The procedure
Opening Up the Upper Face
An eyebrow lift is a cosmetic procedure that elevates or repositions sagging eyebrows to rejuvenate the upper face. As the brow descends with age, it can crowd the upper eyelid and contribute to a tired, heavy or stern appearance, even when the eyelids themselves are otherwise unaffected.
Dr. Leandro Junqueira evaluates the position and shape of your brows relative to your eyes and forehead to plan a lift that restores a more open, alert expression while keeping the result proportionate and natural.
Why patients choose it
A More Open Gaze
Repositioning the brow reduces the crowding that can make the eyes look smaller or more tired.
Softened Forehead Lines
Addressing brow position can reduce the frown lines that form from compensating for lower brows.
Natural Brow Shape
The goal is a refreshed, symmetrical arch rather than a permanently surprised expression.
Complements Eyelid Surgery
Often combined with blepharoplasty for a more complete rejuvenation of the upper face.
Discreet Incisions
Depending on the technique, incisions are placed within the hairline or scalp, where they are well concealed.
Long-Lasting Improvement
Repositioning the underlying tissue gives more durable results than temporary treatments.

Recovery
Guided aftercare as swelling and bruising resolve and the brow settles into its new position.
Techniques and Options
The right technique depends on the degree of correction needed and whether other procedures are being combined.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Performed through small incisions hidden in the scalp using a camera for guidance, offering a less invasive approach with minimal scarring.
Temporal Brow Lift
Focuses on lifting the outer portion of the brow through a more limited incision, suited to milder cases.
Combined with Blepharoplasty
When both the brow and the upper eyelids show signs of aging, treating them together creates a more balanced upper face.
Before and After
Eyebrow Lift FAQ
This depends on where the excess skin or heaviness originates. If the brow itself has descended, an eyebrow lift addresses the root cause, while blepharoplasty targets excess skin at the eyelid level. Many patients benefit from a combination, which is assessed during consultation.
No, that is specifically avoided. The goal is a natural, proportionate elevation that opens up the eyes without creating an overly arched or permanently surprised expression.
Incisions are placed within the hairline or scalp, depending on the technique, so they are well concealed once healed.
Most patients experience swelling and some bruising for the first one to two weeks, with a return to routine activities within that timeframe.
Because the underlying tissue is repositioned, results are long lasting. Natural aging continues afterward, but the brow position is set back significantly.
