Can a brow lift or forehead lift also lift your facial skin?

Thank you for your question. In general, a brow lift is intended to lift the forehead skin and elevate your brows. Depending on how extensive the surgery, there can be minimal lifting in regions of the face adjacent to the forehead. If you want to lift your cheeks or facial skin, then a midfacelift or facelift would be more appropriate. Good luck!

This is a common question as people like to lift their face to simulate what a procedure might do for them. Unfortunately, a brow procedure will not lift any portion of the middle or lower face without additional surgery. However, if you have drooping eyebrows or a loss of brow arch a browlift can create beautiful results. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Typically, a browlift has impact on the appearance of the eyes by improving ptosis(falling) of the brow. In some individuals there is also improvement in the midface as the lateral brow is lifted but a true facelift is necessary if there are jowls or serious cheek issues. What you can accomplish with your hands by pulling on the skin of your face is usually more than a surgery can accomplish (if it could only be that simple!).
