What Is A Brow Lift?
A brow lift can elevate sagging eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles across the forehead, helping you achieve a more refreshed, youthful look. If deep lines and drooping skin are making you appear tired or stressed, this procedure may offer a rejuvenated appearance. At John L. Clayton, MD at 22 Plastic Surgery, Dr. John L. Clayton provides personalized care for each patient. To explore how brow lift surgery can help you enjoy a younger, more refreshed look, contact our aesthetic specialists in Cottonwood Heights, UT to schedule a consultation.
How Do You Perform Brow Lift Surgery?
During your brow lift procedure, Dr. Clayton will carefully elevate the brow area to reduce the appearance of sagging and deep forehead lines. This is achieved by adjusting the skin and underlying tissues, creating a smoother and more youthful look. Depending on the patient's unique needs, different techniques can be used, such as a traditional brow lift or a less invasive endoscopic brow lift. Both approaches aim to open up the eye area and restore balance to the facial features. Recovery after a brow lift typically takes about 1 – 2 weeks with most patients experiencing some temporary swelling or bruising.
What Are the Benefits of A Brow Lift?
A brow lift can significantly enhance your appearance, offering both aesthetic and emotional benefits. This surgery helps restore a youthful, relaxed look, improving your confidence and reducing the appearance of stress or tiredness. Some key benefits include:
- Lifting and tightening sagging skin in the brow and forehead area
- Reducing deep lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows and across the forehead
- Creating a more open and refreshed facial expression
- Potentially enhancing vision by reducing sagging skin above the eyes
Many patients at John L. Clayton, MD at 22 Plastic Surgery combine their brow lift with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to address sagging skin around the eyes for enhanced results. While a brow lift focuses on elevating the forehead and brows, eyelid surgery targets puffiness and excess skin around the eyes. These procedures complement each other, providing a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a brow lift make my eyes look too wide open?
A well-performed brow lift should look natural and balanced, not overly surprised or wide-eyed. The goal is to restore the brow to a more youthful position without altering your natural expressions. Proper technique ensures that the lift complements your face rather than exaggerating it. Our team tailors the approach to your features to avoid an over-elevated result.
Am I too young for a brow lift at 40?
Many patients in their 40s are excellent candidates for a brow lift, especially if they have early drooping or heaviness that nonsurgical treatments no longer correct. Age itself is not the determining factor. Instead, your anatomy and goals matter far more. For some people, a surgical lift provides longer-lasting and more refined improvement than injectables alone. Our team will help you determine whether this is the right time.
Will I still need forehead BOTOX after a brow lift?
A brow lift can reduce the need for forehead BOTOX, but some patients still enjoy using small doses to soften expression lines. The lift addresses heaviness and sagging, while BOTOX targets muscle activity that creates wrinkles. Many patients find they need far less product—or use it more selectively—after surgery. Our team can help you decide what combination provides the most natural result.
