A brow uplift corrects the skin wrinkling and loss of tone that causes sagging of your eyebrows and hooding of your upper eyelids. A brow uplift softens the deep creases across your forehead. It reduces the horizontal frown lines at the top of your nose and the vertical lines between your brows. The result is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. The procedure is often performed along with a facelift or other facial rejuvenation procedures.

One common technique for performing a brow uplift requires an incision across the top of the scalp, beginning above your ears. The incision may be placed toward the middle of the scalp where it is hidden within your hair or at the front of the hairline. Through this incision, your plastic surgeon can modify or remove parts of the muscles that cause wrinkling and frown lines, remove excess skin and lift your eyebrows to a more pleasing position.
