A brow lift, or eyebrow lift, is an outpatient procedure designed to reposition the eyebrows when they have dropped over time or give the eyes a tired or sad look.
It consists of gently raising the position of the eyebrow to open up the expression, improve the harmony of the upper third of the face and achieve a more rested, natural appearance. As it is an outpatient procedure, you can return home the same day, which makes for a more comfortable recovery in your own surroundings.
Types of brow lift
It is performed through small incisions in the scalp. It lifts the brow naturally, with scars that are barely visible. It is the one we perform most often at Instituto de Benito and it is an outpatient procedure
It is done through a small incision near the eyebrow and is used when a more localized or precise lift is needed.
It mainly lifts the outer part of the eyebrow, helping to open up the eyes and improve the expression without changing the center of the face too much.
The surgery is planned individually after analyzing your facial anatomy and the ideal position of the eyebrows for your features. There are different surgical techniques, such as the endoscopic lift or the forehead lift, which make it possible to gently raise the eyebrows, soften forehead wrinkles and open up the eyes while keeping a natural result.
Your consultation will be held directly with the surgeon who will perform your procedure, who will assess your case and determine the most suitable technique. A payment of €80 is required in advance to book the appointment. If you cannot travel, the first visit can also be done by video call with the surgeon who would operate on you: it costs €50, which is deducted if you decide to have surgery.
Before the procedure, thorough and fully personalized planning is carried out, your medical tests are reviewed and you receive all the instructions needed for the surgery to take place under optimal conditions.
During surgery, the tissues are adjusted to return the eyebrow to a more harmonious position, respecting your features and avoiding artificial changes to your facial expression. The procedure is carried out under controlled medical conditions and with continuous monitoring to ensure patient safety.
In Barcelona we apply the Synapta® protocol to make the post-op period more manageable.
Throughout the process, you are supported by our medical team, with regular check-ups to ensure you are progressing correctly and achieve an optimal result.
Open up the eyes, soften the expression and improve the balance of the face.
As a guide, the result of a brow lift lasts between 5 and 8 years. It is an average: in each patient it may be more or less.
How long it lasts does not depend on the technique used. What makes the difference is the quality of the skin and tissues, genetics and how each person heals.
Natural aging continues, so over the years a little maintenance may be advisable.
The guide price for a brow lift at Instituto de Benito starts from €4,000 and may vary depending on a number of clinical factors that determine the final cost of the procedure.
As specialists in facial surgery, at Instituto de Benito we plan every procedure to high standards of quality, safety and surgical precision. The final cost depends on the technique used, the patient's anatomy, the degree of lift needed and the surgical time required.
The preoperative medical tests, the technology used and the full post-op follow-up also play a part, resulting in a fully personalized quote for each patient.
A brow lift is indicated for people whose eyebrows have dropped, giving the eyes a tired or sad look, and who want to regain a more open, natural expression while respecting their features.
It is especially indicated for:
For patients whose drooping brow makes the eyes look sad or fatigued even at rest.
When, over time, the eyebrow loses its natural position and affects the harmony of the face.
When the drooping brow contributes to a heavy-looking gaze.
Indicated for those who want natural rejuvenation while keeping their features.
from non-surgical treatments and are looking for a longer-lasting solution.
It is important to be in good health in order to undergo surgery safely and ensure an optimal recovery.

Too much lift leaves a permanently surprised expression, and correcting it is harder than avoiding it in the first place. That is why the amount of lift is measured before surgery and the approach is conservative: the goal is to open up the eyes, not to change the expression.
| Contraindication | Reason |
|---|---|
| Significant hair loss or a very high hairline | They determine where the scar can be placed and which technique is used; they are assessed case by case. |
| Active smoking | It compromises healing and the blood supply to the tissues. You are asked to stop four weeks before and four weeks after. |
| Uncontrolled systemic disease | Uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart or respiratory disease: these are stabilized before surgery. |
| Clotting disorders that have not been evaluated | These require prior assessment. Anticoagulants must not be stopped on your own initiative: the regimen is adjusted by the doctor who prescribes them. |
| Active infection, local or systemic | It is postponed until the infection has fully resolved. |
