Is a Brow Lift right for you?
A good consultation is as much about whether a procedure fits as how it's done. Here's a candid starting point.
You may be a good fit if…
- Your brow sits low or feels heavy over the eyes
- You have deep forehead lines or frown creases
- You look tired or stern even when you're not
- You're in good general health and a non-smoker (or willing to quit)
Another option may suit you better if…
If your concern is excess upper-eyelid skin rather than brow position, an eyelid procedure may be the better fit — and sometimes the two are combined for the most natural result.
Best discussed at your consultation
- Whether the issue is the brow, the eyelids, or both
- The right brow height for your face (avoiding a surprised look)
- Endoscopic versus open technique for your hairline

What brow lift can do for you
A brow lift repositions the brow and relaxes the muscles that pull it down — restoring a natural, rested arch.
What it treats
- A low or heavy brow position
- Deep horizontal forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows
- A tired or angry resting expression
Why this approach
Dr. Kouli sets the brow at a height that suits your features — enough to open the eyes and refresh the face without creating a surprised or over-elevated look.
What it won't do
- Remove excess upper-eyelid skin on its own
- Treat crow's feet or lower-eyelid concerns
- Replace skin-resurfacing for fine surface lines
Brow lift techniques
The right approach depends on your hairline, forehead height, and the degree of lift needed.
Endoscopic brow lift
Small hidden incisions and a camera-guided lift — less scarring and a quicker recovery for many.
Trichophytic / hairline lift
An incision at the hairline that can also lower a high forehead while lifting the brow.
Combined with eyelids
Pairing with an upper-eyelid procedure often gives the most natural, balanced result.

Brow Lift FAQs
Will I look permanently surprised?
No. Dr. Kouli sets a conservative, natural brow height tailored to your face — the goal is rested and refreshed, not over-elevated.
Brow lift or eyelid surgery?
It depends on whether the heaviness comes from brow position or excess eyelid skin. A consultation clarifies which — and whether combining them is best.
Where are the incisions?
Often within or just behind the hairline, where they're designed to be discreet. Technique depends on your anatomy and goals.
How long is recovery?
Many patients return to normal activity within a couple of weeks. Your specific timeline is reviewed at your consultation.
