Brow Lift / Eyebrow Lift Aesthetics

Eyebrow lift aesthetics (Brow Lift) is a procedure that repositions brows that have fallen due to gravity, mimic use, or aging over time, giving the eye area a more open, dynamic, and youthful expression.

As the eyebrows droop, wrinkles in the forehead area become more prominent, the gaze becomes tired, and the facial expression can look sadder than it is. Thanks to the brow lift operation, both the forehead area is tightened and the eye contour is rejuvenated; a more balanced and dynamic appearance is achieved across the face.

At ClinicHaus, this procedure is planned not only for aesthetic appearance but also to ensure mimic harmony by preserving the natural facial expression. The most suitable method is determined for each patient by analyzing the brow position, forehead structure, and skin elasticity.

Rebalance the Upper Triangle of the Face for a Natural, Open, and Dynamic Gaze

A Brow Lift is a procedure that rejuvenates the forehead–brow–eye area by moving the brows, which have descended due to gravity, mimics, and aging, to the face’s anatomical ideal.

As brow drooping increases, forehead lines become prominent, the eye area narrows, and the gaze appears tired/sad.

With a brow lift, the tail of the brow and/or the entire brow arch is raised with a natural curve; forehead lines soften, and the gaze becomes livelier with an almond-eye effect.

At ClinicHaus, the goal is not just to “pull up.” Natural balance is achieved without disrupting mimic harmony by conducting a multi-dimensional analysis of brow thickness, brow arch, eyelid opening, forehead width, and the hair/hairline relationship.

Who is it Suitable For? (Indications)

• Ptosis (drooping) in the tail of the brow or the entire brow

• Prominent forehead wrinkles, constant need to raise the brows

• Eyelid skin folding over the lid due to brow drooping

• Tired expression around the eyes, transition to a downward-pointing form in the upper face triangle

• Asymmetrical brow level / sagging at the tail of the brow

The procedure may be postponed during active infection, uncontrolled systemic diseases, and pregnancy. Suitability is clarified with a physician’s evaluation.

Personalized Planning (ClinicHaus Protocol)

1. Aesthetic ratio analysis: Brow arch (medial–mid–lateral), orbital frame, hairline distance, forehead height

2. Mimic and muscle balance: Effect of frontalis, glabella complex (procerus, corrugator), temporalis

3. Tissue quality: Skin thickness, elasticity, previous procedures (botox/filler/surgeries)

4. Photo/Video planning: Target for ideal brow arch–eye opening at rest and with mimics

5. Method selection: Permanence goal, scar location, recovery expectation, hairline, and hair density are considered

Technique Options: Surgical and Non-Surgical Methods

A. Surgical Brow Lift Options

1) Endoscopic Brow Lift (Gold Standard, Scars Inside the Hair)

• How? 3–5 small incisions in the scalp; the forehead–brow complex is released with the help of an endoscope, retaining ligament structures are controllably released; the brow is fixed in its new position with deep tissue fixations (anchor/Endotine/suture).

• Pros: Minimal scarring, natural curve, wide area release, long-lasting result.

• For whom? Patients with significant brow drooping, deepened forehead lines; suitable hairline.

2) Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift / Mini Lift

• How? Short incision within the hair; selective lifting of the brow tail.

• Pros: Laterally-focused rejuvenation, short recovery.

• For whom? Those where drooping of the brow tail is particularly dominant.

3) Trichophytic (Hairline) Brow Lift

• How? A very fine incision along the hairline; the brow/forehead complex is raised by partially removing forehead skin.

• Pros: Advantage of shortening the forehead + lifting in those with a high forehead.

• Note: The scar is hidden at the hairline; candidate selection is critical.

4) Direct Brow Lift (Above the Brow) – Selected Cases

• How? Thin tissue removal from just above the brow.

• For whom? Specific asymmetry, previous surgeries, or in male patients where scar camouflage is good under a thick brow line.

• Note: Scar management and candidate selection are done very meticulously.

Surgical general parameters:

• Anesthesia: Generally general or sedation + local

• Duration: 60–90 min (may increase with combinations)

• Permanence: Many years

• Scar: Inside the hair/at the hairline/above the brow (selected patient-specifically)

B. Non-Surgical Brow Lift (Thread Lift + Support Protocols)

Thread Lift (PDO / PLLA / P(LA/CL))

• How? Dissolvable threads with cones/barbs placed under the skin with local anesthesia controllably lift the brow tail and lateral line.

• Duration: ~30–40 min

• Effect: Instant; may last 1.5–2 years with collagen stimulation.

• Pros: Scarless, quick return to social life.

Botulinum Toxin (Brow Tox) – Supportive

• Supports brow elevation by balanced weakening of the brow depressors (corrugator/procerus/lateral fibers of orbicularis).

• Permanence: 4–6 months; used complementarily with thread/surgery.

ClinicHaus creates a personalized combo plan with the parameters of age–skin thickness–tissue resistance–permanence goal.

Operation Flow and Anesthesia

• Surgical brow lift: Sedation + local or general anesthesia; in the endoscopic technique, a few small incisions in the hair; permanent elevation with deep tissue fixation.

• Non-surgical thread lift: Local anesthesia; placement with micro-entries; immediate discharge.

Recovery Timeline (Realistic Timeline)

After Non-Surgical (Thread Lift)

• 0–48 hours: Mild edema/tightness is normal; cold compress, no lying face down.

• 3–7 days: Edema significantly reduces; makeup after 24–48 hours.

• 2–3 weeks: Tissue adaptation is complete, appearance becomes natural.

After Surgical Brow Lift

• 0–3 days: Edema/bruising minimal–moderate; cold compress, keeping the head high.

• 5–7 days: Suture/clip check (according to technique and physician).

• 10–14 days: Return to social life.

• 3–6 weeks: Swellings resolve; mimics become natural.

• 3rd month+: Final lines settle; scar maturation continues (sun protection recommended).

General care: No heavy exercise for the first 1–2 weeks; avoidance of sauna/steam/pool; temporary avoidance of facial massage and intense mimics.

Permanence and Naturalness

• Surgical methods: Long years permanent, controlled, and natural curve.

• Thread lift: 1.5–2 years; effect is optimized with regular Brow Tox.

• At ClinicHaus, the goal is not a “pulled” look, but a vibrant expression that preserves the facial character.

Possible Risks and Clinical Precautions

• Edema, bruising, asymmetry, temporary sensation change, differences in scar quality may rarely be seen.

• ClinicHaus safety protocol:

  • Atraumatic dissection and bleeding control

  • Nerve preservation and balanced fixation

  • Personalized scar management (silicone gel/tape, energy-based supports if necessary)

  • Regular follow-up and targeted mini-corrections when necessary

Combined Procedures (Upper Face Rejuvenation Package)

• Upper/lower blepharoplasty (eyelid): In those with accompanying lid excess

• Fox Eye (lateral canthus–brow tail optimization)

• Botulinum toxin + filler: Glabella/temple/under-brow arch contour

• Skin quality protocols: Tissue thickness and radiance with Laser/RF/microneedling

Combinations are planned personally, balancing safety–duration–recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lift

Is it painful? Comfort is high in the non-surgical method; pain is not felt under sedation/general in surgery, prescription painkillers are sufficient afterward. Will there be scars? In endoscopic/temporal lift, scars are inside the hair; in trichophytic lift, a fine line at the hairline; in thread lift, there are no scars. Does it look natural? Yes. ClinicHaus plans the brow curve at a level that does not disrupt mimic harmony. How long does it last? Surgical: long years; thread lift: ~1.5–2 years (shows personal variability). When can I return to work? Thread lift: most people the next day; surgical: within 7–10 days.
