Before and After Gallery: Brow / Forehead Lift

Patient underwent an awake upper blepharoplasty, eyelid ptosis correction, brow (forehead) lift, and lower blepharoplasty with midface lift. The after photo was taken two months after surgery. All procedures were performed using local anesthesia only—without general anesthesia or IV sedation.

These procedures were designed to refresh and brighten the mid-to-upper facial area in a balanced way.

Eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelids) often causes people to strain to open their eyes, which can lead to forehead lines and wrinkles as people raise their brows to compensate for a weakened eyelid muscle. Ptosis repair strengthens the levator muscle, allowing the eyes to open more fully and easily, while the brow lift smooths forehead lines.

Upper blepharoplasty helped create more open, refreshed, and youthful eyes with defined supratarsal creases.

Lower blepharoplasty, combined with a midface lift performed through the same incision, smoothed the under-eye area and elevated the midface region just below the lower eyelid — improving contour and softening the nasolabial folds.

The results show a natural and harmonious restoration of the forehead, eyes, and midface. All procedures were performed awake under local anesthesia, allowing for enhanced precision, safety, and smoother recovery. This approach also avoids many of the adverse effects associated with general anesthesia and sedation, including grogginess, delayed recovery, brain fog, and cognitive decline.

A sub-brow lift, mini mid-facelift, and lateral canthoplasty procedures were performed on a patient in her late 30s. The sub-brow lift helped lift the eyes by removing the thick, heavy skin and fat just above the eyelids. The mini facelift was non-invasive and targeted the midface. It is often for those with mild to moderate signs of aging. The lateral canthoplasty reshaped the outer corners of the eyes for brighter and larger eyes. The subtle, delicate changes from eyelid lift surgery helped the patient achieve a very natural and youthful appearance.

Asian male in his 40s with heavy upper eyes, eyelid hooding, and under-eye bags underwent a sub-brow lift and lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty). The sub-brow lift involved removing the excess and puffy skin just above the upper eyelid and lifting the underlying muscle. The after photo shows improved eyelid hooding so that his pre-existing double eyelid folds became visible. The lower blepharoplasty surgery involved repositioning the fat in the lower eyelids creating a smoother contour. The procedures transformed tired-looking eyes into a brighter appearance.

Asian female in her 30s with puffy upper eyes and eyelid hooding underwent a sub-brow lift surgery. The procedure is performed by making an incision at the lower portion of the eyebrow, removing excess skin just above the eyelid, and lifting the underlying muscle, all without changing the position of the eyebrows. The after photo shows smooth, less heavy upper eyelids and improved eyelid hooding.

Asian female in her 40s with eyelid hooding received a sub-brow lift surgery. The sub-brow lift targets drooping or sagging upper eyes and involves removing the excess heavy skin below the eyebrow and lifting the underlying muscle. This resulted in tightened upper eyes and improved eyelid hooding so that the double eyelid folds became more visible. The eyebrow position remained unchanged. The surgery transformed tired and sleepy eyes into a brighter and youthful appearance.
