Treatment Overview
A Mid-Forehead Brow Lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to lift sagging eyebrows and smooth forehead wrinkles using incisions placed within the natural creases of the forehead. This technique is particularly effective for patients with deep forehead lines where scars can be hidden. In Korea, surgeons use refined methods and advanced scar-concealment techniques to ensure natural, youthful results with minimal visibility of incisions.
Purpose & Benefits
- Elevates sagging eyebrows to restore a refreshed look
- Reduces forehead wrinkles and horizontal lines
- Creates a more open and youthful eye appearance
- Improves vision if sagging brows obstruct the upper eyelids
- Scars can be hidden in natural forehead creases
- Provides long-lasting and natural rejuvenation
Ideal Candidates
- Patients with deep forehead wrinkles suitable for scar concealment
- Individuals with drooping eyebrows, especially in the central forehead
- Middle-aged and older patients seeking natural rejuvenation
- Those whose brow sagging affects vision or eye openness
- People wanting a long-lasting lift with visible improvement
Possible Risks & Complications
Though generally safe, potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness in the forehead
- Mild asymmetry of brows (rare with skilled surgeons)
- Visible scarring if forehead creases are shallow
- Infection or delayed healing (uncommon)
- Risk of over- or under-correction of brow position
Surgical Techniques Used

- Avoid heavy exercise or forehead strain for 2–3 weeks
- Numbness or tightness may occur temporarily but improves over time
- Scars fade gradually and blend with forehead lines
Results & Longevity
- Provides a natural, refreshed appearance
- Smooths forehead wrinkles and lifts brows effectively
