A youthful, balanced forehead plays a crucial role in overall facial harmony and expression. Over time, ageing, genetics, and repeated facial movements can cause the forehead and brows to droop, creating a tired, stern, or aged appearance. For individuals seeking a refreshed, more open look, a forehead lift in Toronto offers an effective and long-lasting solution. At EyeFACE Institute, forehead lift procedures are performed with exceptional precision, personalized planning, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy—delivering natural results that enhance, rather than alter, your unique features.
As Canada’s largest practice dedicated exclusively to the eyes and face, EyeFACE Institute combines surgical expertise with artistic judgment to help patients achieve subtle yet transformative facial rejuvenation.
What Is a Forehead Lift?
A forehead lift—also known as a brow lift—is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the forehead skin and brows, smooth deep creases, and restore a more youthful brow position. With age, the forehead skin can descend, causing:
- Drooping or heavy brows
- Deep horizontal forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- A closed or tired appearance around the eyes
A forehead lift repositions the tissues of the upper face, helping the eyes appear brighter, more open, and more alert while improving overall facial balance.
At EyeFACE Institute, forehead lift techniques are carefully selected and customized to suit each patient’s anatomy, hairline position, and aesthetic goals.
Forehead Lift vs. Forehead Reduction Surgery
While forehead lift surgery focuses on elevating the brows and smoothing the upper face, forehead reduction surgery—also known as hairline lowering surgery—addresses a high or elongated forehead by reducing the distance between the hairline and eyebrows.
EyeFACE Institute offers both procedures and often evaluates patients for the most appropriate option based on:
- Forehead height
- Hairline position
- Brow position
- Facial proportions
In some cases, a combination approach may be recommended to achieve optimal facial harmony. This individualized planning is a hallmark of care at EyeFACE Institute, ensuring results that are balanced, natural, and proportionate.
Why Choose EyeFACE Institute for a Forehead Lift in Toronto?
EyeFACE Institute stands apart from general cosmetic clinics due to its exclusive focus on facial and eye procedures. Forehead and brow surgeries require a sophisticated understanding of facial anatomy, nerve pathways, and aesthetic balance—expertise that comes from specialization, not general practice.
A Highly Specialized Surgical Team
The Institute is home to a multidisciplinary team that includes:
- Oculoplastic surgeons
- Facial plastic surgeons
- Aesthetic specialists focused on facial rejuvenation
This collaborative approach ensures that forehead lift surgery is performed with attention not only to cosmetic enhancement, but also to facial expression, symmetry, and long-term outcomes.
Personalized Consultations
Every forehead lift at EyeFACE Institute begins with a detailed consultation. Surgeons take time to understand:
- Your concerns about ageing or brow position
- Your desired outcome (subtle refresh vs. noticeable lift)
- Your facial structure, hairline, and skin quality
- Any functional concerns, such as brow heaviness affecting vision
Rather than applying a standard technique, EyeFACE Institute creates a custom surgical plan designed specifically for your facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
Accredited, State-of-the-Art Facility
All procedures are performed in a fully accredited surgical facility in Toronto, equipped with advanced technology and designed for patient comfort and safety. This controlled medical environment allows surgeons to achieve precise results while maintaining the highest standards of care.
Forehead Lift Techniques
Depending on your anatomy and goals, EyeFACE Institute may recommend one of several forehead lift techniques:
Endoscopic Forehead Lift
This minimally invasive technique uses small incisions hidden within the hairline. A tiny camera allows the surgeon to elevate the brows and smooth the forehead with minimal scarring and faster recovery.
Hairline (Pretrichial) Forehead Lift
This approach involves an incision along the natural hairline, making it ideal for patients who want to avoid raising the hairline or who are also considering forehead reduction. It allows precise brow repositioning while maintaining balanced proportions.
Direct or Customized Approaches
In select cases, alternative techniques may be recommended to address specific anatomical concerns or asymmetry.
The choice of technique is always based on what will provide the safest, most natural, and longest-lasting result for the individual patient.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Pre-Surgical Planning
During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate facial proportions, brow position, and skin elasticity. You’ll discuss expectations, recovery time, and potential risks so you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.
The Procedure
Forehead lift surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the technique used. The procedure usually takes a few hours and is performed with meticulous attention to detail to ensure symmetry and natural contours.
Recovery
After surgery, patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or tightness in the forehead area. These effects gradually resolve over one to two weeks. Most patients can return to normal daily activities within a short period, with continued improvement as healing progresses.
EyeFACE Institute provides detailed post-operative care instructions and follow-up visits to support a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Patients who undergo a forehead lift at EyeFACE Institute often experience:

- Improved facial balance and harmony
- Increased confidence and self-esteem
The goal is not to change how you look—but to help you look like a rested, rejuvenated version of yourself.
Combining a Forehead Lift with Other Procedures
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a forehead lift may be combined with other procedures such as:
- Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
- Lower eyelid surgery
- Forehead reduction surgery
- Non-surgical treatments for fine lines
Combining procedures can enhance overall results while maintaining a natural, cohesive appearance. EyeFACE Institute carefully plans combination treatments to ensure safety and balanced outcomes.
