What to Know About Brow Lift Surgery
A More Youthful Forehead Starts Here
The forehead is one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging. Drooping brows, deep forehead lines, and a heavy, tired expression can all develop gradually over time and be difficult to address without surgery. A brow lift, also known as browplasty or forehead rejuvenation, corrects these changes by tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin for a more alert, refreshed appearance.
At the Miami Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Gabriel Salloum performs brow lift surgery with careful attention to natural-looking results. Contact us to schedule your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a brow lift?
A brow lift, also called browplasty or forehead rejuvenation, is a surgical procedure that raises drooping brows, smooths forehead lines, and reduces the hooding effect over the upper eyelids. It works by tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin in the forehead and brow area. Results look naturally refreshed, not pulled or overdone.
How does brow lift surgery work?
Depending on the technique used, small incisions are made either within the hairline or across the scalp. The underlying forehead muscles are adjusted and tightened, excess skin is removed, and the brow is repositioned at a more youthful height. Dr. Salloum takes care to avoid over-lifting, which is the most common cause of an unnatural result.
How long does brow lift surgery take?
Brow lift surgery typically takes one to two hours and is performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients go home the same day. Recovery is generally smooth, with most patients back to light activity within one to two weeks and more physical activity resuming at four weeks.
What is the right age for a brow lift?
There is no single right age for brow lift surgery. Most patients are in their 30s, 40s, and early 50s, but the right time depends on when the signs of aging become a concern for you personally. If forehead lines, drooping brows, or a tired expression are affecting your confidence, a consultation can help determine whether a brow lift or another treatment is the right next step.
What is the difference between a brow lift and eyelid surgery?
A brow lift repositions a descended brow to reduce forehead lines and upper eyelid hooding. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, directly removes excess skin from the upper or lower eyelids. The two procedures address overlapping but distinct concerns, and many patients benefit from having both performed together. During your consultation, we will evaluate which approach addresses the root cause of your concerns.
Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A brow lift is commonly combined with eyelid surgery, facelift, or Botox treatments for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation result. Combining procedures means a single recovery period and a more balanced overall outcome. Whether combining is appropriate for you will be discussed during your consultation.
How much does brow lift surgery cost in Miami?
The cost of brow lift surgery in Miami varies based on the technique used and whether additional procedures are combined. The Miami Center for Plastic Surgery offers financing through Cherry, with flexible payment options available. A personalized quote will be provided during your consultation.
