What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that repositions the eyebrows and smooths the forehead for a more refreshed and alert appearance. Over time, the brow can begin to descend, creating heaviness above the eyes and a tired or stern look.
Dr Parviz Sadigh offers both traditional and minimally invasive brow lift techniques in Dubai, carefully choosing the method based on your facial anatomy and goals. The result is a more open upper face, improved brow symmetry, and a smoother, more youthful expression.
How It Works
Consultation & Planning
Every brow lift begins with a detailed consultation. Dr Sadigh will assess your brow position, forehead movement, skin quality, and facial harmony to determine whether a brow lift is the right approach and which technique suits you best – traditional, endoscopic, or lateral temporal lift.
Surgical Techniques
Depending on your anatomy and goals, Dr Sadigh may use a small incision hidden behind the hairline or at the temples. Endoscopic methods use tiny cameras and instruments, resulting in minimal scarring and quicker healing. The brow is carefully lifted and secured in a natural, elevated position.
Recovery Timeline
Most patients return to light activities within a few days. Swelling and mild bruising subside within 1–2 weeks. Final results become more visible as healing progresses over several months.
Long-Term Results
A brow lift offers long-lasting improvement to brow position and forehead lines. While ageing continues, most patients enjoy a more youthful and approachable look for many years.

Notice sagging or hooding of the upper brow
Feel your brow makes you look tired, angry, or older
Want to reduce horizontal forehead lines or frown lines
Have lost brow symmetry due to ageing

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a brow lift work?
A brow lift involves repositioning the soft tissue and skin of the forehead to raise the brows and reduce wrinkles. Dr Parviz Sadigh uses precise techniques – often endoscopic – to lift the brow without altering your natural facial expression, ensuring a refreshed and balanced look.
What does the procedure involve?
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. Small incisions are made either behind the hairline or at the temples, depending on the chosen technique. Using specialised tools, the underlying brow tissue is lifted and secured in place. The incisions are then closed discreetly.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is usually minimal and well-controlled with medication. Patients may experience mild tightness or pressure around the forehead for a few days, but most report a comfortable recovery.
How long do the results last?
Brow lift results are long-lasting, often 10 years or more. While ageing continues, the repositioned brow typically remains more elevated and refreshed than before surgery.
What are the risks?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as bruising, swelling, numbness, asymmetry, and rare complications like infection or hairline changes. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr Sadigh reduces these risks significantly.
What’s the recovery period like?
Initial recovery takes around 7–10 days, with most patients returning to work and social activities after one week. Full healing and final results develop over the following few months.
Which surgeon will perform the procedure?
All brow lift procedures are performed by Dr Parviz Sadigh, a UK board-certified plastic surgeon with advanced training in facial surgery and aesthetics. He consults with patients personally and plans each procedure to match their unique features and goals.
