Restore youth and vibrancy to the upper face with a brow lift at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center. While a facelift enhances the appearance of the lower face and neck, it doesn’t focus on the brow, meaning results can be inconsistent.
The brow lift can be easily combined with other face and body procedures. Learn more about these procedures by scheduling a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. If you’re ready to learn more, call Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center at (941) 203-1300.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a procedure to improve the appearance of the forehead. It addresses sagging brows, forehead wrinkling, and changes in brow shape and position due to aging. You may want to consider brow lift surgery if age-related changes in your upper face cause you to look tired or sad. There are several types of brow lift surgery available, allowing your surgeon to customize your procedure to specifically target your aesthetic concerns.
Why Should I Consider a Brow Lift?
Deciding to get plastic surgery can be challenging. You may wonder if you will benefit from a specific procedure or be unsure which approach is right for you. If you’re considering facial plastic surgery in Sarasota, FL, we encourage you to come into our office for a consultation. Learn more about brow lift surgery below to determine if either or both might meet your aesthetic goals.
The brow lift is a popular complement to other facial procedures like facelift surgery, chin or cheek augmentation, eyelid surgery, and facial fat grafting.
Meet Our Doctors
Many doctors perform cosmetic and plastic surgery in Sarasota. However, if you’re pursuing a result that only a handful of doctors in the world can achieve, you will want to enlist the help of Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center’s renowned plastic surgeons. Our top-rated surgeons have a delicate touch, vast experience, and an aesthetic eye. Known throughout Florida for their exceptional and natural results, the SPSC board-certified and board-eligible physicians have the highest possible credentials and training.
What are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?
Many brow lift patients have tried non-surgical treatments such as Botox to lift the brow and smooth forehead lines or frown lines. However, these results are not permanent, and the benefits of Botox can become less effective over time. The surgical brow lift is a more permanent solution.
By lifting the brow, you may also see improvement in the upper eyelids. When the brows sag downward, they can cause the eyelid skin to sag and press on the upper eyelids. A forehead lift procedure can create a more alert, awake, youthful appearance.

Recovery From Your Sarasota Brow Lift Surgery
Recovery after plastic surgery is a process. While you should be able to resume many activities within the first few days after surgery, it may take a few months for all bruising and swelling to resolve. Healing takes time. Be patient with the process as you look forward to your results.
Your surgeon will provide you with detailed information about post-surgical care. Here are some tips to keep in mind during the recovery process.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for 24 hours after surgery. You will not be able to drive yourself home from your procedure or to your day 1 follow-up visit.
- Fill your prescriptions before surgery day and have them easily accessible in a convenient location.
- Get up and start moving as soon as possible. Within a day after surgery, you should be up and walking. We recommend gentle walks every few hours throughout the recovery process.
- You’ll need to take at least one week off from work after surgery. As you return to work and other activities, build up gradually.
- Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting until your surgeon approves it (usually about six weeks after surgery). Avoid saunas and hot tubs for at least two months after surgery, as the intense heat can slow the healing process.
- Do not smoke or consume alcohol in excess for a few weeks before your surgery and during recovery.
- Hydration is essential for a speedy recovery. Drink lots of water as you prepare for surgery and during the recovery process.
