Eyebrow Lift London | Jonathan Britto Clinic
We all expect a few well-earned lines and wrinkles as we age. They are a natural part of life and expression. However, other facial changes such as sagging brows, loose skin, and diminished tissue volume often come as an unexpected and less welcome surprise. If you have noticed that your brow has become lower, furrowed, or heavy-looking, you may appear older, more tired, or even less approachable than you actually feel.
Why the Brow Ages
Dynamic expressions like frowning or raising the eyebrows can lead to deep vertical lines between the brows (commonly known as frown lines) and horizontal lines across the forehead. Meanwhile, factors such as hormonal changes and genetics can further reduce skin firmness, resulting in a sagging brow that may make you look constantly fatigued or concerned.
These changes can not only impact how others perceive you but may also affect how you feel about your own appearance.
What is an Eyebrow Lift?
Also known as a forehead lift, an eyebrow lift is a surgical procedure that aims to lift the brow, smooth out deep lines, and improve the overall contour of the forehead. The result is a naturally refreshed appearance that restores a more youthful expression and enhances your facial symmetry.
The procedure involves adjusting and tightening the underlying tissues of the forehead to raise the position of the brows. By doing so, the eye area appears more open and alert, and the skin across the upper face becomes smoother and firmer.
What Are the Benefits?
Each year, thousands of individuals choose to undergo an eyebrow lift because the results speak for themselves. Lifting a sagging brow has the power to:
The procedure not only rejuvenates the face but also helps patients feel more in control of the expressions they present to the world. You may find that you look more rested, positive, and engaged—even without changing a single thing about your routine or lifestyle.
How Is It Performed?
At Jonathan Britto Clinic, we take an individualised approach to every eyebrow lift. The most suitable surgical method will depend on your facial anatomy, the extent of brow sagging, and your desired outcome. Whenever appropriate, we favour a minimally invasive technique known as the endoscopic brow lift.
This method involves a few small incisions made just behind the hairline. Through one incision, a thin instrument fitted with a tiny camera (called an endoscope) is inserted to provide a clear view of the underlying structures. Specialised tools are used through the other incisions to gently release and reposition the brow tissues.
Once the brow is lifted into its ideal position, it is secured using small, absorbable supports that naturally dissolve over time. The incisions are then closed with fine stitches or clips. This technique offers reduced scarring, a lower risk of complications, and a quicker recovery compared to more traditional methods.
What Can You Expect After the Procedure?
Following your eyebrow lift, you may experience some mild swelling and bruising for up to two weeks. These effects are temporary and part of the normal healing process. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in the position of the brows and the openness of the eyes, with full results continuing to refine over several weeks.
The effects of an eyebrow lift are long-lasting. While the natural ageing process will continue, your new brow position can remain in place for many years. Maintaining healthy habits such as wearing sunscreen, eating a nutrient-rich diet, staying well-hydrated, and avoiding smoking can help prolong your results.
For those seeking a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, an eyebrow lift can be performed alongside other procedures such as eyelid surgery or a facelift. This allows for a more complete refresh while maintaining harmony between the features.
