Specialist Brow Lift & Forehead Lift Surgery

Personalised Consultation & Treatment Plan

Expert Brow Lift & Forehead Lift Surgery

If you’re concerned about drooping eyebrows, forehead lines, or a tired-looking appearance, Merchant City Medical Group offers expert brow lift and forehead lift surgery in Edinburgh. Led by Specialist Register Consultant Plastic Surgeon Dr Karima Medjoub, who has over 15 years of experience, our clinic provides expert assessment and personalised treatment plans tailored to your facial features and aesthetic goals.

Brow lift surgery can elevate sagging brows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and reduce upper eyelid hooding, helping restore a more youthful and refreshed expression. At Merchant City Medical Group, every procedure is carried out with a strong focus on clinical precision, patient safety, and natural-looking results, ensuring high-quality care from consultation through to recovery.

How the Procedure Works

Consultation with a Specialist

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Specialist Register Consultant Plastic Surgeon Dr Karima Medjoub. During this appointment, we discuss your concerns, assess your brow position and facial features, and review your medical history to understand your goals.

Clinical Assessment & Treatment Planning

A thorough assessment is carried out to determine the most suitable brow lift or forehead lift technique for you. We explain the procedure, expected outcomes, recovery timeline, and answer any questions so you feel fully informed.

Brow Lift Procedure

Brow lift surgery is performed using precise surgical techniques designed to elevate the eyebrows, smooth forehead lines, and reduce upper eyelid hooding. The procedure is typically carried out under local or general anaesthetic and usually takes 1–2 hours.

Recovery & Aftercare

After surgery, you will receive clear aftercare guidance to support healing and achieve the best possible results. Most patients take around one week off work, with strenuous activities avoided for several weeks while swelling gradually settles.
