What is an operational
Eyebrow lift?
A surgical eyebrow lift - also known as an eyebrow lift or brow lift - is a proven procedure for lifting sagging eyebrows. Natural skin ageing or genetic predisposition can lead to a tired, sad expression. A surgical brow lift restores the harmonious position of the eyebrows - for an open, fresh facial expression.

Treatment options
We offer different methods depending on the initial findings and the shape of the face:
Direct brow lift: Precise lifting directly above the eyebrow - ideal for pronounced excess skin.
Endoscopic forehead lift: scar-saving technique with small incisions in the hairline.
Temporal brow lift: Lifts the lateral brow area for a soft "fox eye" effect.
Our specialists will advise you individually on which method promises the best results.
Frequently asked questions
-
How long do the results of a brow lift last?
The results of a surgical eyebrow lift are long-lasting - usually several years, often even up to 10 years or longer.
The durability depends on various factors: genetic predisposition, skin condition, lifestyle (e.g. sun protection, avoidance of nicotine) and, of course, the chosen procedure.
As the skin and underlying tissue are tightened during a surgical lift, the result is significantly more stable than with minimally invasive methods such as thread lifting or Botox.
-
Is a surgical brow lift painful?
You will not feel any pain during the operation itself, as the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or twilight sleep. You are therefore relaxed and pain-free. Even after the operation, the pain is usually mild to moderate and easy to control. Many patients only report a feeling of tension or slight pressure in the forehead area in the first few days.
With an individually tailored pain relief plan, we ensure that you feel as comfortable as possible during the healing phase. Most symptoms subside significantly within a few days. It is important to consistently adhere to cooling and physical rest after the procedure - this supports healing and minimizes discomfort. -
Can the Brow Lift be combined with an eyelid lift?
Yes, this is a very common combination. Many patients not only suffer from sunken brows, but also from excess skin on the upper eyelids.
By combining a surgical brow lift with an upper eyelid lift, the entire upper facial area can be harmoniously rejuvenated.
The procedures can usually be carried out in one session, which means that you only have one downtime and a particularly balanced result.
-
Who is a surgical eyebrow lift suitable for?
A surgical brow lift is particularly suitable for people whose eyebrows have visibly drooped - whether this is due to age or genetic predisposition. Typical signs are a tired or tense facial expression, excess skin above the eyelids and a loss of the natural brow shape.
Even if minimally invasive methods such as botulinum toxin or thread lifting do not have the desired effect or only work in the short term, a surgical brow lift can be the long-term and effective solution.
The prerequisites for the operation are good general health and realistic expectations of the result. In a personal consultation, we will check together whether a surgical eyebrow lift is the right method for you - or whether an alternative technique would be more suitable.
