Brow lift at our newly renovated day-surgery located at 101 Harley Street, Marylebone, London.
For patients considering a brow lift in London, the experience and specialism of the surgical team is the most important factor in achieving a natural, well-proportioned result.

The skill lies in elevating the brow to a position that looks refreshed and rested while still reflecting your natural facial character.
At 101 Harley Street, brow lift surgery is performed by consultant plastic and oculoplastic surgeons with specialist expertise in upper face rejuvenation. Oculoplastic surgeons train specifically in the structures surrounding the eye and forehead, giving them a depth of anatomical knowledge that is particularly relevant to brow procedures. Every patient is seen, assessed, and operated on by a named consultant, and your care is overseen by the same clinical team throughout your journey.
Our Marylebone day-surgery facility sits within London’s most established medical district and is equipped to the standard required for upper face procedures performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic. Patients travel to us from across London and the UK for brow lift surgery, and our 5.0 Google rating reflects the consistency of results and care our patients experience.

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive technique that elevates the brow and smooths forehead lines through a series of small incisions placed discreetly within the hairline, rather than a single longer incision across the top of the head.
A thin camera guides the surgeon beneath the skin, allowing precise repositioning of the underlying muscles and soft tissues responsible for brow descent and forehead lines. Because the incisions are small and internal, scarring is minimal, and many patients experience a shorter recovery compared to a traditional open brow lift.
An endoscopic brow lift is well suited to patients with:
It is particularly effective for patients who want to address brow heaviness and upper face fatigue without the more extensive approach of a full open brow lift. For patients with more significant skin laxity or those requiring a greater degree of lifting, a traditional or temporal brow lift may be more appropriate. Your surgeon will advise on the right technique for your anatomy at consultation.
| Endoscopic brow lift | Traditional brow lift | |
|---|---|---|
Incisions | Several small incisions within the hairline | Longer incision across the top of the scalp |
Scarring | Minimal | More extensive, concealed within the hairline |
Best suited to | Early to moderate brow descent, good skin laxity | More significant laxity requiring greater lifting |
Recovery | Shorter initial recovery | Longer recovery period |
Visibility of camera | Surgeon works with camera guidance | Direct vision throughout |
Anaesthesia | Local with sedation or general anaesthetic | General anaesthetic |

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates the eyebrows and smooths the forehead to restore a more refreshed and youthful upper face. At 101 Harley Street, it can correct a heavy or drooping brow that creates a tired or stern expression, deep horizontal forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and hooding of the upper eyelids caused by brow descent. Techniques include endoscopic, temporal, and full brow lift approaches, with the most appropriate method recommended based on your anatomy and goals at consultation.
An endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions within the hairline and a tiny camera to lift and reposition the brow with minimal scarring and a shorter recovery. A traditional brow lift involves a longer incision across the top of the scalp and is better suited to patients with more significant skin laxity requiring a greater degree of lifting. Both approaches produce long-lasting results. Your surgeon at 101 Harley Street will recommend the most appropriate technique based on your degree of brow descent, skin quality, and goals at consultation.
A well-performed brow lift should not produce an over-lifted or surprised appearance. The goal at 101 Harley Street is always a result that looks refreshed and rested while preserving your natural facial character and expression. This is achieved through precise surgical planning, appropriate technique selection, and conservative lifting that respects your individual anatomy. Your surgeon will discuss the planned approach and expected outcome at consultation so you have a clear picture of what to expect.
Most patients take around one week off work following a brow lift at 101 Harley Street. Some swelling, bruising, and tightness across the forehead and brow area are normal in the first 1 to 2 weeks and settle gradually. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities at 2 to 3 weeks. Initial improvement is visible within 2 to 3 weeks as swelling resolves, with final results apparent at 3 to 6 months as the tissues fully settle. Full recovery is typically reached at 6 to 8 weeks.
Yes. A brow lift is frequently combined with other procedures at 101 Harley Street, most commonly blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), as the brow and upper eyelid work together to frame the eye and both often contribute to a tired or aged upper face appearance. It can also be combined with a facelift or endoscopic facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures means a single anaesthetic and a single recovery period. Your surgeon will discuss whether a combined approach is appropriate for your goals at consultation.
A brow lift smooths forehead lines, lifts sagging eyebrows, and reduces frown lines between the brows, helping the eyes appear more open and awake.
Incisions are placed discreetly within the hairline or natural creases of the forehead, meaning scars are minimal and typically fade beautifully over time.
You’ll notice a fresher appearance within a few weeks as swelling settles, with final refinement at three to six months.
