Lift and soften your brow to create a more feminine, refreshed appearance with a brow lift at Transitions. This procedure is ideal for transgender women and gender-diverse individuals seeking facial harmony. Our board-certified surgeons, Dr. Leif Rogers and Dr. Walter J. Joseph, specialize in natural, gender-affirming results tailored to your unique goals.
Raise Your Brows for a Softer Appearance
A brow lift is a gender-affirming procedure that elevates the eyebrows and smooths the forehead to create a softer, more feminine appearance. It’s commonly performed as part of facial feminization surgery (FFS) for transgender women, but it can also benefit gender-diverse individuals seeking to adjust masculine brow features. The procedure helps reduce heaviness above the eyes, relax deep forehead creases, and create a more open expression.
Masculine foreheads tend to have lower-set brows, a heavier brow ridge, and flatter arches. In contrast, feminine brows typically sit higher above the orbital rim with a gentle arch. During your brow lift, our surgeons use various techniques—endoscopic, coronal, or hairline brow lift—to reposition the underlying tissues and muscles while refining the skin to achieve a more lifted look. The result is a face that better aligns with your gender identity and aesthetic goals.
A Brow Lift Can Address These Concerns:
- A heavy or masculine-looking brow
- Low-set or drooping eyebrows
- Deep forehead wrinkles or horizontal lines
- A tired, angry, or overly serious facial expression
- Hooding of the upper eyelids
- Asymmetry between the brows
- A high or uneven hairline (with hairline brow lift technique)
- Desire for a more open and feminine eye appearance
Do I Qualify for a Brow Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a brow lift if you’re seeking a softer, more feminine brow shape or want to correct a heavy, low-set brow contributing to a tired or masculine appearance. This procedure is especially helpful for transgender women and gender-diverse individuals looking to align their facial features with their gender identity.
During your consultation at Transitions, our surgeons—Dr. Rogers or Dr. Joseph—will take the time to understand your goals, assess your facial structure, and review your medical history. They’ll evaluate your skin quality, hairline, and brow position to determine the most appropriate surgical technique for you. Every treatment plan is fully personalized to help you achieve natural, balanced results that support your gender expression and overall confidence.
What Are the Benefits of Brow Lift?
A brow lift offers more than just aesthetic refinement—it can help align your appearance with your identity while enhancing facial harmony. Whether performed alone or as part of a larger facial feminization plan, this procedure offers both emotional and visual benefits. Some of the key advantages of brow lifts include:
- Creating a higher, more traditionally feminine brow position
- Softening harsh or masculine facial features
- Opening up the eye area for a more youthful look
- Reducing deep forehead lines and creases
- Enhancing overall facial symmetry and balance
- Improving self-confidence and gender congruence
- Providing long-lasting, natural-looking results
The Day of Your Brow Lift Surgery
On the day of your brow lift surgery, you’ll arrive at our surgical center, where your care team will guide you through each step of the process. You’ll be placed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Depending on your specific needs, your surgeon will use one of several advanced techniques—such as an endoscopic approach (using small incisions hidden in the hairline) or a hairline incision technique to lower the hairline and elevate the brows.
Once the chosen incisions are made, your surgeon will lift and reposition the underlying brow tissues, removing excess skin if necessary. This creates a more elevated, youthful brow shape and smooths out forehead wrinkles. After the procedure, your incisions will be closed with fine sutures. You’ll be monitored in recovery before heading home the same day.
Your Recovery Experience After Brow Lift
After your brow lift, you can expect some initial swelling, tightness, and mild bruising around the forehead and eyes. These symptoms are normal and typically begin to subside within the first week. You’ll need to keep your head elevated, avoid strenuous activity, and follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to support proper healing.
Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within 7 to 10 days, although full healing may take several weeks. Your incisions will be discreetly placed and fade over time. As the swelling resolves, you’ll begin to see a smoother forehead, lifted brows, and a refreshed, more feminine appearance. Our team will be available throughout your recovery to monitor your progress and ensure you’re healing comfortably and confidently.
