With aging, the eyebrows gradually begin to sag and descend, which alters facial features and creates an appearance of fatigue or sadness even at rest. Here, eyebrow lift surgery stands out as an effective cosmetic solution that restores facial balance and gives the face a naturally youthful and radiant look.
This procedure aims to lift the eyebrow to its ideal position, opening up the eye area and reducing wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, without creating an artificial or exaggerated appearance.
Dr. Sari Bin Rabah is considered one of the distinguished specialists in this field, combining artistic aesthetic sense with surgical expertise to achieve natural results that enhance facial beauty rather than alter it. Under his supervision, the eyebrow lift experience becomes safe and comfortable, leaving a clear positive impact on both appearance and mood.
What Is an Eyebrow Lift?
An eyebrow lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate and reshape the position of the eyebrows in a way that enhances the appearance of both the forehead and eyes. The importance of this procedure lies in eliminating skin sagging or eyebrow drooping caused by aging or chronic fatigue, giving the face a more youthful look.
Eyebrow lift surgery can be performed surgically through precise incisions hidden within the hairline, or using modern techniques such as endoscopy or cosmetic threads, depending on the patient’s condition and degree of sagging. The procedure helps widen the eye area, reduce horizontal forehead wrinkles, and lift the eyebrows harmoniously with facial features, without causing a stiff or unnatural appearance.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Eyebrow Lift Surgery
Eyebrow lift surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the upper face and restoring youthful features. While it provides clear aesthetic results, it carries certain benefits and risks like any medical procedure.
Advantages include:
- Improving the overall appearance of the face and giving it a more youthful look, especially in the forehead and eye area.
- Reducing fine lines and deep wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.
- Lifting sagging eyebrows, adding brightness and expressiveness to facial features.
- Improving the visual field in some cases where eyebrow drooping affects vision.
- Long-lasting results compared to non-surgical solutions.
- Can be combined with other procedures such as eyelid surgery or facelifts for enhanced results.
Potential risks include:
- The appearance of scars, which are usually hidden within the hairline.
- Recovery may take several days to weeks for swelling and bruising to completely subside.
- Relatively high cost, especially when advanced techniques or specialized centers are involved.
- Minor asymmetry between the eyebrows in some cases.
How Is Eyebrow Lift Surgery Performed?
The steps of eyebrow lift surgery include:
- During the medical consultation, Dr. Sari Bin Rabah evaluates the shape of the forehead and eyebrows, listens to your expectations, and determines the most suitable procedure—surgical or non-surgical.
- Conducting medical tests to ensure readiness for the procedure.
- Using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the procedure type and scope.
- Designing the surgical incision based on the technique used; in the traditional method, a long incision is made behind the hairline, while endoscopic techniques involve several small incisions behind the hairline.
- Gently lifting the forehead skin and eyebrows, adjusting muscles and underlying tissues to reduce wrinkles and elevate the brows.
- Removing excess skin when necessary to improve results.
- Closing incisions with fine sutures or cosmetic staples, usually hidden within the hair to minimize scarring.
- During recovery, a light dressing is applied, and post-operative instructions are given to reduce swelling and bruising. Patients can usually return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days.
When Do Eyebrow Lift Results Appear?
Results begin to appear gradually during the first few days after surgery as swelling decreases and facial features stabilize. Initial results are typically noticeable within one to two weeks, as bruising and swelling subside.
Final results become clearly visible after 4 to 6 weeks, with continued improvement for up to 3 months post-procedure.
The timing of results largely depends on the technique used—surgical, endoscopic, or thread lift—as well as the patient’s adherence to post-operative instructions.
Eyebrow Lift Before and After
Eyebrow lift surgery has a noticeable impact on facial features, especially in the forehead and eye area.
Before eyebrow lift:
- Sagging or drooping eyebrows.
- A tired or sad appearance even at rest.
- Prominent horizontal forehead wrinkles.
- Deep frown lines between the eyebrows.
- In some cases, eyebrow drooping may put pressure on the upper eyelid and affect vision.
Expected results after eyebrow lift:
- Naturally elevated and well-balanced eyebrows.
- Significant improvement in facial expressions, creating a brighter and more youthful look.
- Reduction or disappearance of forehead and eye-area wrinkles.
- A more open eye appearance, reducing signs of fatigue.
- Improved visual field if eyebrow drooping previously affected vision.

Post-Eyebrow Lift Care Instructions
To ensure proper recovery and optimal results, follow these guidelines:
- Rest in a comfortable position with your head elevated during the first few days to reduce swelling and bruising.
- Avoid bending or lifting heavy objects during the first week to prevent pressure on the surgical area.
- Use cold compresses during the first 48 hours to reduce swelling around the eyes and forehead.
- Take prescribed medications such as pain relievers and antibiotics as directed.
- Avoid direct sun exposure, and wear a hat or sunglasses when going outside.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they slow healing and affect results.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated using two pillows.
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the forehead or eyebrows until complete healing, especially if cosmetic threads are used.
- Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to monitor healing.
- You may return to work after one week, while exercise should be postponed for 3 to 4 weeks depending on your condition.
