Types of Browlifts and Eyelifts

Upper Eyelid Surgery

An upper eyelid lift removes excess skin and, if necessary, repositions fat in the upper eyelid for a more alert appearance. This cosmetic procedure is ideal for patients with sagging upper eyelid skin, drooping skin, or conditions that make the eyes appear aged or tired.

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia
  • Recovery: 7–10 days of visible healing; swelling and bruising are common symptoms

Lower Eyelid Surgery

A lower eyelid lift targets puffiness, wrinkles, and sagging skin of the lower eyelids. This cosmetic surgical procedure can tighten the skin, reposition fat, and smooth the lower lid.

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia
  • Recovery: Light swelling and bruising for 7–10 days; full results appear in a few months

Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift, also called forehead lift surgery, elevates sagging eyebrows, smooths frown lines, and rejuvenates the forehead for a brighter, more open expression. Options include a full brow lift or a temporal brow lift for subtle lateral elevation.

  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation
  • Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities in about two weeks; swelling improves steadily with the head elevated

Combination Procedures

Many patients choose to combine an upper and lower eyelid lift to address multiple signs of aging simultaneously. Combining upper eyelid surgery with a full brow lift can smooth frown lines, reduce drooping skin, and enhance peripheral vision, while minimizing risk factors and ensuring a safe healing process.
