Forehead Lift Surgery Dubai: Brow Lift Procedure & Recovery

A forehead lift surgery in Dubai, also known as a brow lift, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper face by addressing sagging eyebrows, deep forehead wrinkles, and stubborn frown lines. At Tajmeels Clinic, Dubai’s trusted cosmetic center, board-certified surgeons perform these procedures using the latest techniques in accredited clinics and hospitals. Most forehead lifts are done as outpatient surgeries with options for local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety.

Forehead Lift Procedure Overview

The surgery duration usually ranges between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the technique best suited to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, our expert surgeons will recommend the ideal approach tailored specifically for you.

Surgical Techniques for Forehead Lift in Dubai

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The preferred modern technique is characterized by minimal invasiveness. Using 3 to 5 tiny incisions hidden within the hairline, an endoscope, a small camera, is used to carefully lift and reposition muscles and tissues. This approach provides minimal scarring, a faster recovery, and natural-looking results secured with absorbable sutures or fixation devices.

Classic Coronal Brow Lift

Involves a longer incision from ear to ear across the scalp, hidden within the hair. This method allows comprehensive correction by lifting skin, removing excess tissue, and reshaping muscles. Ideal for patients seeking a more dramatic lift but involves longer scars and healing time.

Hairline (Pre-trichial) Lift

The incision is placed at the junction of the forehead and hairline, perfect for patients with a high forehead who want to avoid further recession of the hairline while achieving a refreshed look.

Temporal Lift

Targets the outer brow area using smaller incisions near the temples to lift and smooth this region with less downtime.

Forehead Lift Recovery Timeline

Initial Recovery (1–3 Days)

Expect normal swelling and bruising, peaking around day three. Keep your head elevated and apply cold compresses as recommended. Bandages are usually removed after 1 to 3 days.

First Week

Stitches or staples are removed within 7 to 10 days. Most patients resume light activities and return to work during this time.

Longer Term Recovery (Weeks to Months)

Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and sun exposure for several weeks. Minor swelling, numbness, or itching are common as nerves heal. Final results develop gradually over a few months and can last many years.

Advantages and Considerations of Forehead Lift Surgery

Benefits of a Forehead Lift

• Instantly refreshed, alert, and youthful facial expression

Potential Risks of Forehead Lift Surgery

• Visible scarring depending on technique (minimal with modern methods)
• Temporary or rarely permanent changes in skin sensation
• Possible minor asymmetry in brow positioning
• Hair thinning or loss near incision sites
• Rare nerve injuries affecting eyebrow movement

Cost of Forehead Lift Surgery in Dubai

Forehead lift surgery costs in Dubai typically range between AED 26,000 to AED 30,000. Factors affecting price include the chosen technique, surgeon experience, clinic facilities, and, if combined with other procedures like eyelid surgery or a facelift.
