A brow lift is a facial surgery used for cosmetic purposes. The main purposes of a brow lifts are to reduce wrinkles and loose skin around the eyes and across the forehead. This procedure is often considered the same as a forehead lift, or is done in conjunction with a forehead lift. Results vary greatly from patient to patient, and expectations should be discussed in depth with one's chosen surgeon. The choice of surgeon is very important because a more experienced surgeon holds a greater chance for exemplary results from the two hour surgery. As with any facial surgery, much swelling is to be expected, but once gone, the results will be visible.
