A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate a sagging brow, smooth horizontal forehead wrinkles, and soften frown lines between the eyebrows. By adjusting the muscles and repositioning the skin above the eyes, it restores a naturally youthful arch to the brows and opens the eye area.
Beyond its cosmetic effects, a brow lift can help you feel more confident and energized as you start each day. By correcting a heavy or hooded brow, patients often report looking, and feeling, more alert, approachable, and self-assured in both professional and personal settings.
Many individuals can find they appear tired, angry or sad due to the way their brow sits. Some of this can be through the aging process, where lines begin to form on the forehead and skin droops toward the eyes. There are instances when these lines are created on the forehead from continually pulling up the brow to prevent drooping skin from blocking a person’s vision.
With a brow lift Miami patients can experience the following benefits:
There are three primary forehead lift techniques that can be customized to each patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
Ideal for patients with significant forehead lines or very heavy brows, this technique uses a single long incision hidden just behind the hairline from ear to ear. It allows maximal access to lift tissue and smooth deep creases, with precise sculpting of the underlying muscles.
Minimally invasive and best for moderate brow sagging, this approach uses 3–5 small incisions behind the hairline and an endoscope (tiny camera) to gently lift the brow. Recovery is faster and scarring is minimal compared to the traditional method.
Focused on the outer third of the brow, this technique uses small incisions hidden in the temples to elevate only the lateral brow. It’s an excellent option for lifting drooping outer brows without a full forehead lift, and often combined with eyelid surgery.
Ideal candidates are in good overall health, maintain realistic expectations, have a positive attitude about surgery and recovery and have the following conditions:

It is vital to have a consultation with Dr. Zuriarrain in his Miami, FL clinic so he can determine which kind of brow lift procedure is best suited for your individual needs..
During a consultation for a brow lift Miami plastic surgeon, Dr. Z, will go over the various forehead lift techniques and depending on each patient, will recommend which kind of procedure best fits their needs and is best suited to achieve their goals.
He will perform an examination to check your current eyebrow position, the amount of excess skin above the upper eyelid and the level of the hairline. Unless the symptoms are severe, then an endoscopic brow lift procedure may suffice. The doctor will explain all the options and the results that can be gained, allowing you to choose the best brow lift option for your vision.
After the examination, Dr. Z will review your complete medical history and assess lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, alcohol intake, and recreational drug use, as well as any current medications. If any of these could impact safety or healing, your procedure may be postponed until you have met the required abstinence period.
A forehead lift is performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia and typically takes 1–2 hours. Incisions are discreetly hidden within the hairline or made through small, targeted scalp openings. After elevating and securing the underlying tissues, Dr. Zuriarrain closes each incision carefully to minimize visible scarring and ensure lasting, natural-looking results.
Patients can return home on the same day and depending on which of the two procedures have been performed the amount of swelling will vary. Dr. Zuriarrain will advise Miami Brow Lift patients to walk around, minimizing the chances of blood clots, and to help promote healing.
If surgical staples were used to close the incisions, these will be removed after around one week with any stitches. In the majority of cases, a patient is able to return to regular activities after four to six days when most of the swelling and bruising will fade. Strenuous activities should be refrained from for up to six weeks, and scar lines should fade after a few months.
If you find your brow drooping makes you look tired, sad, or overly serious, even when you feel great, a forehead lift can refresh your expression and smooth those stubborn forehead lines.
Most of our Miami forehead lift patients report only mild soreness, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. If needed, Dr. Z will prescribe stronger medication. Any numbness or itching you feel typically resolves within a few weeks.
Incisions are strategically placed in your hairline or natural skin folds, so scars fade beautifully over time and remain virtually undetectable.
Costs vary based on technique and any combined procedures. Because brow lifts are elective, most fees are out-of-pocket but we offer flexible financing plans to make your transformation achievable.
