Before & After Brow Lifts Performed by Dr. Givens
What causes eyebrow sagging?
Eyebrow sagging is typically caused by a combination of factors, including aging, genetics, and muscle/skin laxity. Over time, the muscles and tissue around the brows can weaken, leading to a drooping or 'hooded' appearance.
How can I fix sagging eyebrows?
Eyebrow lifting surgery, also known as brow lift or forehead lift, is a common surgical procedure to address sagging brows. This involves tightening the muscles and tissues around the brows to restore a more youthful, alert appearance.
What is the best eyebrow lift procedure?
The best eyebrow lift procedure depends on your specific concerns and desired results. Surgical options include contouring the eyebrows for a more naturally lifted appearance. Some brow lift techniques even include hairline lowering or advancement for those with wide or tall foreheads.
How long does an eyebrow lift last?
The results of an eyebrow lift can last for several years or decades depending on the individual's aging process and skin elasticity. However, the effects may gradually diminish over time as the natural aging process continues.
How much does an eyebrow lift cost?

Can Botox help with sagging eyebrows?
While Botox injections can temporarily improve the appearance of sagging eyebrows by relaxing the muscles that pull the brows down, the results are temporary and last only 3-4 months. Surgical brow lift procedures provide a more long-lasting solution for significant eyebrow ptosis.
What is the difference between a brow lift and a forehead lift?
