What is a brow lift?

A brow lift (forehead lift) repositions descended eyebrows and may reduce selected forehead or frown lines. Brow descent can add heaviness above the eyes. The examination distinguishes brow position from excess eyelid skin and other causes.

An endoscopic brow lift uses small scalp incisions; a classic approach uses a longer incision. Technique selection depends on anatomy, hairline and the planned change. Scarring, hairline changes and altered sensation are possible with either approach.

Endoscopic vs. classic brow lift

There is more than one way to lift the brow. The right choice depends on your anatomy and the degree of brow descent.

About 10–14 days

The ASPS patient guide gives 10–14 days for initial healing. Your return to work and activity depends on the operation, progress and your work.

Following months

Healing, swelling and scar changes can continue for months; the final appearance varies between patients.

Travel planning

Brow lift — frequently asked questions

What is a brow lift?

A brow lift repositions descended eyebrows and may address selected forehead or frown lines. Endoscopic and classic approaches differ in incision pattern; suitability and achievable changes require an individual assessment.

Do I need a brow lift or eyelid surgery?

Brow descent and excess eyelid skin can both cause heaviness, and other eye conditions may also contribute. An examination is needed before choosing brow lift, blepharoplasty, combined surgery or another option.

How long do brow lift results last?

Durability varies with anatomy, skin quality, healing and ageing. No fixed duration or brow position is guaranteed; discuss realistic expectations and the possibility of further treatment.

What is the recovery like?

ASPS gives about 10–14 days for initial wound healing, while complete recovery can take months. Suture removal, return to work, exercise and the Istanbul stay are agreed individually with the treating team.

How much does a brow lift cost in Turkey?

The price depends on the planned procedure, anesthesia, facility and any combined treatments. Request a written, personalized quote through the free video consultation and confirm inclusions, exclusions and additional-care costs.

Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?

A brow lift may be combined with eyelid surgery or a facelift when individually appropriate. Combined surgery changes risks and recovery, so discuss alternatives and whether separate procedures are preferable.
