Brow Lift Perth
A brow lift, also known as an eyebrow lift or forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate the position of the eyebrows and smooth forehead lines. Over time, the natural ageing process causes the skin and underlying tissues of the forehead to lose elasticity. This can result in the eyebrows descending, a condition known as brow ptosis.
A brow lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial surgeries, such as upper or lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), to address multiple concern area in one treatment plan. During your consultation at Absolute Cosmetic in Perth, Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most suitable surgical approach to achieve natural‑looking results.

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery
At Absolute Cosmetic Perth, we offer Brow Lift surgery, a procedure that involves surgically repositioning the eyebrows by adjusting the soft tissue and skin of the upper face. This can be done for individuals who have a lower brow position or changes in the forehead area.
In some cases, the position of the brow and forehead may also influence the appearance of the upper eyelids. For some people, addressing both areas at the same time — for example, with a combination of a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) — may be considered. During your consultation, Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) will examine the treatment area, review your medical history, and discuss procedural options that may be suitable for your individual situation. These may include other approaches such as fat transfer, thread lift, or skin resurfacing.
Each person’s anatomy, preferences, and medical history will be taken into account when discussing procedural suitability. The potential risks, benefits, and recovery times will be explained during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about whether brow lift surgery, on its own or in combination with other procedures, is right for you.
Temporal Brow Lift
The Temporal Brow Lift procedure specifically aims to lift the temporal area of the face, which includes elevating the tail of the eyebrow and addressing the lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet), the wrinkles that appear on the outer side of the eyes. To achieve this, a small incision is made along the hairline on each side. Incisions are strategically placed to minimise visible scarring, aiming for a more discreet outcome.
Threads to the Forehead
Closed thread lifts have seen significant advancements from their initial inception, which involved the use of brittle Russian threads, to the modern, absorbable threads used today. These contemporary threads are typically inserted using treatments and are designed with barbs or similar structures to effectively hold and lift the skin on the forehead. Additionally, some threads are equipped with small cones or similar features that aid in grasping the dermis, providing an enhanced lifting effect. This evolution in thread lift technology has led to more durable options for those seeking a non-surgical approach.
Transpalpebral Lift
The procedure referred to as the Transpalpebral Browpexy is specifically designed to lift the outer brow. It is particularly suitable for individuals who experience a slight drop at the tail end of their eyebrows. This technique can be effectively combined with eyelid surgery, known as Upper Blepharoplasty, for a more comprehensive facial uplift. This approach is designed to address both brow and eyelid concerns simultaneously.
Comprehensive Lift
While a brow lift is intended to elevate the eyebrows and address changes in the forehead and brow area related to skin laxity, a mini face lift is a surgical procedure that can address multiple areas, including the mid-face and jawline. This may involve lifting underlying structures and removing excess skin. Recovery time can vary, but may be shorter than that associated with traditional facelift procedures. To explore the differences between these procedures and discuss which option may suit your individual needs, visit our Face Lift page.

Risks and Recovery following a Brow Lift
Risks
Like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks and potential complications. Here are some of the potential risks associated with a surgical brow lift: Infection, scarring, nerve damage, eyebrow asymmetry, eye dryness or irritation, forehead numbness or tightness, or anesthesia risks to name a few.
It’s important to note that the likelihood of experiencing these risks varies from person to person and depends on factors such as surgical technique, individual health status, and adherence to post-operative instructions. Patients should thoroughly discuss their medical history, expectations, and concerns with our team of nurses and doctors at your consultations.
Recovery
Post-surgery, a minimum of 5 days of rest is crucial, during which time all strenuous activities should be avoided. Additionally, it is imperative to abstain from smoking entirely. If sutures are applied, they are typically removed on Day 7. Many patients find they can resume work around Day 8, although this timeline can vary based on the extent of swelling and bruising experienced. It’s important to remember that recovery times can differ significantly from one individual to another. Factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle choices play a role in influencing the pace and nature of your recovery process.
For the initial 2 weeks post-surgery, it’s advisable to avoid all forms of exercise, with the exception of walking. After this period, a gradual and cautious reintroduction of physical activity is recommended. Your nursing team will provide a comprehensive overview of your post-operative care on day 1, following the procedure. Adhering closely to these guidelines is essential for achieving optimal recovery. It’s important to follow their advice carefully to ensure a smooth and effective healing process.
An endoscopic eyebrow lift uses small incisions hidden within the hairline and specialised tools to lift the brow, resulting in minimal scarring. In contrast, a trichophytic brow lift involves an incision along the hairline, making it suitable for lifting the brow while simultaneously adjusting the position of the hairline. Your Doctor will recommend the most appropriate technique based on your unique goals and anatomy.
A lateral eyebrow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the outer portion of the eyebrows.
A lateral eyebrow lift is suitable for individuals looking to address excess skin or skin laxity in the outer brow region. This procedure is sometimes considered by individuals wishing to address the position of the brows as part of an overall approach to facial harmony. Your Doctor can provide personalised advice to determine if this treatment aligns with your goals.
The cost of an eyebrow lift can vary based on the specific procedure and individual factors, such as the complexity of the treatment and personal goals. For a general guide, prices at Absolute Cosmetic in Perth start from $2,200. During a consultation, your Doctor can provide a detailed breakdown of costs tailored to your specific needs.
Yes, men can undergo eyebrow lift surgery. This procedure is tailored to address concerns such as brow asymmetry, skin laxity, or the position of the brows.
Your Doctor will customise the treatment to suit your goals and achieve a balanced, masculine appearance.
There is no specific age for an eyebrow lift, as suitability varies based on individual anatomy, skin laxity, and personal goals. This procedure is often considered by individuals who notice changes in the position of their brows or skin elasticity over time. A consultation with your Doctor will help determine if an eyebrow lift is the right option for you, regardless of your age.
Recovery after an eyebrow lift typically takes about 1–2 weeks for initial healing, during which swelling and bruising gradually subside. Most individuals feel comfortable resuming light activities within this time frame, but complete recovery may take a few weeks depending on the specific procedure and personal healing factors. Your Doctor will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to support your recovery.
Eyebrow lift procedures are designed to minimise visible scarring by carefully placing incisions in discreet locations, such as along the hairline or within natural skin folds. In most cases, scars are subtle and fade over time with proper care. However, healing and scarring can vary based on factors such as age, genetics, and medications.
To support the healing process and reduce scar visibility, Healite II LED light therapy is available. This treatment promotes skin repair, reduces redness, and enhances recovery. During a consultation, your Doctor can address your concerns and provide guidance on optimising your healing process.
The results of an eyebrow lift can last for several years, as the procedure provides long-term improvements in the position and appearance of the brows. However, natural aging will continue to affect the skin and underlying tissues over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following your Doctor’s post-operative care recommendations can help prolong the benefits of the procedure.
After an eyebrow lift, you may experience initial swelling, tightness, and mild bruising around the treated area. These symptoms are normal and typically improve during the first few weeks of the healing process. Most individuals feel comfortable resuming light activities within 1–2 weeks. Your Doctor will provide personalised post-operative care instructions to support recovery and ensure the best possible outcome.
