What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is one of the essential cosmetic procedures and has been for many years. However, advancements in methods and technology now allow us to deliver better results with a natural look. A brow lift with Dr. Sykes enables you to target signs of aging around the brow and forehead area, such as wrinkles or excess skin. By tightening the skin in this area, you can see wrinkles vanish, replaced with a relaxed yet alert look that takes years off your appearance. Because the brow and forehead work together to frame the eyes, even small changes in position can meaningfully affect how rested and youthful your whole face appears. Dr. Sykes offers his patients two main options for their brow lift:
Endoscopic Brow Lift: Ideal for patients with low-to-medium hairlines. This technique uses small, well-hidden incisions and a camera-guided approach that typically means less visible scarring and a quicker return to your normal routine.
Temporal Brow Lift: Ideal for patients who don’t want their hairline pulled back. This approach lifts and smooths the outer brow and temple area while keeping your hairline in its natural position.

What Happens During Brow Lift Surgery?
Your unique brow lift will depend on factors such as the method used and your goals. We start by ensuring you will be comfortable throughout your procedure while under anesthesia. In some cases, you may receive lighter sedation if needed. Dr. Sykes and his surgical team monitor you closely throughout the procedure to prioritize both your comfort and your safety from start to finish.
The entire procedure usually lasts between one to two hours, but it can take longer if you choose to have combined surgeries. Dr. Sykes makes targeted incisions and removes or tightens skin until your brow area is in the final position. Many patients choose to pair their brow lift with eyelid surgery or a facelift during the same operation, which can mean one recovery period instead of several.
For an endoscopic brow lift, the incisions are placed behind the hairline, and a tiny camera inserted into the incision views the underlying tissues. The temporal brow lift traces incisions near the temples behind the hairline to reposition the brow. Both techniques are designed to conceal incisions within the hairline, so any resulting scars are typically well hidden once healing is complete.
Am I A Candidate for Brow Lift in Beverly Hills?
If you want to address signs of aging or skin laxity on the forehead, then a brow lift in Beverly Hills with Dr. Sykes could be your ideal solution. You can also combine a brow lift with other facial surgeries for enhanced results. Some additional procedures often combined with a forehead lift include eyelid surgery, a facelift, or a cheek lift. Good candidates are generally in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve.

The Brow Lift Recovery Process
After your brow lift in Beverly Hills, you can return home with a companion driving you the same day. Dr. Sykes recommends that patients start their recovery with about one to two weeks of downtime. This crucial period requires you to focus on resting, avoiding any activity, and following your post-procedure instructions. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities within a week, though it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise until Dr. Sykes gives the go-ahead.
Following the aftercare instructions closely will improve your results and help you avoid complications. At first, there will be swelling, discomfort, and redness/bruising that can be managed with medication and specific care instructions. These symptoms of post-surgical healing gradually decrease with time. Attending your follow-up appointments allows Dr. Sykes to monitor your healing and address any concerns as they arise.

FAQ
Beverly Hills Brow Lift
There is no specific age that is best to perform a brow lift. If the patient has brow ptosis in addition to upper eyelid problems, a simultaneous brow lift with upper blepharoplasty will give the best surgical outcome.
Neither a brow lift nor an eyelid lift is better than the other. Rather, during a consultation, Dr. Sykes will question the patient about what they want to achieve from the procedure and perform a careful examination to determine which option will create the best results. Dr. Sykes may recommend one or both procedures.
Brow lifts do not fix hooded eyes, but they may be necessary for patients who have upper eyelid problems, such as hooded eyelids. The choice to do an upper eyelid blepharoplasty or lower blepharoplasty requires an examination and individual diagnosis. In many patients, a simultaneous brow lift with upper eyelid blepharoplasty is necessary to create their desired surgical outcome.
Most patients take about one to two weeks off from work to allow the initial swelling and bruising to subside. Many people feel comfortable returning to a desk job or light responsibilities within this window, though your specific timeline will depend on your healing progress and the nature of your work.
Yes. A brow lift is frequently combined with upper eyelid surgery, a facelift, or a cheek lift to create balanced, natural-looking results across the face. Combining procedures during a single surgery can also mean one recovery period instead of multiple, which many patients find more convenient.
Botox® can create a very small and temporary lateral brow elevation. However, it is not a replacement for the effects of a surgical brow lift. When performed properly, a brow lift repositions soft tissues and creates a semi-permanent outcome.
After a surgical brow lift, patients can still get Botox® to slightly enhance their surgical results. Whether the patient may need Botox® after a brow lift is based on their particular anatomy, the surgery performed, and their perception of this result.
A surgical brow lift is designed to provide long-lasting results, and many patients enjoy their refreshed appearance for a decade or more. While the natural aging process continues, the results of your brow lift become part of your new baseline, so future signs of aging typically appear on top of an already-improved position rather than starting from where you began.
Dr. Sykes places incisions carefully within or just behind the hairline for both the endoscopic and temporal brow lift techniques, so any resulting scars are typically well concealed by your own hair. Most patients find their scars fade significantly and become difficult to notice once healing is complete.
Brow lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, though some patients may be candidates for lighter sedation depending on their goals and the extent of the procedure. Dr. Sykes and his team will discuss the best option for your safety and comfort during your consultation.
