Some patients feel their expression looks tired or stern even when they feel well. A brow lift addresses this by adjusting the position of the brow and softening the upper face while maintaining a natural appearance.
At Bodyvie in London, brow lift surgery is performed following a detailed consultation and clinical assessment. Dr Vadim Corjos reviews your facial anatomy, skin quality and overall proportions before confirming whether the procedure is appropriate.
A brow lift adjusts the position of the eyebrows to restore balance between the forehead, brows and upper eyelids. As the brow lowers with age, it can create excess skin above the eyelids and contribute to a heavier appearance in the upper face.
During a brow lift, the surgeon carefully lifts and stabilises the brow in a slightly higher position. This helps reduce forehead creases and relieves pressure on the upper eyelids.
The goal is not to create an over-arched or surprised look. Instead, the procedure aims to restore a natural brow position that reflects the patient’s facial structure.
In some cases, a brow lift may also be combined with upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) if excess eyelid skin contributes to heaviness around the eyes.
Bodyvie provides consultant-led aesthetic treatments in a regulated clinical environment. Each procedure is planned carefully following medical assessment and discussion of suitable options.
Patients benefit from:
The clinic focuses on natural results and responsible aesthetic care.
Patients usually consider a brow lift when they notice gradual changes in the upper face. The brow can descend slowly over time, which may affect both appearance and expression.
Suitable candidates may include people who:
Suitability depends on several factors, including skin quality, brow position and overall facial balance. These factors are assessed carefully during consultation.
A brow lift aims to restore a more open and balanced appearance to the upper face. The procedure focuses on repositioning the brow in a way that looks natural rather than noticeably altered.
Many patients choose this treatment because the change can be subtle but meaningful. Lifting the brow slightly can soften forehead lines and reduce heaviness above the eyes.
Benefits of a brow lift may include:
Swelling gradually settles in the weeks after surgery. As healing progresses, the brow position stabilises and the overall effect becomes clearer.
Brow lift surgery at Bodyvie is performed by Dr Vadim Corjos, a GMC-registered doctor with experience in facial aesthetic procedures.
Dr Corjos focuses on balanced, natural-looking outcomes and takes a careful approach to facial anatomy. Each treatment begins with a detailed consultation and clinical assessment.
More information about Dr Corjos can be found on the Bodyvie team page.
Your consultation begins with a detailed assessment of the upper face. Dr Corjos evaluates brow position, forehead movement and eyelid anatomy to understand how these areas interact.
Medical history and previous treatments are also discussed. Clinical photographs may be taken to assist with surgical planning.
This appointment provides an opportunity to talk through your goals and understand what a brow lift can realistically achieve.
Brow lift surgery is usually performed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available if appropriate.
Small incisions are placed discreetly within the hairline or natural scalp area. Through these incisions, the surgeon gently lifts and repositions the brow before securing it in its new position.
The procedure typically takes between one and two hours depending on the surgical approach used.
Patients return home the same day following treatment. The clinic provides detailed aftercare instructions to support recovery.
Follow-up appointments allow the team to monitor healing and remove any stitches if required. These visits also provide an opportunity to review early results.
Swelling and bruising across the forehead and around the eyes are common after brow lift surgery. These effects usually improve during the first two weeks.
Many patients feel comfortable returning to work after around 10 days, depending on the level of swelling. Strenuous exercise and activities that increase pressure in the face should be avoided for a short period while healing progresses.
Following aftercare guidance helps ensure recovery progresses smoothly.
Early improvement becomes visible once the initial swelling settles. Over the following weeks the brow position stabilises and the final result becomes clearer.
Results often last many years, although natural ageing continues. The procedure restores brow position but does not stop the ageing process entirely.
The cost of brow lift surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure and the surgical approach required.
A personalised quotation is provided during consultation once your surgeon has assessed your anatomy and treatment goals. All fees are discussed clearly before any procedure proceeds.
All surgical procedures carry potential risks, even when performed by experienced surgeons. With brow lift surgery these may include swelling, bruising, infection, scarring or temporary numbness of the scalp.
In some cases there may be minor asymmetry or small changes in brow position as the tissues heal. These possibilities are discussed in detail during consultation so you can make an informed decision before treatment proceeds.
