Treatment Overview
A Lateral Brow Lift, also called a temporal brow lift, is a specialized cosmetic procedure that focuses on lifting the outer portion of the eyebrows. This surgery helps correct drooping at the brow’s edges, smooths out crow’s feet, and creates a more refreshed, youthful eye area. In Korea, the lateral brow lift is popular for achieving a natural, feminine, and lifted look with advanced minimally invasive techniques.
Purpose & Benefits
- Elevates the outer brows to reduce sagging
- Improves eye openness and reduces a tired look
- Smooths out fine lines and crow’s feet around the eyes
- Enhances eye shape, creating a brighter, more youthful gaze
- Natural-looking results with smaller incisions than a full brow lift
- Can be combined with eyelid or facelift procedures for overall rejuvenation
Ideal Candidates
- Individuals with outer brow drooping more than central brow sagging
- Patients with crow’s feet or wrinkles around the outer eyes
- Adults who want a subtle, natural lift without dramatic change
- Those not ready for a full forehead lift but still want improvement
- People seeking a shorter recovery and minimally invasive option
Possible Risks & Complications
Though safe in expert hands, some risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising near the temples or eyes
- Mild numbness or tightness in the forehead area
- Minor asymmetry in brow height (rare with skilled surgeons)
- Infection or scarring (uncommon)
- Results may be subtle compared to full brow lifts
Surgical Techniques Used

- Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks
- Temporary tightness or numbness in the temples may occur
