Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lift surgery can help lift a heavy or low brow and refresh the upper face. A descending brow can contribute to a tired, stern or aged appearance, even when the rest of the face feels balanced. Dr Shan Shan Jing plans treatment carefully to create a natural, open and refreshed look without changing your character.

Each brow lift is carefully tailored to individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. For some patients, the focus is on subtly lifting the outer brow to open the eyes and restore lightness. For others, the procedure smooths the forehead more comprehensively, rebalancing the upper face while preserving natural expression.

Brow lift surgery is performed using small, discreet incisions, hidden within the scalp or natural creases. The choice of technique depends on facial structure and the desired effect, with the aim of achieving a smooth, natural result with minimal scarring and downtime.

During consultation, careful attention is given to facial balance, personal priorities and long-term goals. Together, a bespoke surgical plan is created to refresh the expression while maintaining individuality — ensuring results that feel natural, refined and entirely your own.

Final results

As healing progresses and swelling settles, the upper face takes on a naturally refreshed appearance — smoother, lighter and more open. The eyes appear brighter, with the brow gently elevated, restoring a sense of calmness and vitality to the expression.

A brow lift is not about changing features, but about restoring balance and softness, allowing the face to reflect how one truly feels. The goal is always an effortless, natural result — quietly rejuvenated and authentically you.

  • 1. Who is suitable for a brow lift?

    A brow lift may be suitable for men and women who notice heaviness, sagging, or deep creases across the forehead, or a tired expression around the eyes. It can also help when the outer brow droops, giving a hooded appearance.

  • 2. Will I still look like myself?

    Yes. The goal is to refresh your natural features, not change them. Careful planning ensures your brow position and expressions remain natural and balanced.

  • 3. Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?

    Yes. It is often performed alongside eyelid surgery or facial rejuvenation procedures to achieve a harmonious result.

  • 4. How long is recovery?

    Most swelling and tightness improve within one to two weeks. You can usually return to light activities within this time and resume normal exercise after four to six weeks.

  • 5. Are the scars visible?

    No. Scars are hidden within the hairline or natural creases of the forehead. They fade gradually over several months and are generally inconspicuous.

  • 6. What are the risks?

    Risks are uncommon but may include temporary swelling, bruising, numbness, or asymmetry. In experienced hands, complications are rare, and recovery is smooth with careful aftercare.

  • 7. How long will the results last?

    Results are long-lasting and age gracefully, typically maintaining their improvement for many years. Good skincare and sun protection help preserve your results.
