The short answer
Individual surgical assessment of brow position in relation to forehead height, hairline and the upper eyelid.
Medical suitability, technique and recovery are individual. No result can be guaranteed.ENT Surgeon
Procedure Overview
The treatment plan starts with anatomy, function and realistic expectations—not a standard package.
A brow lift repositions a low brow and is not the same as removing excess upper-eyelid skin. Brow shape, forehead height, hairline, skin quality and previous procedures are assessed together. Endoscopic, temporal and open approaches differ in incision placement, vector and hairline effect. Visible scarring, sensory change, asymmetry or hair loss around an incision cannot be ruled out.
What the assessment considers
Each point is reviewed against your anatomy, medical history and intended change.

How the clinical process is organised
A clear sequence from remote pre-assessment to examination, surgery and follow-up.
Analysis
Determination of brow position.
Surgery
Endoscopic, temporal or open approach selected for anatomy.
Healing
Follow-up of wounds, sensation, symmetry and hairline.
Risks & Candidacy
Possible risks
Swelling, bruising and temporary or persistent sensory change can occur. Possible risks include asymmetry, visible scarring, hairline change, hair loss around an incision, nerve injury affecting brow movement and revision.
Who may not be a candidate
Brow position, forehead height, hairline, upper-lid skin and previous procedures are assessed together. Endoscopic, temporal and open approaches do not give the same result for everyone; technique is selected for anatomy and goals.
Recovery and travel planning
Timelines vary by procedure, technique and individual healing. Your travel dates should follow the surgeon’s review plan.
Swelling, bruising, tightness and altered scalp sensation can occur. Wound review, return to work and travel depend on the approach, combined procedures and individual healing.

Questions worth asking
Medical suitability, technique and recovery are individual. No result can be guaranteed.
Will my expression change?
Changing brow position can alter expression. The target is discussed with measurements and photographs; asymmetry or an unexpectedly high position cannot be completely excluded.
Is the result permanent?
Surgery does not stop ageing. Brow position and the visible result can change with technique, tissue characteristics, healing and time.
Can it be combined with another procedure?
Eyelid surgery or canthopexy is considered only for a separate finding and goal; combined surgery adds its own risks and recovery burden.
