Explore brow lift options with EBOPRAS-certified Prof. Dr. Atacan Emre Koçman in Istanbul. A brow lift can raise descended brows and address selected forehead concerns. The achievable position, expression and risks depend on your anatomy and surgical plan.
Free Video ConsultationA 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.
There is more than one way to lift the brow. The right choice depends on your anatomy and the degree of brow descent.
| Feature | Endoscopic brow lift | Classic (coronal) brow lift |
|---|---|---|
| Incisions | Small scalp incisions; placement varies by technique | One longer incision across the scalp |
| Scarring | Shorter incision pattern; scar visibility varies | Longer incision pattern; scar visibility varies |
| Best for | Selected patients after anatomy and hairline assessment | Selected patients where this approach fits the plan |
| Recovery | Individual; initial healing about 10–14 days (ASPS guide) | Individual; complete healing can take months |
| Numbness | Altered sensation is possible and may persist | Altered sensation is possible and may persist |
Surgery may be considered after an individual assessment for patients who have:
A free video consultation can help discuss your concerns and possible options. Final suitability and the surgical plan depend on your medical history and an appropriate clinical examination.
Swelling and bruising can occur. Follow the prescribed dressing and wound-care instructions; these stages are a general guide.
The treating team decides when sutures or clips can be removed and checks healing before increasing activity.
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.
Healing, swelling and scar changes can continue for months; the final appearance varies between patients.
Agree the Istanbul stay and flight date with the treating team after reviews; wound checks, complications and combined procedures may require a longer stay.
Appearance and durability vary with anatomy, healing and ageing. A particular result or duration cannot be guaranteed.

Facial surgery carries risks. For a brow lift or lip lift, the relevant risks depend on the chosen technique, anatomy and health. Discuss procedure-specific complications before deciding:
Individual risk depends on your health, medicines, smoking, anatomy and the planned procedure. Ask the treating team about risk reduction, alternatives, follow-up and what to do if a problem occurs. A particular appearance or complication-free recovery cannot be guaranteed.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
