Many people suffer from drooping brows and frown lines that make their facial expressions appear angry and sharp. Therefore, Dr. Tarek Zahra, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, offers a brow lift procedure, which helps create better facial expressions that reflect a person's true feelings and achieve a more youthful appearance.
Brow lift surgery with Dr. Tarek Zahra:
Advanced brow lift surgery creates a more refined appearance by modifying muscles and tissues and eliminating wrinkles from the brow and forehead area, giving the face a more youthful and vibrant appearance. A brow lift does not directly affect or alter the appearance of the eye bags, but it does create a more alert and brighter appearance.
In addition, thanks to Dr. Tarek Zahra's expertise and experience, brow lift surgery can be combined with facelift or eyelid surgery, achieving a more comprehensive enhancement of the entire face.
Benefits of a brow lift with Dr. Tarek Zahra:
• Removes horizontal forehead lines and wrinkles.
• Eliminates wrinkles and deep lines in the nasal bridge between the eyebrows.
• Improves vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, which cause an angry or sad appearance.
• Lifts sagging eyebrows that cover the upper eyelids.
• Achieves a more alert and youthful appearance to the eyebrows and face in general.
Why do you need a brow lift?
Several factors lead to a loss of skin elasticity, such as aging and prolonged exposure to harmful sun rays, causing a decrease in collagen and elastin production. These proteins play an effective role in firming the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Gravity also plays a role in sagging skin, leading to the appearance of wrinkles known as frown lines or those that create an "11" shape between the eyebrows.
Droopy, sagging eyebrows can make a person appear angry or irritable, negatively impacting their professional and social life. Furthermore, a frowning or drooping eyebrow is not just a result of aging; it can also be hereditary, making people look tired and upset even at their best.
Therefore, eyebrow lift surgery contributes to:
• Improving social interactions by eliminating incorrect facial expressions that give the impression of anger and frowning.
• Achieving a brighter, more awake eye appearance and a more youthful upper third of the face through removing wrinkles.
• Boosting self-confidence by creating a better appearance that reflects your true inner feelings and reduces concerns about others’ impressions.
Advantages of eyebrow lift surgery:
• A brow lift offers a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution for sagging brows and deep forehead wrinkles compared to non-surgical injectable treatments like Botox, which only tighten the skin and do not adjust the muscles or remove excess tissue. Non-surgical methods are more suitable for mild cases.
• This advanced surgery helps correct facial asymmetry for people who suffer from a noticeable unevenness between the two sides of the upper face.
• The eyebrow lift procedure takes between one and two hours, allowing it to be combined with several cosmetic procedures during the same procedure, such as: rhinoplasty, 5D facelift, eyelid surgery, facial fat injections, neck and jawline sculpting using the Zahra Line technique, and other facial cosmetic procedures.
Who Is a Candidate for a Brow Lift?
• Ideal candidates for a brow lift are individuals in good health and non-smokers.
• Individuals seeking a brow lift procedure are often between 40 and 60 years old and suffer from deep wrinkles and lines in the upper third of the face, along with sagging eyebrows.
• This procedure is also suitable for younger people who have early signs of aging, especially in the forehead, with drooping eyebrows covering the upper eyelids.
• This procedure is not suitable for people with natural or high eyebrows, as it may negatively affect natural facial expressions and give them an unnaturally surprised appearance.
Brow lift procedure details:
Dr. Tarek Zahra offers brow lift surgery using the latest surgical methods and techniques, achieving results that restore the natural appearance of the brow and permanently enhance natural facial expressions.
The surgical approach varies depending on the facial shape, the sagging extent, and the degree of lifting required to best suit the natural facial features.
The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Tarek Zahra then skillfully selects one of the following techniques, depending on each individual's condition and purpose:
1. Minimally invasive brow lift: This technique is performed through small incisions directly above each temple, behind the hairline, in the area between the eye and eyebrow. It is used to lift the outer portion of the brow by tightening and lifting the tissue. This minimally invasive technique is ideal for patients with drooping eyebrows over the upper eyelids.
2. Traditional brow lift: This technique involves a single incision extending from ear to ear behind the hairline. This procedure tightens the muscles and tissues beneath the forehead and removes excess, sagging skin. This procedure is ideal for correcting eyebrow asymmetry and correcting deep horizontal lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows.
After correcting wrinkles and sagging eyebrows, the surgical incision is skillfully closed. Dr. Tarek Zahra is skilled at placing the incisions in completely hidden areas, leaving no visible scars, achieving a naturally enhanced appearance.
Brow lift recovery:
Recovery from a brow lift takes about two weeks. Patients can usually resume daily activities within 10 to 14 days, or as directed by the surgeon. Many people experience bruising and swelling around the eyes and forehead, which is normal and subsides within two weeks.
People who undergo brow lift surgery with Dr. Tarek Zahra usually experience a smooth recovery period, thanks to his experience and skill in providing appropriate instructions for each case. Some of these instructions include:
• Keep your head elevated for about two days after the procedure to reduce swelling.
• Use sunscreen when exposed to direct sunlight.
• Avoid sleeping on your face until cleared by your surgeon.
• Avoid strenuous activities and sports during the recovery period.
The difference between eyebrow lifts with Botox and surgery:
Brow lift surgery isn't always necessary, especially for minor brow asymmetries, young individuals, or those with a slight brow sagging that can be improved with Botox injections. For some individuals, the effects of Botox persist for a long time, lasting up to six months or more. This provides a non-surgical treatment until surgical intervention becomes necessary.
Surgery remains the preferred solution, especially in cases of marked asymmetry between the eyebrows, where the two sides can be balanced with surgery rather than Botox. However, if the eyebrows are symmetrical but slightly sagging, Botox may be a suitable solution; otherwise, surgery remains the preferred option.
Results of eyebrow lift surgery with Dr. Tarek Zahra:

This surgery not only enhances the eyebrows but also improves the entire face, achieving balance and symmetry that match the facial expressions and features.
