Brow Lift

Brow Lift Surgery in Vancouver, BC

A brow lift (also known as a forehead lift) is a surgical procedure that lifts and repositions the eyebrows, smooths forehead lines, and opens up the eye area, giving you a more youthful, rested and alert appearance. Over time, the brow can droop, creating a tired, angry, or aged appearance. A brow lift gently repositions the eyebrows to a more youthful height, softening forehead lines and improving the appearance of sagging skin.

The First Step
Procedure at a Glance
The Recovery

01. The First Step

A brow lift repositions the brow to a more youthful, natural height, softening forehead heaviness and opening the upper eyelid area. Over time, the brow gradually descends — a change so subtle that many patients attribute the resulting heaviness to their eyelids instead.

Dr. Denton assesses your brow position at rest, your forehead anatomy, your hairline, and how these elements relate to your eyes. He'll discuss the surgical approaches available — including minimal-incision endoscopic techniques — and which one suits your anatomy and goals. The aim is always a refreshed expression, never a raised or startled look.

02. Procedure at a Glance

Brow lift surgery is performed under anaesthesia, with incision placement depending on the chosen technique. Endoscopic approaches use several small incisions hidden within the hair, through which Dr. Denton releases and repositions the brow tissues. The procedure may be performed alone or alongside blepharoplasty for a more complete upper-face rejuvenation.

You'll receive thorough preparation instructions ahead of time, and most patients return home the same day.

03. The Recovery

Expect some swelling, tightness, and occasionally temporary numbness across the forehead and scalp in the early days. These sensations resolve gradually as healing progresses. Most patients are comfortable resuming light routines within a week or two, with full activity reintroduced on Dr. Denton's schedule.

Because brow lift recovery varies with technique and individual healing, your follow-up plan is tailored to you. The result, a naturally elevated, more open expression, settles in fully over the weeks that follow.

Dr. Denton performed blepharoplasty... I was honestly amazed at the results. Not only did it 'literally' open my eyes to just how restricted my vision had been, I feel like it has taken years off me.

Dr. Denton and his entire team were wonderful. Very patient in answering any questions I had... If I ever need to have anything else done - you can bet I will be going back to Dr. Denton and his great team.

My last two surgeries have been done by Dr. Denton. When I say, they go above and beyond to make sure their patients are safe, comfortable, and taken care of I truly mean it.

I come from out of town to have my surgeries done at Refine Cosmetic Surgery and they truly made me feel at home. They are professional, kind, and caring.
