Brow Lift Surgery in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton
Deep creases and folds on the forehead that result from the natural aging process can make people appear much older than they actually are. Fortunately, these individuals can undergo brow lift surgery to take years off their appearance.
Quick Info
- A brow lift is a procedure to help your eyebrows move into a higher position on your forehead, and to help reduce the appearance of horizontal lines in your brow.
- As we age, our brow tends to descend, creating a tired or angry look. A brow lift moves the brow back up to a more youthful position.
- A brow lift surgery takes about 1-2 hours to perform at our AAAHC accredited surgery center. The recovery is only about one week long.
- People usually combine a brow lift with an eyelid surgery to help their upper or lower eyelids. This completes the rejuvenation of the upper face.

Restore a Youthful, Refreshed Look with a Forehead Lift
Aging, stress, and genetics can cause noticeable changes in the upper face, leading to deep forehead creases, drooping brows, and heavy upper eyelids. These changes can create a tired, aged, or even stern appearance, affecting your overall facial expression. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to address these concerns by smoothing wrinkles, repositioning sagging brows, and rejuvenating your entire facial aesthetic.
At Beautologie, our board-certified plastic surgeons in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton specialize in advanced brow lift techniques to deliver natural, refreshed, and youthful results tailored to your unique features.

How a Brow Lift Works
A brow lift is a sophisticated yet minimally invasive procedure that enhances the forehead and brow area. Depending on your needs and facial anatomy, our skilled surgeons may use one of the following techniques:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift – Using tiny incisions hidden along the hairline, a small camera is inserted to guide precise lifting and repositioning of tissues for a natural result with minimal scarring.
- Temporal or Limited Incision Brow Lift – Focuses on lifting the outer part of the eyebrows to create a softer, more youthful arch.
- Coronal Brow Lift – A more traditional approach used for significant sagging, where an incision is placed across the top of the head, hidden within the scalp.
- Direct Brow Lift – Best suited for patients who need targeted lifting above the eyebrows, often used for men with receding hairlines.
Regardless of the technique used, a brow lift generally involves:
- Small Incisions: Strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
- Skin & Muscle Adjustment: Excess skin is removed, and underlying tissues are repositioned to smooth out deep wrinkles and elevate the brows.
- Precision Suturing: Advanced techniques ensure long-lasting, natural results.
- Quick Procedure: The surgery typically takes one to two hours under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the method used.
For optimal results, many patients choose to combine a brow lift with complementary procedures such as:
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to remove excess eyelid skin and improve vision
- Facelift for full-face rejuvenation
- Fat transfer to restore lost volume in the forehead and temples
- Dermal fillers or Botox to enhance results and maintain a youthful look
Recovery & Results
A brow lift is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can return home the same day. While some swelling and bruising are normal, most patients experience a smooth recovery with minimal discomfort. Here’s what to expect:
- Mild Swelling & Bruising: Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can help reduce swelling within the first few days.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to work within 5 to 7 days.
- Long-Lasting Results: Full results become visible within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time.
- Follow-Up Care: We schedule a post-op appointment to remove sutures and ensure optimal healing.
Our surgeons provide personalized aftercare guidance to ensure a comfortable recovery and the best possible results.

FAQ
Good candidates for a brow lift include individuals who have sagging eyebrows or forehead wrinkles, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure.
The recovery time for a brow lift can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual patient. Generally, patients can expect to take at least a week off work and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks following the procedure.
Like any surgical procedure, a brow lift will leave some scars. However, a skilled plastic surgeon can place incisions in areas that can be concealed by natural skin creases or hairlines, and the scars can fade over time.
In most cases, a brow lift is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.
Like any surgical procedure, a brow lift carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications, nerve injury, and poor wound healing. Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon and following all pre- and post-operative instructions can help minimize these risks.
The results of a brow lift can be long-lasting if the patient maintains a stable weight and takes care of their skin. However, natural aging and other factors such as sun exposure can affect the results over time.
