What is a
brow lift?

A brow lift (forehead lift) elevates the eyebrows to a higher, more youthful position and smooths deep forehead lines. Descending brows can make you appear tired, stern, or older than you feel.

Dr. Chung performs both endoscopic (minimally invasive, small incisions) and direct brow lift techniques, selecting the approach based on your degree of descent and desired result.

The procedure can be performed alone or combined with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) for complete upper facial rejuvenation.

How does the
process work?

A targeted procedure to elevate and reshape the brow position — restoring an open, refreshed, naturally youthful appearance.

01
Consultation & Brow Analysis
Dr. Chung evaluates the brow position, asymmetry between sides, relationship to the upper eyelid and forehead skin to determine the precise amount of lifting needed.
02
Technique Selection
Depending on the degree of descent and your anatomy, a temporal brow lift, endoscopic lift or direct approach is selected — each with different scar placement and lift extent.
03
Brow Lift Procedure
Through small incisions hidden in the hairline or scalp, the brow tissue is elevated and repositioned to the ideal height and arch for your facial anatomy.
04
Recovery & Results
Most swelling resolves in 2 weeks; final brow position and result are visible at 4–6 weeks.

What can be
improved?

Brow descent

Corrects the downward migration of the brow that occurs with aging, creating a heavy, tired appearance.

Brow shape & arch

Restores the ideal brow arch shape for your gender and facial structure — peaked, curved or straight.

Asymmetry correction

Corrects differences in brow height between left and right sides for a more balanced, symmetrical appearance.

Upper eyelid space

Brow elevation creates more visible upper eyelid space, reducing hooding without always needing blepharoplasty.

Lateral brow

Temporal brow lift specifically targets the outer third of the brow — the area that typically descends first with aging.

Combined with eyelid surgery

Frequently performed with upper blepharoplasty for complete upper-face rejuvenation in a single session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about
Brow Lift

No. A properly performed brow lift produces a natural, refreshed result. Dr. Chung is conservative in elevation to avoid an unnatural "surprised" appearance.

Botox relaxes muscles to soften wrinkles but does not lift descended brows structurally. A brow lift physically repositions the brow for a lasting result that Botox cannot achieve.

Results typically last 5–10 years. Natural aging continues, but the brows do not return to their pre-surgery position within that timeframe.

Yes, and this combination is very common. Both procedures address the upper face and complement each other for superior overall rejuvenation.

Most swelling and bruising resolve within 10–14 days. Mild tightness or numbness in the forehead is temporary and resolves over weeks.
