A brow lift is a surgical procedure to lift and reposition your forehead and brow area
If you’re considering a brow lift to achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance, Ross Hall Hospital in Glasgow offers expert cosmetic surgery in a comfortable and supportive private setting.
Part of Circle Health Group, Ross Hall Hospital combines world class surgical expertise with modern facilities and attentive aftercare. Our experienced cosmetic surgeons specialise in facial rejuvenation procedures, including brow lifts, ensuring natural results that complement your individual features. We understand that cosmetic surgery is about more than aesthetics, and we take a holistic approach, supporting you to feel good as well as look good.
Whether you want to soften forehead lines, lift sagging brows, or restore a more open, rested expression, our team provides clear guidance, transparent pricing, and care tailored to you.
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate the position of the eyebrows and smooth the forehead area. Over time, ageing, muscle movement, and gravity can cause the brow to droop, creating a tired, sad, or heavy appearance.
A brow lift helps reverse these changes by tightening the tissues and repositioning the muscles beneath the skin. This reduces forehead creases and lifts the brow to a more youthful, natural position.
There are several types of brow lifts, including endoscopic, temporal (limited incision), and classic (coronal) techniques. Your consultant will carefully assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and desired outcome before recommending the most appropriate option.
The goal is always to create a natural, balanced look, helping you appear refreshed and confident, without changing your unique facial expression and features.
The cost of a brow lift will vary depending on various factors, including the surgeon you choose, which type of brow lift surgery you have, and whether your procedure is combined with other treatments (such as eyelid surgery or a facelift).
Before your surgery, you’ll receive a full written quotation, outlining every aspect of your care with no hidden fees. If you would like a personalised quote, just give us a call.
Private medical insurance generally does not cover cosmetic procedures unless there’s a medical necessity. However, self-pay and finance options are available to help you manage costs with flexible monthly payments.
Our team will be happy to discuss payment plans, answer your questions, and guide you through your options.
A brow lift is usually performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation. The procedure typically takes between one and two hours.
Your surgeon will choose from several techniques depending on your goals, anatomy, and preferences:
During the procedure, the surgeon adjusts the underlying muscles and removes any excess skin before carefully closing the incisions.
After surgery, a light dressing or bandage may be applied, and you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients go home the same day, though some may stay overnight for monitoring.
Mild swelling or bruising is normal in the first few days and typically resolves within one to two weeks. Your consultant will provide follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is smooth and your results are settling well.
A brow lift delivers long lasting results, often of 8 to 10 years or more, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the surgical technique used.
Endoscopic brow lifts, which are less invasive, may have slightly shorter longevity than traditional methods, but they still provide excellent, natural results for many years.
While the procedure cannot stop the natural ageing process, most patients enjoy a smoother forehead and lifted brow contours for nearly a decade. Maintaining healthy habits, using sun protection, and avoiding smoking can help prolong your results.
A brow lift procedure generally takes between one and two hours, depending on the technique and whether it’s performed alongside other facial procedures.
You’ll typically be at the hospital for half a day, including time for pre operative preparation, surgery, and recovery.
After surgery, you’ll spend some time in the recovery suite before being discharged once you’re comfortable and fully alert. Most patients return home the same day, although your consultant may recommend an overnight stay if your procedure is more extensive or combined with other treatments.
You’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions, and your consultant will arrange follow up appointments to check your progress.
