Service page: Eyebrow Lift — duration, anesthesia, recovery, and price range.

Eyebrows do more work in facial expression than most people realize. As the skin above the eyes and along the temples loses elasticity over the years, the brows gradually drift downward — leaving the eyes looking tired, stern, or even sad, regardless of how the person actually feels. A brow lift is designed to close exactly that gap between appearance and emotion.


It's a good fit for anyone noticing brow ptosis, horizontal forehead lines, or a shrinking distance between the brow and the eyelid, who wants a more open, rested look without changing the overall structure of the face. It's also a procedure that has been steadily growing in popularity among both men and women in Tehran.


Brow Lift Techniques

The right approach depends on the degree of sagging, forehead structure, and the patient's goals. During a consultation with Dr. Parsa Cheraghipour, one of three approaches is usually recommended:


Endoscopic brow lift

uses a few small incisions along the hairline. Through a tiny camera, the underlying muscles and tissue are gently repositioned and secured. Because the incisions are so small, scarring is virtually invisible and recovery is relatively quick.


Thread lift (temporal lift)

is a less invasive option that uses dissolvable threads to lift and temporarily anchor the brow. Results look natural and appear quickly, though they last less long than surgical options and are best suited to mild-to-moderate sagging.


Classic surgical brow lift (coronal or direct brow lift)

is used for more significant sagging or excess forehead skin. The incision is larger, but it offers the most precise control over the final brow shape and forehead line, with the longest-lasting results.


Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is generally suitable for people who notice one or more of the following:


  • Brow sagging that creates an angry, tired, or sad appearance
  • A shrinking distance between the brow and the eyelashes
  • Vertical frown lines between the brows that remain visible even at rest
  • Upper eyelid heaviness that could be partly corrected by raising the brow

The typical age range is from the mid-thirties to the early sixties, though the degree of tissue laxity and the patient's goals matter more than age alone. For patients in the earlier stages of sagging, a brow lift is sometimes combined with Botox in the forehead area for a more natural, longer-lasting result. A thorough consultation is the only reliable way to determine which technique — or combination of techniques — fits a particular face.


Brow Lift Cost in Tehran (1404 / 2025–2026)

Brow lift cost in Tehran depends on several factors: the chosen technique (endoscopic, thread, or classic surgical), the complexity of the case, the type of anesthesia, and the surgeon's experience. A single fixed price for every patient simply wouldn't be accurate.


In general, less invasive options such as a thread lift sit at the lower end of the price range, while endoscopic and classic surgical brow lifts — which require an operating room, an anesthesia team, and more surgical time — fall into a higher range, roughly from tens of millions of tomans up to around one hundred and fifty million tomans. A brow lift is also frequently combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as blepharoplasty or a full facelift, which affects the final cost.


The most reliable way to get an accurate estimate is an in-person consultation, where the forehead and brow structure are evaluated and the appropriate technique and price for a brow lift in Tehran are discussed transparently. The exact price is determined during the consultation.


Recovery Period

Recovery time depends on the technique. With a thread lift, most patients return to daily activities the same day or the next; mild swelling and localized bruising usually resolve within a few days.


With an endoscopic brow lift, swelling and bruising are more noticeable, and it typically takes one to two weeks before the patient feels comfortable in social settings, although light activity can resume sooner. Small sutures or clips are usually removed after one to two weeks.


A classic surgical brow lift requires a longer recovery — generally two to three weeks for the initial swelling to subside, and several months for the final result to fully settle. Across all techniques, avoiding strenuous activity, pressure on the forehead, and prolonged sun exposure is recommended during the first few weeks.


Brow Lift vs. Forehead Lift: What's the Difference?

Brow lift and forehead lift are often confused, but the main difference lies in the target area and the extent of the procedure. A brow lift focuses mainly on the position and arch of the eyebrow, while a forehead lift addresses a broader area of the forehead and sometimes the hairline as well. For many patients, the choice between the two — or a combination of both — depends on facial structure and the degree of tissue laxity, a topic covered in detail in our Forehead Lift in Tehran guide.


If your eyes have been giving off a tired or overly serious impression that doesn't match how you actually feel, it may be worth exploring a brow lift. Dr. Parsa Cheraghipour and the Facelift360 team carefully evaluate your facial structure to recommend the technique best suited to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a brow lift?

A brow lift is a surgical or non-surgical procedure that raises and repositions the eyebrows, correcting sagging skin and tissue around the eyes and forehead to create a more open, youthful appearance.

How much does a brow lift cost in Tehran in 1405?

Brow lift cost in Tehran is not a single fixed price. Based on the ranges in this guide (1405): thread lift roughly 6–16M tomans, endoscopic 20–40M, classic surgical 35–55M. Combining with blepharoplasty or facelift can increase cost. Exact pricing is set at in-person consultation.

Is a brow lift painful?

During surgery you are under anesthesia and should not feel pain. Early recovery may include tightness, mild pressure, or temporary numbness around the brow and forehead, usually manageable with prescribed medication.

How visible is brow lift scarring?

Endoscopic lifts use small hairline incisions with usually minimal visible scarring. Thread lifts may leave small entry points that fade over time. Classic coronal or direct lifts involve larger incisions; scar visibility varies by technique and individual healing.

Brow lift or Botox — which is better?

Botox suits dynamic forehead lines and mild early changes with temporary results. Brow lift is the more durable option for structural brow sagging, deep lines at rest, or a shortened brow-to-lid distance. Early cases may combine both after consultation.

What's the difference between a brow lift and blepharoplasty?

A brow lift raises brow position and corrects tissue descent around the brow and forehead. Blepharoplasty addresses excess skin, fat, or muscle in the eyelids. If lid heaviness is partly from brow descent, a brow lift may help; if the eyelid itself is the issue, blepharoplasty is needed. Both are often planned together.

What's the difference between a brow lift and a temple lift?

A temple lift focuses on the outer third of the brow and lateral eye area with a smaller incision and shorter recovery. A full brow lift addresses the entire forehead and both brows. Your surgeon recommends the approach based on where sagging is most pronounced.

Is a brow lift suitable for men?

Yes — men with brow ptosis or a tired upper-eye appearance may be candidates. Preserving a natural, masculine brow shape and hairline is especially important. Your surgeon assesses anatomy and goals at consultation.

What is the best age for a brow lift?

There is no fixed ideal age; what matters is real brow and forehead ptosis and your goals. Many patients are in their mid-30s to early 60s, but earlier sagging or good health at other ages can also qualify.

Is a brow lift covered by insurance?

Most brow lifts are cosmetic and not covered by standard insurance in Iran. Rare functional cases affecting vision may be reviewed case by case. Confirm coverage directly with your insurer and surgeon.

How long does brow lift surgery take?

Duration depends on technique: thread lift typically 30–60 minutes, endoscopic about 60–120 minutes, and classic surgical about 90–180 minutes. Combined facial procedures may take longer.

When should I contact my surgeon after a brow lift?

Follow your surgeon's instructions. Seek urgent contact for high fever, heavy bleeding, sudden one-sided swelling, severe uncontrolled pain, purulent drainage, vision changes, or severe medication reactions.

Who should not get a brow lift?

Active infection, pregnancy, uncoordinated blood thinners, poorly controlled conditions affecting healing, smoking without a quit plan, and unrealistic expectations often require delay or another approach. Your surgeon assesses this in person.

How long do brow lift results last? Is it permanent?

Results are not permanent — aging continues. Thread lifts typically last 1–2 years; endoscopic and classic surgical lifts often maintain results for five years or more. Genetics and lifestyle also matter.

Does a brow lift treat eyebrow hair loss?

No — a brow lift addresses brow position (ptosis) and surrounding tissue, not eyebrow hair loss. Alopecia of the brow is a separate condition requiring dermatologic evaluation.

Surgical brow lift vs cosmetic brow lamination — what's the difference?

This page covers medical/surgical brow lift — repositioning tissue via surgery or medical threads. Brow lamination is a salon cosmetic service that temporarily shapes brow hairs; it is not a substitute for surgery. For medical correction, book a surgical consultation.
