What is a brow lift?

A brow lift (forehead lift) raises sagging eyebrows and smooths horizontal forehead lines and the frown lines between the brows. As brows descend with age they can make you look tired, sad or angry and add heaviness to the upper eyelids. Lifting them restores a refreshed, open-eyed expression.

Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman most often uses an endoscopic technique — tiny hidden incisions in the hairline — for a natural lift with minimal scarring, repositioning the brow rather than simply removing skin.

Do I need a brow lift or eyelid surgery?
