Understanding the Brow Lift Procedure
A brow lift, often referred to as a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct the visible signs of aging in the upper third of the face. As we age, gravity and skin laxity cause the eyebrows to descend, which can crowd the upper eyelids and create a tired, sad, or even angry expression.
Dr. Bapna performs this procedure to reposition the underlying muscles and tissues, elevating the brow to a more youthful position. The result is a smoother forehead and a more refreshed, approachable appearance that retains your natural character.
What Can Brow Lift Address
This procedure is specifically designed to target the structural issues that contribute to a heavy or aged upper face. It effectively addresses:
- Sagging Eyebrows: Lifts brows that have dropped into a low position, hooding the upper eyelids.
- Deep Forehead Lines: Smooths horizontal wrinkles across the forehead.
- Frown Lines: Softens the vertical furrows (the “11s”) that develop between the eyebrows.
- Vision Obstruction: Elevates skin that may be resting on the eyelashes, improving line of sight.
Is Brow Lift Right For Me?
The ideal candidate for a brow lift is physically healthy, a non-smoker, and seeking to correct a heavy or tired appearance in the upper face.You may be a good fit if:
- You have sagging eyebrows that create a heavy or hooded look over your eyes.
- You look perpetually tired or angry, even when you feel well-rested and happy.
- You are bothered by deep horizontal creases across your forehead or vertical furrows between your brows.
- You have difficulty applying eyeshadow or mascara due to excess skin crowding the upper lid.
- You are in good general health without medical conditions that would impair the healing process.

How Dr Bapna Performs
the Procedure
Dr. Bapna prioritizes minimally invasive techniques to ensure natural results and quicker recovery. He often utilizes the endoscopic brow lift, which uses a tiny camera and small incisions hidden within the hairline. This method allows for precise muscle adjustment without the extensive scarring of traditional techniques, ensuring your experience in Columbus is as comfortable as possible.
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Bapna. He will evaluate your bone structure, skin elasticity, and brow position. This is the time to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine if a standalone brow lift or a combination procedure serves you best.
Pre-Procedure Planning
Once you book your surgery, our team provides detailed instructions. This includes avoiding certain medications that increase bleeding, arranging for transportation, and preparing your home recovery area. We ensure you feel fully prepared and informed before the surgery date.
Day of Surgery
On the day of surgery, you will be administered anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Bapna will perform the agreed-upon technique (usually endoscopic) to release tissues and elevate the brow. The procedure generally takes 1 to 2 hours, and you will be monitored by our team until you are ready to return home.
Follow-up Appointments
Dr. Bapna stays with you through recovery. Follow-up visits are scheduled to remove sutures (generally within a week) and monitor healing. These appointments ensure your results are settling beautifully and allow us to answer any questions about your activity levels.

What to Expect During Your Recovery Journey
Recovery from a brow lift is typically well-tolerated. Patients generally experience mild swelling and bruising that peaks within the first three days. Sutures are removed around the one-week mark, at which point many feel ready to return to work and social interactions. While light movement is encouraged early, you should avoid strenuous exercise for three weeks to ensure your results heal beautifully. After one month, most swelling has subsided, allowing your final, refreshed look to fully emerge.
Important Safety and Risk Information
Every surgical procedure carries some degree of inherent risk; however, choosing a double board-certified surgeon like Dr. Bapna greatly mitigates these concerns. Potential risks may include:
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Infection or bleeding at the incision site.
- Temporary numbness, itching, or sensation changes in the scalp.
- Minor hair loss along the incision line.
Temporary asymmetry in brow position while swelling resolves.
