Brow lifts are done to improve the position of your eyebrows (usually elevating them to a higher position) and rejuvenate your upper eye area. Sometimes they are also done to stabilise your eyebrow position if it would be affected by other nearby surgery or to rejuvenate your forehead area as well. Brow lifts are also a way of treating nerve injuries to the frontal branch of your facial nerve.
There are many different types and extents of brow lift as the type of effect needed can vary from person to person. Some of the most common types are:

A brow lift can help restore a fresher, more alert appearance by lifting heavy or drooping brows and softening deep forehead lines. Many patients feel that their brow position makes them look tired, angry or older than they feel, even when they are well rested.
At Purity Bridge in Tunbridge Wells, brow lift surgery is tailored to the individual. Consultant Plastic Surgeons Marc Pacifico and Nora Nugent carefully assess facial proportions and skin quality to achieve a natural-looking result. The aim is not to dramatically change your appearance, but to create a more refreshed and balanced look while maintaining your natural facial expressions.
Most patients are able to return to light daily activities within a few days of surgery, although some swelling and bruising should be expected. Many people feel comfortable returning to desk-based work after around one to two weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and their recovery.
Your surgeon will provide personalised advice based on your treatment plan. More strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for six weeks to allow healing to progress properly.
Brow lift surgery is considered a highly effective procedure when performed by an experienced Consultant Plastic Surgeon. The vast majority of patients are pleased with their results and report improvements in both their appearance and confidence.
At Purity Bridge, success is measured not only by the surgical outcome but by how natural the result looks and whether it meets the patient’s goals. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations and what can be achieved in your individual case.
You may be a suitable candidate if your brows have descended with age or if you feel your forehead and brow area make you appear tired, cross or older than you would like. Some patients also find that low brows contribute to excess skin around the upper eyelids.
A consultation with Nora Nugent or Marc Pacifico will help determine whether a brow lift is the most appropriate treatment or whether another procedure may better address your concerns.
One of the most common concerns patients have is looking overdone after surgery. A well-performed brow lift should create a refreshed appearance without making you look surprised or altering your natural expressions.
At Purity Bridge, treatment plans are designed around facial harmony and natural-looking results. The goal is subtle rejuvenation rather than a dramatic change.
The location of scars depends on the technique used. In most cases, incisions are placed discreetly within the hairline where they are well hidden once healed. In some patients, they may be tucked closely along the eyebrow itself.
Your surgeon will explain the planned incision locations during your consultation and discuss the steps taken to minimise visible scarring.
Yes. A brow lift is often combined with upper eyelid surgery when both the brow position and excess eyelid skin contribute to a tired appearance. These are commonly combined procedures as they complement each other very well.
Combining procedures can provide a more balanced facial rejuvenation result and may reduce the overall recovery period compared with having separate operations.
While no procedure can stop the natural ageing process, the results of a brow lift are generally long lasting. Most patients enjoy the benefits for many years.
Factors such as genetics, lifestyle, smoking and sun exposure can influence longevity. Maintaining good skin health and sun protection can help preserve your results over time.
