Brow Lift

Elevate and Rejuvenate Your Expression

Dr. Dirk Kremer offers advanced brow lift techniques in London, tailored to your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals, to achieve natural-looking, elegant rejuvenation.

What is brow lift ?

A brow lift repositions the brows to a more youthful height and softens deep forehead creases, frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and furrows across the bridge of the nose. It can significantly enhance the overall harmony of the face, particularly in combination with procedures such as a facelift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

Depending on your needs and anatomy, Dr. Kremer may recommend one of several approaches to brow lifting — from full forehead rejuvenation to targeted lifting of just the outer brow area.

Full Forehead Lift vs. Lateral Brow Lift

There are two primary types of brow lift procedures, each addressing different concerns:

Full Forehead Lift

A full forehead lift (also known as a classic brow lift) elevates the entire forehead and brow area. It is ideal for patients with significant drooping across the full length of the brow, deep horizontal forehead lines, or strong frown lines between the eyebrows.

Long Incision Approach: In a traditional full forehead lift, a long incision is made either at or just behind the hairline, allowing the forehead skin to be lifted, repositioned, and any excess skin removed. This approach provides maximum control over brow position and forehead smoothing but does involve a longer scar, carefully placed within the hair-bearing scalp to be discreet.
In modern forehead lifts, an endoscopic brow lift technique can often be used. This involves several small incisions hidden in the hairline. Through these, a small camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments are inserted to lift and reposition the forehead tissues. This technique results in minimal scarring, faster recovery, and less numbness compared to the long incision method, but it is best suited for patients with a normal or low hairline. Patients with a high hairline are generally not ideal candidates for the endoscopic approach, as it may further elevate the hairline.

Lateral (Temporal) Brow Lift

A lateral brow lift, sometimes called a temporal lift, focuses specifically on elevating the outer part of the brows — the area most prone to sagging with age. This technique beautifully opens the eyes, reduces hooding of the upper eyelids, and creates a subtle, natural lift for a refreshed appearance without altering the central brow or forehead.

Typically, a small incision is made within the hairline at the temples, allowing the outer brow to be lifted gently.
A lateral brow lift can be performed on its own or combined with other facial
procedures for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Which Technique Is Right for You?

The choice between a full forehead lift, lateral brow lift, long incision, or endoscopic technique depends on your facial anatomy, the extent of brow descent, your hairline position, skin quality, and personal aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Kremer will carefully evaluate your facial features and recommend the most suitable approach to achieve a natural and harmonious result.

Patients with high hairlines often benefit from a traditional open approach with an incision placed at the hairline (a trichophytic incision), allowing the forehead to be lifted without raising the hairline further. In contrast, the endoscopic brow lift is an excellent choice for individuals with a normal or low hairline, offering minimal scarring and a quicker recovery.

Those with significant brow drooping or very deep forehead lines may also achieve better outcomes with the traditional open method.

What to Expect During Recovery

Swelling and Bruising

Typically peaks within the first few days and subsides over 1–2 weeks.

Stitches or Staples

Removed around 7–10 days after surgery, depending on the technique.

Activity

Most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume more vigorous exercise after 3–4 weeks.

Final Results

As swelling resolves, your rejuvenated brow position and smoother forehead appearance will gradually become more visible, typically reaching full results within 2–3 months.

Thanks to Dr. Kremer’s meticulous techniques, most patients find that their scars are discreetly hidden within the hairline and fade significantly over time.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

The ideal candidates for a tummy tuck in London or anywhere in the UK are generally healthy individuals who have excess skin or fat around the abdomen, often due to significant weight loss or pregnancy. It’s also suitable for people who have weakened abdominal muscles that cannot be tightened with diet and exercise alone. If you’re a smoker or have certain medical conditions, you may need to address those before undergoing surgery.

What is the recovery time after a tummy tuck?

Recovery time after a tummy tuck UK can vary, but most patients can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks and resume more strenuous exercise after about 6-8 weeks. Swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and you’ll be required to wear compression garments to help support your healing.

Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?

A tummy tuck London can improve the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located on the lower abdomen. However, stretch marks outside the area that is removed may remain. In some cases, additional treatments can help address stretch marks.

Does a tummy tuck leave a scar?

Yes, a tummy tuck UK does leave a scar. The length and placement of the scar will depend on the type of tummy tuck performed. The scar typically runs along the lower abdomen, hidden by most underwear or bikini bottoms. Over time, the scar fades but may never disappear completely.

Will a tummy tuck help with loose skin after weight loss?

Yes, one of the main benefits of a tummy tuck is its ability to address excess skin after weight loss. The procedure tightens and flattens the abdominal area, improving both the skin’s appearance and the underlying muscle tone.

Can I get pregnant after a tummy tuck?

While pregnancy after a tummy tuck London is possible, it can affect the results of your surgery, as the abdominal muscles may stretch again. If you’re planning on having children, it might be best to wait until you’re done with your family before undergoing the procedure.

How long will the results of my tummy tuck last?

The results of your abdominoplasty UK can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. However, factors like aging, weight fluctuations, and future pregnancies can impact the appearance of your abdomen.

Is tummy tuck surgery painful?

Like all surgeries, a tummy tuck UK involves some discomfort, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients report that the pain is manageable, especially after the first few days post-surgery.
