As we age, the brows naturally descend and forehead lines deepen, often making the face appear tired or stern.
A lifted brow can change the entire conversation your face has with the world, opening the eyes, softening frown lines, and restoring an alert, refreshed expression.
It is often chosen to restore a fresher, youthful appearance by lifting sagging brows and softening forehead lines.
A brow lift gently elevates the eyebrows and smooths forehead lines, helping restore a brighter, more youthful expression. Many people choose this procedure to reduce sagging brows, ease frown lines, and refresh the overall look of their eyes and face.
Dr. Adel Quttainah offers refined techniques and an aesthetic eye to deliver natural-looking results for a brow lift in Dubai, tailored to your facial harmony.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that elevates sagging eyebrows and smooths lines across the forehead and between the brows.
By adjusting skin, muscle, and supporting tissues, it can soften horizontal forehead creases, vertical “11” lines, and the hooding that can weigh down the upper eyelids, creating a brighter, more youthful look.
Who is an ideal candidate?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Notice heavy or low-set brows, forehead lines, or persistent frown lines
- Feel your eyes look tired, angry, or less open than they used to be
- Are in good general health, do not smoke (or can stop before/after surgery), and have realistic expectations
Many people combine a brow lift with eyelid surgery, a facelift, or nonsurgical skin rejuvenation for a balanced, full-face refinement.
Techniques For Brow Lift
Dr. Quttainah selects the approach that best fits your anatomy, goals, and hairline characteristics:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift (Minimally Invasive): A tiny camera and instruments gently elevate and secure tissues through small, hidden incisions within the hairline. This option typically offers less scarring and a smoother recovery, which is ideal for those seeking an endoscopic brow lift in Dubai.
- Coronal (Classic) Brow Lift: An incision placed across the scalp (ear to ear, within the hair) allows broader access to lift and reposition tissues. For most patients, scars are concealed in the hair.
- Anterior Hairline Brow Lift: For patients with a high hairline, an incision just at the hairline can elevate the brow without further raising the hairline. Meticulous closure helps blend the scar along the hairline.
- Temporal (Lateral) Lift: Targets outer brow descent and crow’s feet area with shorter incisions near the temples; often selected for a subtle outer-eye lift.
Your Procedure Experience
Most brow lifts are performed as a day procedure. General anesthesia or IV sedation, along with local anesthesia, is often used. Incisions are carefully planned to conceal scars. Once the tissues are lifted and secured, incisions are closed with sutures, adhesives, or clips.
If placed, a small drain is removed at an early follow-up.
Recovery & Results
- Early days: Expect swelling, mild tightness, and bruising around the forehead and eye area. Keep your head elevated, use cold compresses as directed, and follow your medication plan.
- Back to routine: Many patients feel presentable for light social activities in 10–14 days; timing varies by technique and individual healing.
- Final look: As swelling settles over several weeks, the brow rests higher and smoother, the upper eyelids appear less heavy, and the eyes look more open and refreshed. Good skincare, sun protection, and healthy habits help prolong results.
Safety & Potential Risks
- Bleeding or infection at the incision site
- Delayed wound healing
- Temporary or persistent numbness around the forehead or scalp
- Hair changes near incision areas
- Elevated hairline in some techniques
- Asymmetry or uneven results
- Fluid accumulation under the skin
- Visible scarring
- Rare risk of nerve injury
Getting the surgery performed with an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks.

FAQs
No. A brow lift elevates the eyebrows and smooths forehead/frown lines; eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess eyelid skin/fat. They’re often combined for comprehensive eye-area rejuvenation.
It depends on the technique. A coronal lift can slightly raise the hairline; an anterior hairline approach can lift brows without raising it further.
The results are long-lasting, but the face continues to age. Good skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle choices help maintain a refreshed look.
Light desk work is often possible in 1–2 weeks. More strenuous exercise usually resumes after your surgeon’s clearance, frequently around 3–4 weeks, depending on healing.
Many patients are, especially those with mild-to-moderate brow descent and good skin quality. A detailed exam will confirm whether the endoscopic approach is right for you.
