Forehead Lift (Browlift) in Calgary

Dr. Kristina Zakhary MD, MSc, FRCSc

Dr. Kristina Zakhary expertly rejuvenates aging brows, lifting and smoothing the forehead to restore balance, brighten the eyes, and create a refreshed, confident, naturally youthful appearance.

Upper Facial Rejuvenation

Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)

If your brows appear low, heavy, or contribute to a tired expression, a forehead lift may be the solution.

With age, the eyebrows gradually descend. This can:

  • Worsen hooded upper eyelids
  • Deepen horizontal forehead lines
  • Create a stern or fatigued appearance
  • Exaggerate heaviness in the upper face

A brow lift restores balance to the upper third of the face by elevating the brows to a more natural, youthful position while smoothing the forehead and adjusting the underlying muscular tension.

For many patients, brow position is directly connected to eyelid concerns. When appropriate, a forehead lift can be combined with blepharoplasty or facelift surgery to achieve comprehensive, harmonious rejuvenation rather than treating one area in isolation.

What a Forehead Lift Can Achieve

  • Elevates sagging brows
  • Reduces forehead wrinkles
  • Softens frown lines
  • Opens the eye area
  • Restores a refreshed, confident appearance

A brow lift does not change who you are. It restores structural support that time has gradually reduced.

If you are considering upper facial rejuvenation, a private consultation will determine whether a forehead lift alone — or in combination with other procedures — is the most effective strategy for your anatomy and goals.

More Detailed Information

More detailed information

The Forehead lift incision is placed along the front of your hairline where it will be well hidden as it heals. The brow lift surgery involves lifting the forehead skin, tightening the muscles or weakening other muscles to reduce deep wrinkles in your forehead or in between your eyebrows.

The eyebrows are raised to the desired position. Dr. Zakhary will then close the incision very carefully with absorbable stitches that usually dissolve naturally within 2 weeks. The incision typically heals very well and remains discreetly hidden in your hairline.

The recovery time from Brow lift surgery is approximately 2 to 3 weeks.

Scalp numbness, slight hairline hair loss along the incision, or itching of the forehead may be experienced after surgery. These usually resolve completely within a few weeks to months.

Forehead lift or Brow lift surgery is a beneficial cosmetic procedure that can be performed together with other cosmetic facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), to enhance your overall youthful appearance.
