The Browlift Procedure
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure optimal comfort. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, we may use a traditional, endoscopic, or lateral browlift technique, depending on your current condition. During the procedure, small incisions are placed behind the hairline or along the temples, allowing Dr. Maffi to lift the brow tissue. The muscles responsible for frown lines may also be adjusted to smooth your forehead. After your surgery, you will be monitored and released with your caregiver.
Recovery & Results for Browlift
Recovery from a browlift at Maffi Plastic Surgery is moderate for most patients. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first week, which can be managed with medication and cold compresses. Most patients feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous activities within seven to ten days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure that your results are progressing as expected.
As the swelling subsides, you will begin to notice your results. Your brows will appear naturally elevated, your eyes will look more open, and deep forehead lines will be softened. Results from a browlift can last for many years, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle and a consistent skincare regimen.

Contact UsWhat is a Browlift?
A browlift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the brow line and smooth out forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin around the eyes. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, browlifts are customized to each patient’s facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring your results feel like a refreshed version of you. Our experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Terri Maffi, uses advanced techniques to reposition the underlying brow tissues and muscles while minimizing incisions and scarring.
Ideal Candidates for a Browlift
You may be a good candidate for a browlift if you have drooping or heavy brows, deep forehead lines and frown lines, sagging skin that affects the upper eyelids, or want a more lifted upper face. The best way to determine your candidacy is by scheduling a consultation at Maffi Plastic Surgery. During your consultation, we will assess your facial features and skin texture to recommend the best approach for your needs and cosmetic goals.
