Brow Lift / Brow Reset
Elevating the
Upper Face With
Subtle Confidence
A brow lift, sometimes referred to as a brow reset, is a surgical procedure that repositions the forehead and eyebrow complex to restore balance and openness to the upper face. Over time, brow descent can contribute to a heavy, tired, or stern appearance—even when patients are not consciously aware that the brow is the source of concern.
A brow lift gently elevates and rebalances the brows to create a refreshed, natural expression while preserving facial harmony.
A brow lift is a procedure that repositions the underlying tissues of the forehead and eyebrows to improve brow heaviness, asymmetry, and descent. By lifting and stabilizing these structures—often through endoscopic or limited-incision techniques – the procedure restores a more open, relaxed upper facial appearance.
Brow lift surgery is frequently performed on its own or in combination with eyelid surgery when brow descent contributes to upper eyelid hooding.
During your consultation, Dr. Kapadia will carefully evaluate your brow position in relation to your eyelids, forehead anatomy, and overall facial structure.
The consultation includes assessment of muscle strain, lateral brow descent, and whether volume changes contribute to brow position. Dr. Kapadia will determine
which surgical approach is best suited to your anatomy and goals, and discuss how a brow lift may complement – or in some cases reduce the need for – upper eyelid surgery.
A personalized plan is created with an emphasis on balance and natural expression.
You may be a good candidate for a brow lift or brow reset if you:
- Have a low or heavy brow position
- Feel your expression looks tired, stern, or angry
- Notice eyelid hooding related to brow descent
- Have brow asymmetry
- Experience forehead strain from lifting the brows
- Are in good overall health
- Desire subtle, natural-looking improvement
Many patients do not initially seek a brow lift but discover it is
the primary driver of their upper face concerns.
A brow lift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure.
Several surgical techniques may be used, including:
Endoscopic brow lift, using small incisions hidden behind the hairline
Temporal brow lift, focusing on the outer portion of the brow
Direct lateral brow lift, reserved for select cases
Mid-forehead lift, used selectively in patients with deep, well-established forehead creases
The specific approach is chosen based on anatomy, hairline position, and aesthetic goals.
Recovery from a brow lift is generally well tolerated. Patients commonly experience temporary tightness, swelling, or bruising in the forehead and brow area that improves gradually as healing progresses.
Most patients return to light daily activities relatively quickly, with a gradual return to normal routines as comfort allows. Incisions are placed thoughtfully to minimize visibility, and brow position continues to refine as swelling resolves and tissues settle.
The cost of a brow lift varies depending on the surgical technique used and whether it is combined with other facial procedures.
Brow lift surgery is typically considered cosmetic. Pricing and financing options are reviewed during consultation.
Before and After
Results are subtle and natural, with improved smoothness and facial balance. Ongoing treatments can help maintain results over time.
Before-and-after photos may be reviewed during your consultation to help set realistic expectations.
A successful brow lift depends on restraint, precision, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. Dr. Kapadia focuses on restoring the brows to a youthful, relaxed position while preserving individuality and expression.
Her approach emphasizes brow shape and balance rather than excessive elevation, resulting in subtle, confident rejuvenation.
