MAKING YOU, MORE YOU
If your breasts are affecting your body image and self-esteem, the expert cosmetic surgeons at Bella Vou can help.
Brow Lift TREATMENT OVERVIEW
As we age, the brow can begin to droop, making the eyes look hooded, tired, or permanently frowning. A Brow Lift lifts and repositions the brow to soften forehead lines and restore a more open, refreshed appearance.
There isn't a single "Brow Lift" operation - there are three techniques, each suited to different concerns: a Direct Brow Lift for a targeted, localised lift; a Lateral Brow Lift for hooding at the outer eye; and an Endoscopic Brow Lift for a fuller lift across the whole forehead. Your surgeon will recommend the technique that matches your anatomy and goals.
A Brow Lift can help treat problems affecting the forehead and eyebrows. It can address excess skin hanging over your eyes. It can also treat some of the effects of ageing. You may consider a Browplasty if:
- Your eyebrow creates a tired, sad, or grumpy appearance.
- You have deep horizontal creases across the forehead.
- You have frown lines or furrows between the eyebrows or across the top of your nose.
Incisions are placed to be as discreet as possible - within the eyebrow line for a Direct Brow Lift, or hidden in the hairline for a Lateral or Endoscopic Brow Lift. Most scars fade significantly over the following months.
In expert hands, anti-wrinkle injections can give a slight elevation of the eyebrows. The results are temporary and tend to be more subtle than the results achieved with brow lift surgery.
Although brow lift surgery offers a long-lasting solution to combat the signs of ageing, there is no guarantee that all forehead wrinkles will go away. The main benefit of brow lift surgery is lifting of the brow, with secondary lifting of upper eyelid skin.
Bella Vou offers every client a free consultation with an expert, accredited cosmetic surgeon. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss any worries you have about your appearance and your treatment goals. The surgeon will examine your bone structure, brow position, skin elasticity, and the thickness of your skin. They will recommend the right procedure to address your problems and achieve the look you desire.
Bella Vou offers a bespoke service. Several procedures can be performed at the same time to meet your needs. Sometimes a forehead lift is combined with an upper blepharoplasty if there is also additional skin above the eyelid.
When a Brow Lift, Facelift, Upper, and Lower Blepharoplasty and Cheek Lifts are combined, this is commonly referred to as a Full Facelift.
The Brow Lift surgery cost can vary widely depending on several factors, including the extent of the procedure, and type of the surgery. At Bella Vou, the Eyebrow lift cost in the UK starts from £3900.00 including Including all pre-care, aftercare, and Local anaesthetics. Additionally, we will also help you with financing options or payment plans if you're concerned about the cost.
Book your FREE consultation today to get to know more about the eyebrow lift procedure, treatment, and cost.
They differ in where the incision is made and how much of the brow is lifted. A Direct Brow Lift targets a specific area directly above the eyebrow. A Lateral Brow Lift lifts the outer brow via a temple incision. An Endoscopic Brow Lift lifts the entire forehead via small scalp incisions. Your surgeon will recommend the right one for your concern at your consultation.
This is exactly what your free consultation is for. Your surgeon will assess your brow position, skin laxity, and the specific area you're concerned about, then recommend the most suitable technique - or an alternative treatment, if that's a better fit.
Most patients describe discomfort rather than pain, managed with standard pain relief. Local anaesthetic procedures (Direct and often Lateral) are typically well tolerated with minimal downtime.
Results are long-lasting, though the natural ageing process continues. Many patients enjoy their results for a decade or more.

BROW LIFT HEALING & SCAR PROGRESSION
Scars are a natural part of the healing process. The goal is to make your scar as small and discreet as possible. It is important to remember that cosmetic surgery scars and healing progression can vary depending on the type of procedure and the individual's healing process.
STITCH SENSE
The experienced consultant cosmetic surgeons at Bella Vou use stitching techniques and materials designed to reduce discomfort and improve healing.
DISCREET SCARS
The Consultant Cosmetic Surgeons at Bella Vou understand the importance of careful scar placement. Not only do their world-class suturing techniques ensure that the scars are very fine, but they will always make every effort to place scars where they will go unnoticed.
SCAR CLINIC
Throughout your recovery with Bella Vou, you will attend regular sessions with our dedicated Scar Clinic to help support healthy healing. Our in-clinic wound specialists will monitor your progress, assess scar formation, and provide expert care to ensure optimal outcomes.
Immediate Post-Op (3 Days)
In the initial days following surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the brow and forehead area. Surgical incisions, usually placed directly above the eyebrows, will have sutures. During this stage, it's essential to follow post-operative care instructions, which may include keeping the incision sites clean and avoiding strenuous activities.
Early Healing (1-week)
Over the next few weeks, swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and the brow area will begin to settle into its new position. Patients will start to notice an improvement in the brow's appearance as it becomes smoother and more elevated. Sutures may be removed during this period.
Long-Term Healing (6 Months)
Final results of the direct browlift become more apparent as the healing process continues. Swelling dissipates entirely, and any residual redness or scarring from the incisions typically fades over time. Patients enjoy a rejuvenated, more youthful brow position and appearance.
It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible healing and cosmetic results.

… Numerous things resulted in me having my surgery at Bella Vou. When I first started looking at UK surgeons, a significant number of them wanted a fee for a consultation with a surgeon… Bella Vou does not charge for a consultation. I believe the charge is a form of pressure to commit, dressed up as some ethical decision… This was the first thing that made me consider Bella Vou…I then contacted Bella Vou and went from there. They are clear that you can see the surgeon initially remotely; however, they will not proceed with surgery without seeing you in person—how it should be!… A week before, I was sent a detailed email with all the requirements for me pre-operatively. Whilst they stated there may be a charge at this point, the option to back out from the surgery was still available. There was never any pressure to commit… After five hours of surgery, I came around in my suite. I was initially in a lot of pain and had severe swelling, resulting in both my eyes being closed—I was unable to see. The nurses, again, were outstanding. They worked tirelessly to help me get my pain under control, which took a fair bit of work! Despite the surgery only being booked for the day and with most staff having gone home, there was not a hint of them trying to get me discharged, and they were happy to stay and chat with me and ensure my pain was under control before I left. I cannot thank them enough for this. I wish I could remember names, but I was a bit out of it!… I cannot fault Bella Vou at all. Every single touchpoint for the customer has been considered; not a thing was missed or overlooked, and I felt entirely confident they and Hagen would be there to support me post-operation as much as I required. They absolutely deserve their “outstanding” CQC rating (something else that drew me here) and demonstrate a masterclass in customer service. They deserve to do well with this approach… I cannot recommend them highly enough, and you will be in the best possible hands choosing Bella Vou for your surgery.

I had eyelid surgery and brow lift 3 months ago, I couldn’t recommend this procedure more, Amir was very reassuring throughout the process from the initial consultation, the procedure and at the follow up. It took 2 hours under local anaesthetic and I was home feeling comfortable a few hours later. After one week I had my stitches out and I was healing very well.

Dr Sadr was very reassuring and the whole procedure went well. I felt comfortable from the first meeting, through the operation and with all the excellent aftercare. I would definitely choose Amir and Bella Vou again if I wanted any other procedure.

If you are reading this, wondering if Amir at Bella Vou is the surgeon you are considering, I cannot praise him enough. I had blepharoplasty and a brow lift. From start to finish I was put at ease, amazing results and the aftercare is off the scale. Everyone is helpful and friendly and if you have any worries, someone is always available to help you. I would 100% recommend and I would never go anywhere else.

I went to Bella Vou after a recommendation from a doctor specialising in Anti Wrinkle Injections. She advised that this was the wrong treatment for my eyes and brows and advised me to see a surgeon. From my first contact with this clinic I was completely impressed. Dr Amir Sadr was so knowledgable, kind and informative. I felt confident in his recommendations and decided to proceed. On the day of my treatment the whole experience was fantastic. My nurses, Jade and Scott, were amazing. Amir kept me calm and I absolutely love the results… I feel more confident and my face feels more comfortable, as my brows no longer feel heavy. The treatment is fabulous and I would have no hesitation in using this clinic again in the future. Thank you for everything.

I have had an outstanding experience with Amir Sadr at Bella Vou from start to finish. Firstly, at my initial consult, which was free of charge, and not hurried at all. Amir answered all my questions and made me feel really comfortable. He is clearly very passionate about what he does and he will only operate if he feels it is the right thing for the patient. I went on to have a tummy tuck and brow lift at Bella Vou in October 2021, receiving excellent care both on the day (general anaesthetic and an overnight stay), and in the following weeks during the healing process. A year later in October 2022 I had an upper eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty) under local anaesthetic walk in/walk out which I am recovering from now. I really cannot fault Bella Vou at all and would recommend them without hesitation… My healing process went pretty smoothly, but even so I returned to have checkups and dressings changed etc. which was very reassuring. After my tummy tuck the area around one stitch did get sore and needed a bit more care. All of this would have been much more worrying had I not had the amazing support of the Bella Vou team.

Having trust in the surgeon was the most important factor for me. After carrying out a great deal of research I chose to have my Direct Brow Lift and Upper Blepharoplasty with Mr Amir Sadr at Bella Vue. I knew from the initial consultation that he was the right surgeon for me. He was calm, professional and extremely reassuring at all times. We discussed all the concerns I had about the appearance of my eyes and he talked honestly about the procedure and the results I could expect. His team of support staff are fantastic, well-organised and highly professional, always replying quickly to any queries I had and extremely kind and polite. The surgery was painless and I am recovering quickly. I am incredibly happy with the whole experience from start to finish.

This is a very well deserved review for Mr Schumacher. I’m 56 and earlier this year I had a direct brow lift with a really great result which I noticed soon after. Later on I had an upper and lower Blepharoplasty, again which healed with superb results. I was so pleasantly surprised to look in the mirror and see my younger self looking back at me through my eyes. If you’re reading this and thinking about cosmetic surgery you won’t be disappointed if you get in touch with Mr Schumacher. He has such a lovely calm trusting manner, and I promise you won’t feel pressured in any way. His after care is superb too! I’m very grateful to have found him as a surgeon. Thank you Mr Schumacher!!

Dr Hagen was friendly from the first consultation to the treatment itself. He fully understood the concerns I had and had clearly explained the pros and cons of the procedure and alternatives. One of my brows was more droopy than the other and Dr Hagen has done a wonderful job lifting the brow into a symmetric position. He was also always available to contact and provided immediate responses both pre and post operation and the direct brow lift itself was fantastic and I’m incredibly happy with the results.

I was quite nervous as I’ve never had any type of elective surgery before and everyone seemed to be so young. I didn’t need to worry, Amir was amazing and put me at my ease. I had my consultation seeking eyelid surgery but he showed me that this was not what I really needed and wouldn’t give the results I wanted. He explained all about a bilateral brow lift and why it was a better option. I really valued him not just agreeing to do an operation I had asked for. I went away and thought about it and then decided to go ahead… Amir couldn’t have been more professional or calming so I was relaxed throughout. I never felt a thing. Amir takes so much time and trouble with his work, telling me what he was doing, his stitches were at the top edge of my eyebrows so they didn’t show and I covered the under eye bruising with concealer. The most amazing thing is how I can see so much clearer as my eyes open properly and I don’t have to work hard to open my eyes! The world looks so much better, thanks to Amir. Stitches out 1 week later, virtually painless!

Very impressed with Dr Schumacher. I initially wanted a full brow lift but after a consultation, Dr Schumacher suggested the direct brow lift as less invasive, less downtime and more affordable. I was nervous upon arriving for the procedure, but was soon put at ease by himself and his lovely nurse Lorraine, she allowed me to hold her hand throughout! I had a local anaesthetic, the whole procedure was finished within two hours and totally pain free. I initially bought music to listen to but ended up just chatting! The results are amazing, Dr Schumacher asked me what shape and height I wanted my brows to be and he delivered, even making an adjustment at the end so I was totally happy. No stitches to remove as dissolvable, the scar line is actually much neater than I expected and healing well. Would highly recommend Dr Schumacher, he is approachable, easy to talk to and offers a follow up appointment to check all is well.

Dr Schumacher performed a direct brow lift in February 2019. I had started to have drooping of the eyebrows…and Anti Wrinkle Injections can only do so much! So Hagen suggested a direct brow lift which I hadn’t heard of before. The whole procedure took approx 1 hour under local anaesthetic and was painless. Hagen was very professional throughout the entire procedure , explaining everything, asked if I wanted some music playing, which helped relax me even more! He made me feel comfortable and at ease. He was friendly and approachable from the first initial appointment to the review appointment. He has an incredibly nice manner, not at all arrogant and is humble with it! I’ve had Anti Wrinkle Injections by Hagen twice which I have to say has been the best outcome than any other practitioner before. The final results of the direct brow lift has improved the droopIng by 95%. After 6 months the scars were hardly noticeable, he used dissolvable sutures, so no stitches to come out! I am very happy with the results. He is very diligent and a perfectionist. I would highly recommend Dr Schumacher.
