Brow lift is often a non-surgical procedure achieved with injections. However, there are several surgical methods to elevate the eyebrows to a youthful, attractive position.
Non-Surgical Brow Lift
The cosmetic world has explored new techniques in past decades now there are many options than ever when it comes to creating the appearance of an eyebrow or eyelid lift, while there are still surgical options available at Delight Clinic.
Dermal fillers: Drooping eyebrows, creases in the forehead, and lines around the eyes contribute to the signs of aging. Injectable dermal fillers are a very effective non-surgical means of facial rejuvenation. Indeed, dermal fillers are often known as a liquid facelift, or liquid browlift. Dermal fillers may also be injected into the forehead skin, carefully massaged and evenly placed, to lift the forehead. The effects of dermal fillers last from 3 to 5 months.
Neurotoxin: Neurotoxin Injections are a simple and effective way to have a non-surgical brow lift. Neurotoxin is another nonsurgical injectable treatment to smooth wrinkles in the forehead and round the eyes. It will remove forehead lines, raise sagging eyebrows and reduce the appearance of upper eyelid hooding. It corrects wrinkles which are formed by years of muscle contractions, such as laugh lines and crow’s feet. Over time, this often-repeated contracting creates permanent lines. Botox remains effective from 6-8 months. As muscles recover over time, new wrinkles and lines may appear.
Thread Lift Procedure: Over time, factors such as our lifestyle, environment, and even genetic makeup contribute to the development of various signs of aging on the brow and forehead. Thread lift procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to browlift surgery. At Delight Clinics the entire browlift procedure by thread, takes 30 to 40 minutes. There is minimal bruising and swelling. Recovery depends on the extent of the treatment. Patients cannot exercise for 48 hours post-procedure, but other than that, they can return to normal activities and skin care regimens.
Microblading : Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique used to create the illusion of fuller brows. With this method I can create almost any look:
- from a very natural light finish to a beautifully bold brow.
- It is all about creating the best shape for each face – a totally bespoke approach for each client.
- You’ll need to follow the aftercare instructions (see below) and avoid any picking or scratching.
- Your eyebrows will start to heal over, much like a tattoo, which might cause irritation but is totally normal.
- You’ll need a touch-up in about a month (the cost of this is typically budgeted into the fee of the initial service).

Eyebrow Shaping / Lifting – Frequently Asked Question
What is eyebrow shaping/lifting?
Eyebrow shaping/lifting refers to procedures or techniques that are designed to improve the appearance and position of the eyebrows. It involves reshaping, repositioning, and enhancing the eyebrows to achieve a more defined, youthful, and aesthetically pleasing look.
How long does each procedure take?
The duration of each procedure depends on the specific technique used and the individual case. Botox brow lift injections can typically be completed in a short office visit, usually within 15-30 minutes. Surgical brow lift procedures usually take one to two hours, and the duration may vary depending on the complexity of the case. Thread lift procedures can generally be completed in about 30-60 minutes.
Is eyebrow shaping/lifting painful?
Eyebrow shaping and lifting procedures are typically well-tolerated. Botox brow lift injections involve minimal discomfort and do not require anesthesia. Surgical brow lift procedures are performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure your comfort.

How long do the results of eyebrow shaping/lifting last?
The duration of results depends on the specific procedure. Results from Botox brow lift injections usually last around 3-4 months, after which the effects gradually diminish.

It’s important to discuss the potential risks and complications with your plastic surgeon before undergoing any procedure.
