Refreshing the upper face with natural elevation and smoother contours
A brow lift is one of the most effective procedures for rejuvenating the upper face. With age, the eyebrows tend to descend, the forehead becomes heavier, and the eyes may appear tired even when you feel awake and energetic. A brow lift gently elevates the brows, softens forehead lines and restores a more open, youthful expression.
At the practice of Dr. Matteo Vigo, this procedure is approached with precision and an artistic understanding of facial harmony. The goal is not to create a surprised or over elevated look, but to achieve a natural lift that brightens the eyes and enhances the overall balance of the face.
What a brow lift improves
A brow lift targets the visible signs of ageing in the upper third of the face. Patients often seek this procedure to correct:
- Low or sagging eyebrows
- Heavy upper lids caused by brow descent
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows
- A tired or sad appearance
By lifting and repositioning the brows, the eyes appear more open and expressive. The forehead also looks smoother and more relaxed.
Different brow lift techniques
Dr. Vigo offers several methods to address different levels of laxity and different aesthetic goals. After assessing your facial structure, he will recommend the approach that suits you best.
Endoscopic brow lift
This modern technique uses small incisions hidden within the hairline. A camera assisted system allows precise repositioning of the brow tissues. This method is suitable for patients who want subtle elevation with minimal scarring and a shorter recovery period.
Lateral brow lift
This focuses on lifting the outer portion of the brow, an area that commonly droops with age. It creates a fresher look around the outer eye and improves hooding. It is ideal for patients who do not need a full forehead lift.
Temporal lift
A soft and gentle approach that targets the temple area. It is often used for early signs of brow descent and for patients who want a natural and modest enhancement.
Traditional brow lift
In some cases, a classic approach may be recommended for more significant laxity. This method provides the strongest lift and smooths deeper forehead creases.
Dr. Vigo selects each technique based on anatomy, skin quality and the result the patient wants to achieve.
What to expect during the procedure
A brow lift is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or under general anaesthesia depending on the technique chosen. The procedure aims to reposition the brow tissues, smooth the forehead and create a more youthful lift.
Incisions are placed in discreet areas such as within the hairline or natural creases to maintain a natural appearance. Once the tissues are adjusted, fine sutures are used to support the new brow position.
Recovery and results
Most patients experience mild swelling or a sensation of tightness for a few days. These effects gradually fade.
You can expect:
- A more open and refreshed eye area
- Smoother forehead skin
- A lifted yet natural brow shape
- Brighter and more youthful facial expression
The final results develop steadily as the tissues settle. Many patients find that their entire face looks more energised even with a subtle lift.
