Considering a brow lift? Here’s what you should know
A brow lift (also known as a forehead lift) is a surgical procedure performed to reposition the brow. In some cases, it may help reduce the appearance of forehead creases or heaviness in the upper brow area. At Dr. Honeybrook Facial Plastic Surgery in Fortitude Valley, we offer individualised consultations to determine whether this procedure may be suitable based on your goals and clinical needs.
Common Questions About Brow Lift Surgery
What is involved in a brow lift?
This is a surgical procedure where incisions are made, typically behind the hairline, to lift and reposition the brow. There are several techniques, and Dr. Honeybrook will determine the most appropriate approach for your facial structure.
Is it a procedure performed for men?
Yes. While commonly associated with female patients, brow lifts may be considered by male patients seeking to address specific concerns such as heavy brow position or asymmetry. Each procedure is tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy and treatment goals.
How long does it take?
The surgery typically lasts 1 – 2 hours, depending on the technique used. This is usually performed as day surgery under local or general anaesthesia.

What should I expect during recovery?
Swelling, bruising, and tightness are common in the initial post-operative period. Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within 1 – 2 weeks. Full recovery and final results may take several weeks.
Are scars visible?
Incisions are generally placed in areas where they are less noticeable, such as within the hairline. However, scarring varies between individuals and will be discussed during consultation.
What kind of results can I expect?
Individual outcomes vary. The best way to determine the likely results in your case is through a consultation where your facial anatomy, skin quality, and goals can be reviewed. It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that all surgery carries risks.
