What it is & what it offers
Brow Lift with modern, minimally invasive techniques
Eyebrow lifting (brow lift) is a brief and safe procedure that aims to restore the eyebrows to their youthful position, restoring their natural arch. The purpose of the procedure is to "rest" the gaze, reduce wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, and give a more vibrant and refreshed appearance to the face, boosting the patient's confidence.

What we correct
When can eyebrow lifting help?
The procedure aims at the harmonious rejuvenation of the upper third of the face, adapted to the needs of each patient. It offers significant benefits in the following cases:
- Eyebrow & eyelid droopingRestores the eyebrows to their correct anatomical position, reducing the weight on the upper eyelids.
- Excess skinAddresses skin laxity in the forehead area and around the eyes.
- Crow's feet wrinklesSignificantly improves fine lines and expression wrinkles at the outer corner of the eyes.
- Eyebrow asymmetryCorrects the difference in height or shape between the two eyebrows, creating harmony.
Beauty by Design
A refreshed look, without heaviness on the brow.
Brow lift restores the natural position of the eyebrows, revealing a more rested, rejuvenated look with discreet scars that are usually hidden within the hairline.
Pre-operative preparation
How to prepare for brow lift.
Before surgery, a consultation meeting with the plastic surgeon takes place. The patient informs the doctor about their skin condition, any allergies or sensitivities. For the day of the procedure, instructions are to avoid eyebrow hair removal or the application of exfoliating products beforehand, and to arrive with a clean face and no make-up.
The Procedure
How brow lift is performed step by step
Making the Incision (Depending on the Technique)
Direct brow lift: The incision is made directly at the upper border of the eyebrow hairs (requires a thick eyebrow for coverage). Temporal brow lift: Two small incisions within the temporal hairline (can also be performed endoscopically). Trichophytic brow lift: A popular technique for the forehead and eyebrows with a discreet incision at the hairline.
Lifting and Suturing
The surgeon removes excess skin or places internal sutures for tissue elevation, depending on the technique.
Completion
The procedure is completed with fine sutures. Healing is rapid and the incisions are designed to be discreet.
