes. You will be under a general anaesthetic so you’ll be asleep for the duration.
