Brow Lift
At St. George Cosmetic Surgery Center In Utah
Your eyebrows help you express many different emotions; they pull together when you frown, soften and relax when you smile, and shoot upward when you’re surprised. The more expressive you are, the more these muscles get a workout–and the faster they can lose elasticity. Fortunately, you don’t need to keep a straight face at all times just to prevent drooping eyebrows.
A brow lift is a plastic surgery that corrects sagging eyebrows. As this area of skin loses firmness with age, your eyebrows may start to drift downward toward your upper eyelids. At St. George Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Ahmed will use advanced technology to gently tighten and lift the skin near your eyebrows, creating a brighter, rejuvenated appearance.
Who Is A Good Candidate For A Brow Lift?
Those who are looking for a way to get long-lasting results with a minimally invasive procedure may be good candidates for eyebrow surgery in St. George, Utah. Good candidates for a brow lift include those who:
- Have sagging or drooping forehead skin
- Have deep wrinkles or folds between the eyebrows or lower forehead
- Don’t smoke
- Don’t have any underlying medical conditions

Why Should You Choose St. George Cosmetic Surgery Center For Your Brow Lift?
The positioning of your eyebrows plays a significant role in your facial structure. If they’re too high, you’ll look perpetually shocked by something; if they’re too low, you’ll constantly look grumpy and tired. They need to be in just the right position to suit your features and create a symmetrical and youthful facial profile.
Led by Dr. Mustafa Ahmed, the surgical team at St. George Cosmetic Surgery Center knows how to produce brow lift results that work with your natural aesthetic appearance. They will use the latest techniques to tighten and lift the skin and muscles surrounding your eyebrows, giving you a lighter, refreshed look.
Brow Lift Procedure In St. George, Utah
Your consultation with Dr. Ahmed is the starting point of your brow lift process. Dr. Ahmed will review your medical history before determining if you’re a good candidate for brow lift surgery. Next, he will walk you through the surgical process and explain how a brow lift will improve your aesthetic and refresh your face.
Before your surgery, you will receive an anesthetic to help keep you comfortable during the brow lift procedure. Dr. Ahmed will then make small incisions and use advanced surgical equipment and techniques, including the endoscopic technique. This allows Dr. Ahmed to work through small incisions along the hairline. With the help of an endoscopic camera that provides a visual of the surgical area, Dr. Ahmed tightens the forehead muscles and tissue while repositioning the skin higher on your forehead and removing excess tissue. This will also reduce the wrinkles and frown lines on your forehead and between your eyebrows.
Brow Lift Recovery Timeline
Recovery will likely take one to two weeks. During this time, expect swelling and bruising, though this generally begins to improve after the first week. Your body needs time to rest and heal, so avoiding heavy lifting and other strenuous activities is best for at least two weeks post-operation. You can resume your daily activities, such as work, after two weeks or as soon as Dr. Ahmed clears you to return to your regular routines.

FAQ
Can You Still Move Your Eyebrows After A Brow Lift?
Yes, you can still move your eyebrows after a brow lift! You might feel some tightness or stiffness in the muscles immediately following your surgery; however, this is normal and generally doesn’t last long. You may also have numbness or sensation changes due to nerves affected by a brow lift. While this, too, is often temporary, it can take a bit longer before it resolves completely.
What Are The Restrictions After A Brow Lift?
After your brow lift, you can take some preventive measures to make sure you get the best possible results from the surgery. Dr. Ahmed and the team at St. George Cosmetic Surgery Center will give you a list of instructions to follow as you head home to recover. These may include avoiding alcohol, smoking, strenuous exercise (heavy lifting, bending over, etc.), and anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications. Sleep with your head elevated, apply ice packs to reduce swelling, and take any medicines Dr. Ahmed prescribes.
Can A Brow Lift Fix Hooded Eyes?
In some cases, a brow lift can help improve hooded eyes; however, it depends on what is causing your eyes to look hooded. If the skin near your brows is less elastic and has sagged and dropped to your eyes, then a brow lift will likely help reverse this problem. If your hooded eyes stem from excess eyelid skin or pockets of fat above your eyes, you may need to consider upper blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery) to restore wider, brighter eyes.
How Long Do Brow Lifts Last?
The longevity of your brow lift results will depend on several factors. Genetics and how quickly your skin ages may affect how your brow lift looks over time. Different surgical techniques may lead to a longer (or shorter) results window. Many patients enjoy their results for at least five years, with some experiencing longer periods of ten to twelve years before seeing a significant change in their results.
