All Three Techniques, and the Alternative
1,100+ brow lifts and 1,400+ eyelid procedures in one building. Either diagnosis leads to an operation we perform.
Istanbul, Turkey — Board-Certified, A Planned Elevation
Repositioning a Heavy Brow — and Telling You When It Is Really Your Eyelids.
A brow lift raises the eyebrow and the forehead tissue behind it. A hooded upper lid is sometimes a brow problem, and operating on the lid alone then makes it worse.
Natural Clinic has treated more than 100,000 patients from over 80 countries, and its facial surgery team performs all three brow lift techniques as well as eyelid surgery — which is what makes an honest brow-versus-eyelid answer possible, since either recommendation is a procedure we do. Accredited theatres and a dedicated anaesthesiology department sit in the same building.

A brow lift repositions the eyebrow and the forehead tissue behind it. A hooded upper lid is sometimes a brow sitting low rather than lid skin in excess, and operating on the lid alone then makes it worse. One examination settles which structure you are actually looking at.

From €2,300, a planned elevation
The brow and the forehead tissue behind it are released and lifted, usually through small camera-guided incisions inside the hairline. The elevation is chosen for your proportions and written down before theatre rather than taken as far as the technique allows, because overcorrection is what produces a permanently startled face.
A brow that sits low, with the heaviness clearing when the tail of the eyebrow is lifted a few millimetres by hand.
One night in hospital, six nights in Istanbul. Most bruising clears in one to two weeks; scalp sensation returns over two to four months.
Short answer: yes — and what to verify is the diagnosis. Ask whether the clinic also performs eyelid surgery, because one that only lifts brows will find you a brow problem.

The brow is lifted by hand to see whether the heaviness clears. That one test settles the structure.

When the brow has dropped, eyelid surgery alone won't fix heaviness. This journey starts by proving which is which.
Raising the brow by hand shows whether it — rather than the eyelid — is causing the heaviness.
Incisions are placed in the hairline or near the temples, depending on your forehead height.
Working through incisions hidden in the hairline, the surgeon releases the forehead and fixes it at the height agreed in consultation; you sleep throughout.
Early swelling may drift toward the eyes; scalp numbness improves over the following months.
When a low brow is the real cause of heavy-looking eyes, a brow lift is the answer.
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, raises low or heavy eyebrows to a more natural position and can smooth horizontal forehead lines and frown lines between the brows. By lifting the brow, it can also reduce the heaviness that pushes skin down onto the upper eyelids.
Gently lift your eyebrows with your fingers while looking in a mirror. If the heaviness over your eyes improves significantly, a drooping brow may be the main cause and a brow lift may be appropriate. If loose eyelid skin remains, upper blepharoplasty may also be needed.
A brow lift can soften horizontal forehead lines and frown lines by repositioning the brow and, in some techniques, modifying the muscles that create these lines. It does not replace skin treatments for fine surface wrinkles, but it can reduce deeper creases linked to a heavy brow.
If the examination points at your eyelids rather than your brow, the first link below is the page you actually want. The rest are the procedures that most often sit in the same session as a brow lift.
Personalised Care, Just for You
Send front and three-quarter photographs with your eyes relaxed, plus one with your brows raised. A facial surgeon reviews your case and replies with a realistic, itemised plan — whether the brow, the eyelid skin or both are responsible, which technique fits and how much elevation is planned, what it costs with free transfers and the hotel arranged, and how many nights you'll be in Istanbul. No obligation, no pressure, no cost.
