Rating: 4.7 (150 reviews)

A heavy or drooping brow can make a face look tired or even upset, regardless of how someone actually feels.

Opening Up the Eyes and Refreshing Your Expression

A brow lift raises sagging brow tissue to restore a more alert, refreshed appearance to the upper face. At Nashville Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Don Griffin evaluates brow position in relation to the entire face, since the right amount of lift varies significantly from one patient to the next. Feel like your brow is giving off a tired or heavy expression? Schedule a consultation to explore your options.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, or forehead lift, repositions the brow and forehead tissue to a higher, more youthful position, softening horizontal forehead lines and vertical furrows between the eyebrows along the way. It's often chosen by patients whose heavy or low brow position makes them look tired, angry, or older than they feel. Because brow position affects how the entire upper face reads, even a modest lift can noticeably change someone's overall expression.

Meet Dr. Don Griffin

Your Nashville Facial Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Don Griffin is a dual board-certified plastic surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, with more than 30 years of experience in facial plastic surgery. His choice of plastic surgery as a specialty was driven in part by his appreciation for symmetry and balance, qualities that are especially important in a procedure as visible as a brow lift. Dr. Griffin's approach favors a natural, well-positioned brow rather than an overly raised or surprised appearance, keeping the result in proportion with the rest of the face.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

You may be a good candidate for a brow lift in Nashville if you feel your brow position makes you look tired, angry, or older than you feel, particularly if this is paired with noticeable forehead lines or furrows between the eyebrows. Some patients notice this concern earlier due to genetics, while others develop it gradually with age.

Good candidates are in good general health and don't smoke. During your consultation, Dr. Griffin will evaluate your brow position relative to your eyes and overall facial structure to recommend the most appropriate technique.

Types of Brow Lift

Different techniques address different degrees of brow position and forehead concern.

Endoscopic Brow Lift - A less invasive approach using small incisions, suited for patients with moderate concerns.
Temporal Brow Lift - Focuses on lifting the outer brow for a more subtle, targeted change.
Combined with Eyelid Surgery - Often paired with eyelid surgery when both the brow and upper eyelids contribute to a tired appearance.

What to Expect During Your Brow Lift

Brow lift surgery in Nashville is performed at our private, accredited surgical center, with surgical time generally ranging from one to two hours, depending on the technique used.

Dr. Griffin repositions the brow and forehead tissue through small, carefully placed incisions, typically hidden within the hairline. He'll discuss which specific technique is right for your anatomy during your consultation, along with realistic expectations for incision placement and scarring. Most patients return home the same day with clear recovery instructions and direct access to our clinical team.

Recovery and Results Following a Brow Lift

Most patients take about one to two weeks off work, with swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes gradually improving during that time. Numbness or tightness along the scalp is common initially and typically resolves over the following weeks. Final results continue to settle over the following months as swelling fully resolves. Our team checks in with you regularly throughout recovery to monitor healing and address any concerns.

Why Choose Nashville Cosmetic Surgery?

A successful brow lift depends on precision and restraint, and Dr. Griffin's decades of facial surgery experience reflect exactly that balance. Our private surgical center and concierge-style care mean your results are planned around your unique facial proportions, never a one-size-fits-all lift.

Brow Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will a brow lift make me look surprised?

Not when performed with careful attention to proportion. Dr. Griffin's approach focuses on a natural brow position rather than an overly raised, surprised appearance.

How long do brow lift results typically last?

Results are long-lasting, often five to ten years or more, though the natural aging process continues over time.

Can a brow lift be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes. A brow lift is frequently combined with eyelid surgery or a facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Will a brow lift affect my hairline?

Incisions are typically placed within the hairline to remain hidden, and the technique is chosen carefully to avoid noticeably altering hairline position.

Is a brow lift very painful?

Most patients experience tightness and mild discomfort rather than significant pain, which improves steadily over the first couple of weeks.
