What is an Eyebrow Lift?
An eyebrow lift is a surgical procedure that raises the position of the eyebrows by tightening and repositioning the skin and underlying soft tissue of the forehead. This treatment helps reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, drooping eyebrows, and frown lines, creating a more refreshed and natural appearance.
There are different types of brow lift procedures, including the endoscopic brow lift, temporal brow lift, and coronal brow lift. Your surgeon will discuss which technique is best suited to your facial structure and goals.
A brow lift is often considered when the eyebrows sit low or unevenly, or when excess skin affects the upper eyelids. It’s commonly performed on its own, but can also be combined with upper eyelid surgery or other facial procedures.
At our hospital in St John’s Wood (NW8), we provide private brow lift consultations for patients from across London, including Hampstead (NW3) and Kilburn (NW6).

How to pay for your treatment
If you’re… paying for yourself

For scans and tests, as well as to see most consultants, you’ll still need to be referred by a medical professional like your GP, but as a self-pay patient, the process is more straightforward. You won’t need authorisation from an insurance provider, and you’ll have greater choice of consultant and appointment times.
If you’re… insured
St John & St Elizabeth Hospital is approved by all major medical insurance companies. If you have a personal private health insurance policy, or your company provide it for you, you can use it to pay for your care from your initial consultation through to treatment, surgery and aftercare such as physiotherapy. Not all private health insurance plans cover the same things. It’s very important to check exactly what you are covered for with your insurance provider.

The duration of an eyebrow lift procedure depends on the technique used and the complexity of your individual treatment. In general, most surgical brow lifts take between one to two hours.
Endoscopic brow lifts, which are less invasive, may be quicker and involve smaller incisions, while coronal brow lifts or direct brow lifts may take slightly longer due to the extent of soft tissue repositioning involved.
After the procedure, you’ll spend a short period in recovery before going home the same day, unless advised otherwise by your consultant. Your surgeon will discuss the expected timeframe with you during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect on the day of surgery.
Recovery from an eyebrow lift varies depending on the technique used and your general health, but most patients can expect to return to everyday activities within 10 to 14 days.
During the first few days after surgery, it’s common to experience slight swelling, tightness, or bruising around the forehead and eye area. These symptoms are usually mild and improve with rest, gently applying ice packs, and keeping your head elevated.
You’ll be given clear aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few weeks. Stitches (if not dissolvable) are usually removed within 7 to 10 days.
Most patients begin to see the results of their brow lift as swelling subsides, revealing a more natural, refreshed appearance. Full recovery may take several weeks, but you can usually return to light work and social activities much sooner. Your consultant will guide you through each step of the process and check in with you during follow-up appointments to ensure everything is healing well.
