What is a brow lift?
A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that repositions sagging brows to their natural position and smooths out forehead wrinkles and frown lines. With age, these changes can give the face a tired or tense appearance.
Dr. César López offers two main techniques based on each patient's needs: the traditional coronal brow lift, ideal for advanced skin laxity, and the endoscopic brow lift, a less invasive option with minimal scarring. Both approaches are designed to rejuvenate the upper face while preserving natural facial expression.
The procedure lasts approximately 1 hour, is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and does not require hospitalization. Initial recovery takes about 7 to 10 days, and final results are visible within 3 months.
Requirements: Lab tests and cardiac evaluation for patients over 50.
Postoperative care: Avoid physical strain for 2 weeks, consider LED therapy, and protect the treated area from sun exposure.
You can be a good candidate if
- Glabellar grooves are marked or have horizontal lines on the forehead
- You have a field surrounding your compressed eye or hooded upper eyelids
- You have stable overall health and realistic expectations
- The elasticity of the skin is suitable to cover it again without overcorrection
This procedure is not recommended if
- You have uncontrolled health problems (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes)
- You smoke and can't stop smoking during recovery
- You expect “perfect” or dramatically altered results
- You recently had facial surgery in the same area
Benefits of an eyebrow lift
Undergoing plastic surgery with Dr. César López means more than simply refining a feature: it's about restoring balance, regaining confidence, and achieving results that feel as good as they look. Each procedure is designed not only to improve specific areas of the face or body, but also to improve overall harmony, comfort and well-being.
Structural repositioning of the eyebrows
Instead of simply pulling the skin upwards, the procedure redefines soft tissue tension vectors and repositions the brow complex in an anatomically more favorable location.
Harmonization of the upper facial thirds
By adjusting the eyebrows and forehead, brow lift improves the proportional relationship between the forehead, the eyes and the middle part of the face, key to a visually balanced face.
Relaxation of hyperactive muscle groups
The strategic release or modification of the forehead and glabellar muscles helps reduce excessive movement and smoothes deep expression lines without affecting natural dynamics.
Natural visual elevation of the periorbital region
The repositioned eyebrow relieves the heaviness of the upper eyelids, making the eyes appear more open and defined, without the need for exaggerated arches or fixed expressions.
The process and recovery
Both surgical and recovery processes follow a safe line, personally guided by Dr. López.
01
Personalized planning
The browlift is performed in a certified operating room at a hospital with local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure.
02
Surgical procedure
The brow lift is usually done under sedation or general anesthesia. Depending on the approach, the procedure lasts 1.5 to 3 hours and is carried out in an operating room of a fully certified hospital.
03
Early recovery
Patients are discharged once both Dr. López and the anesthesiology team are discharged.
04
Follow-up care
Patients return to their home or hotel within 24 hours. Initial swelling and discomfort are expected to be minimal. Analgesia and cold compresses are prescribed. The sutures are removed after 7 days (or dissolve if they are internal).
05
Final results
The final results are stabilized; scars fade and facial contours take on their natural shape.

Do you have any questions?
We're here to help. Send us your questions and our team will answer clearly and carefully. Your comfort, safety and peace of mind are important to us.
Is the result of the brow lift permanent?
Results typically last 7 to 10 years. While natural tissue aging continues, it does so from a much-improved baseline. The structure is restored—not frozen—allowing for a more graceful aging process.
Can a brow lift change my expression?
It should refine, not change, your expression. When properly executed, it removes signs of tension and fatigue, not your identity.
Is the endoscopic approach better than the traditional one?
Not necessarily. Endoscopic lifts offer a faster recovery, but their lifting potential is limited. The best method depends on your anatomy and your goals.
Can it be combined with other facial surgeries?
Yes, and often it should be. Facial aging is on several levels. Dr. López often combines brow lifts with blepharoplasty, facelifting, or periorbital contouring.
