While a brow lift cannot entirely halt the aging process, it can significantly enhance the smoothness and youthful appearance of the forehead for several years. Some patients may enjoy results that last a lifetime, while others might opt for complementary treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic to extend the effects. The longevity of your brow lift results is influenced by individual factors, including lifestyle choices and genetic predispositions.

What Is A Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also referred to as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the upper portion of the face.
By lifting the skin and muscles, it aims to diminish deep creases that develop across the brow and nose, as well as eliminate frown lines between the eyebrows. Additionally, a brow lift raises the eyebrows, resulting in a more open and youthful appearance around the eyes. Brow lift surgery can effectively address these concerns, often through minimally invasive techniques.
Brow Lift Procedure
Before your consultation, our patient care coordinator will connect with you to discuss the specifics of your desired procedure, including eligibility, recovery expectations, pricing, and financing options. When you feel ready to move forward, we will arrange your consultation. To enhance your experience, we offer consultations for brow lift in Petoskey as well as Traverse City, with the procedure typically performed in Traverse City at the Copper Ridge Surgery Center.
Recognizing that each individual’s facial structure is unique, our board-certified plastic surgeon at Copper Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery customizes every brow lift to address your specific needs. We provide both traditional and endoscopic techniques, which involve discrete incisions made within the hairline.
Through these incisions, your surgeon will tighten the brow skin and remove any excess tissue contributing to sagging, ensuring optimal healing while establishing a rejuvenated brow line.
Brow lift procedures are often performed in conjunction with other facial surgeries, such as eyelid lifts or facelifts. Together with your surgeon, you will determine the most suitable procedures to achieve your desired aesthetic results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Scars from a brow lift are typically well-concealed within the natural hairline and gradually fade within 3 to 6 months following surgery. Occasionally, temporary hair loss—known as shock hair—may occur around the incision site, but this usually resolves within a year as hair regrowth takes place.
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate which technique will provide optimal results while minimizing scarring for your brow lift.
While a surgical brow lift offers the most significant and enduring elevation of the brow, those seeking non-surgical options may consider BOTOX® Cosmetic as an alternative.
Although BOTOX® cannot achieve the same degree of brow elevation or effectively address upper eyelid hooding as surgery can, it can provide a subtle lifting effect and temporarily reduce the appearance of furrows and lines between the brows and on the forehead. This non-surgical approach, often referred to as a “brow lift with BOTOX® Cosmetic,” may be suitable for certain patients.
It’s important to note that the results of this non-surgical procedure typically last around three to four months, necessitating periodic touch-up treatments to maintain the desired effects.
No, our surgeon takes great care to ensure that the lift is natural-looking, avoiding an excessive elevation that could lead to an artificial or “plastic” appearance.
