How long does a browlift last?

A browlift raises the skin and soft tissues of the forehead and brow. Like any cosmetic procedure, it will turn back the clock but it won’t stop the clock. You will continue to age.

And age-related changes of the face occur differently for different individuals. So, there’s no defined answer to this question. It really depends upon how the patient continues to age. Patients who age more rapidly may have a handful of years before they begin to notice brow dropping while patients that age more slowly may never notice recurrent drooping of their brows long-term.

The best way to maintain your surgical browlift results is to continue to get neurotoxin (Botox, Dysport) injections in the crows feet and glabella areas after a surgical browlift. The key here is recognizing that the while a surgical browlift is good at surgically placing the brow at an elevated position, the long term, repetitive, and continual down pull is happening as a result of the nearby muscles. The strength of this pull-down action can be softened with Botox, Dysport, etc., yielding a better long term result for an elevated brow position.
