Brow Lift Topics
A brow lift in Beverly Hills can rejuvenate your forehead and raise the eyebrows into a more youthful position. A brow lift subtly lifts the upper eyelids, smooths forehead wrinkles, and takes years off of your appearance. A brow lift can be performed in combination with a facelift, neck lift, or eyelid surgery.
What is a brow lift?
Our Beverly Hills brow lift treats aesthetic issues on the forehead. The surgery reduces the appearance of creases and lifts a heavy, sagging brow. A brow lift can significantly enhance your appearance, particularly if you have a heavily creased, sagging brow.
What are the benefits of a brow lift?
Many men and women develop deep creases across the forehead. The brow drifts downward as the muscles and tissues stretch, leaving the area looking heavy, saggy, and lax. These conditions are all correctable through a brow lift performed by Dr. Robert Cohen. Some of the benefits of a brow lift include:
- Reduces the appearance of deep forehead creases
- Takes years off of your appearance
- Lifts drooping eyebrows into a youthful position
- Subtly lifts eyelids
- Creates an open, approachable, refreshed facial appearance
Am I a candidate?
You could be a candidate if you have heavy lines along the forehead that will not resolve with injectables, peels, or other non-surgical treatments. You may have inherited a particularly heavy brow. As the years pass, the skin and tissue of the forehead can drift lower and lower, leaving you looking older, tired, or even angry. You may be a candidate if:
- You want a smoother, lifted brow
- You are healthy and safe to undergo surgery
- You don’t smoke or are willing to quit
- You want a significant improvement in your facial appearance that lasts
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Robert Cohen today to determine if a brow lift in Beverly Hills is right for you.
The Brow Lift procedure
The brow lift procedure takes about one to two hours and follows these steps:
- General anesthesia or intravenous sedation is administered
- Incisions are made within the hairline or along the hairline depending on the height of your forehead
- Endoscopic surgery may be appropriate, with smaller incisions
- The skin and muscles are tightened, excess fat removed or repositioned
- The incisions are closed
- Protective bandages are placed
You will need to arrange for another adult to drive you home. You should plan to have another person assist you for the first day or two after surgery.
What should I expect during the recovery period?
You will have some post-surgery care instructions to follow. These include how to cleanse the area, what medications to take, and how often. The healing time is about ten to fourteen days, after which you can return to your usual activities, avoiding vigorous exercise until given the okay by Dr. Cohen. You will have follow-up appointments to ensure your healing goes as it should.

Brow Lift FAQs
How long do brow lift results typically last?
Results generally last many years, though natural aging continues. Maintaining healthy skin habits and sun protection helps preserve a youthful contour.
Can a brow lift help with eyelid hooding if I'm not ready for eyelid surgery?
When eyelid heaviness is caused by brow descent, lifting the brow can reduce hooding and improve the upper-eye area. Dr. Cohen will determine whether a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or both are most appropriate.
Will a brow lift change my facial expressions?
A properly performed brow lift should preserve natural expression. Dr. Cohen focuses on lifting tissues without creating a surprised or overcorrected appearance.
Is a brow lift effective for correcting one eyebrow that sits lower than the other?
Yes. Many patients have asymmetry, and a brow lift can help improve balance by elevating each brow according to its natural position.
How soon can I resume wearing makeup after a brow lift?
Most patients can apply makeup once incisions have begun to heal and tenderness decreases, usually within one to two weeks.
Does a brow lift improve fine lines between the eyebrows?
A brow lift can soften some lines, but deeper creases between the brows may also require complementary treatments such as neuromodulators or resurfacing for best results.
How do I know if an endoscopic brow lift is right for me?
Endoscopic techniques use smaller incisions and are suited to certain forehead shapes and tissue needs. Dr. Cohen will evaluate whether this approach is appropriate during consultation.
Can a brow lift be combined with nonsurgical treatments to enhance results?
Yes. Many patients combine brow lift surgery with injectables or skin treatments to improve texture, refine lines, and extend results over time.
