What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a facial rejuvenation procedure that elevates drooping eyebrows, smooths horizontal forehead wrinkles, and reduces the deep frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows. The goal is to restore a more youthful, refreshed, and open appearance to the upper third of the face.
As we age, the brow descends gradually due to gravity, loss of skin elasticity, and weakening of the forehead muscles. A dropped brow can make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel — even when well-rested. Heavy brows also push down on the upper eyelids, creating a hooded appearance that may obstruct peripheral vision in severe cases.
While Botox can temporarily lift the brow by relaxing the muscles that pull it downward, the effect lasts only 3 to 4 months and provides modest elevation (1 to 2 mm). A surgical brow lift delivers a more significant, permanent elevation (3 to 8 mm) and addresses forehead wrinkles and frown lines at the same time.
At MedProper Istanbul, brow lift surgery is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive facial surgery experience. The most popular technique — the endoscopic brow lift — involves minimal incisions hidden within the hairline, faster recovery, and natural-looking results.

Brow Lift Techniques
Endoscopic Brow Lift
The most commonly performed technique at MedProper. The surgeon makes 3 to 5 small incisions (each about 1 cm) behind the hairline. An endoscope (tiny camera) is inserted to visualise the forehead tissues on a monitor. The surgeon releases the brow from the underlying bone, repositions it at a higher level, and secures it with small absorbable devices.
Advantages: Minimal scarring (hidden in the hairline), shorter recovery, less numbness, natural result. Duration: 1 to 1.5 hours. Best for: Most patients. The standard approach for moderate brow descent without excessive forehead skin.
Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift
Focuses on lifting only the outer (lateral) portion of the brow — the area that droops most noticeably with age. Two small incisions are hidden in the temple hairline. This technique specifically opens the eye area and creates a subtle, youthful arch without affecting the central brow.
Advantages: Shortest recovery of all brow lift techniques, minimal scarring. Duration: 45 minutes to 1 hour. Best for: Patients with lateral brow hooding who do not need central forehead correction. Also popular as a complement to upper blepharoplasty.
Coronal Brow Lift
A continuous incision from ear to ear across the top of the scalp, hidden within the hairline. The forehead skin is lifted as a single flap, excess skin is removed, and the brow is repositioned. This was the traditional technique and provides the most dramatic lift.
Advantages: Maximum lift, addresses the entire forehead. Disadvantages: Longer scar, higher risk of permanent scalp numbness, longer recovery. Best for: Patients with very heavy brow descent and deep forehead wrinkles. Rarely performed today due to the effectiveness of endoscopic alternatives.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
A brow lift may be right for you if:
- Your eyebrows sit at or below the brow bone, creating a heavy or tired appearance
- You have deep horizontal forehead lines that persist even when not raising your eyebrows
- You have prominent frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows
- Upper eyelid hooding is partly caused by a low brow position (not just excess eyelid skin)
- You are over 35 — though younger patients with genetically low brows may benefit
- Botox is no longer sufficient to achieve the brow position you want
Brow Lift vs Blepharoplasty: Which Do You Need?
Many patients confuse brow descent with upper eyelid excess. The distinction is important:
- If your brow sits low and pushes skin onto the upper eyelid, a brow lift is the primary solution.
- If your brow position is normal but you have excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis), upper blepharoplasty is the answer.
- If both are present, a combined brow lift + blepharoplasty delivers the best result.
Your MedProper surgeon will assess both during the free consultation.
Recovery Timeline
| Period | What Happens | Recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-3 | Forehead swelling and tightness. Possible bruising around the eyes. Mild headache. | Head elevated at all times. Ice packs. Prescribed pain medication. |
| Days 4-7 | Swelling moves downward (may cause puffy eyelids temporarily). Bruising begins to fade. | Light walking. Avoid bending or straining. Keep head elevated when sleeping. |
| Weeks 2-3 | Most swelling and bruising resolved. You can fly home and return to work. | Normal light activities. No strenuous exercise. Avoid direct sun on the forehead. |
| Weeks 4-6 | Forehead feeling returns to normal. Incision sites healing. | Moderate exercise permitted. Scar massage if recommended. |
| Months 2-3 | Final brow position established. Forehead wrinkles improved. | Full exercise resume. |
| Months 6-12 | Scars fully matured and hidden within the hairline. Result is long-lasting. | No restrictions. |
When can you fly home? Most patients fly home 5 to 7 days after an endoscopic brow lift. Temporal brow lift patients may fly as early as day 4.
Frequently Asked Questions (9)
How much does a brow lift cost in Turkey?
At MedProper Istanbul, an endoscopic brow lift starts from £1,501 / $1,894 / €1,752 all-inclusive in 2026. A temporal brow lift starts from £1,159 / $1,462. Combined brow lift + blepharoplasty starts from £2,478 / $3,126. All prices include the surgeon fee, hotel, transfers, and follow-up.
How much does a brow lift cost for US patients?
In the USA, a brow lift ranges from $5,000 to $8,000. At MedProper, the same procedure costs from $1,894 all-inclusive — roughly one-third to one-half the US price after adding flights.
Is a brow lift permanent?
A brow lift is long-lasting but not entirely permanent. The brow will continue to descend slowly with natural ageing, but from a higher starting position. Most patients enjoy their results for 10 to 15 years or longer.
What is an endoscopic brow lift?
An endoscopic brow lift uses a tiny camera and 3 to 5 small incisions hidden behind the hairline instead of one large incision. It offers the same lifting result with less scarring, less numbness, and faster recovery than traditional techniques.
What is a temporal brow lift?
A temporal (lateral) brow lift lifts only the outer portion of the eyebrow — the part that droops most with age. It uses small incisions in the temple hairline and has the shortest recovery of any brow lift technique.
Will a brow lift affect my hairline?
An endoscopic brow lift does not change the hairline position. A coronal brow lift may raise the hairline slightly, which can be beneficial for patients with a low hairline but unfavourable for those with a high or receding hairline. Your surgeon will discuss this during the consultation.
Can I combine a brow lift with other procedures?
Yes. Common combinations include brow lift + upper blepharoplasty (the most popular), brow lift + facelift, and brow lift + rhinoplasty. Combining procedures means one anaesthetic and one recovery period.
Is a brow lift painful?
Most patients describe post-operative discomfort as mild: tightness across the forehead, mild headache, and temporary numbness. Standard pain medication manages this effectively, and most patients stop needing painkillers within 3 to 5 days.
