A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to raise sagging eyebrows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Over time, the eyebrows can droop, leading to a tired, angry, or aged look. A brow lift corrects this by lifting and repositioning the brows, enhancing facial harmony.
In Istanbul, Op. Dr. Murat Benzer specializes in advanced brow lift techniques, including endoscopic, temporal, and traditional methods, to achieve natural and long-lasting results. This procedure can also help reduce frown lines and improve the eye area for a more open, youthful expression.
With minimally invasive approaches and quick recovery times, a brow lift in Turkey is an excellent solution for those seeking a refreshed, lifted, and well-defined brow line.
Causes of Eye and Forehead Aging
- Loss of Collagen & Skin Elasticity – Reduced collagen production leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging brows.
- Gravity & Natural Aging – Over time, the forehead and brows naturally droop, causing a tired or angry expression.
- Repeated Facial Expressions – Constant frowning, squinting, and raising eyebrows contribute to deep forehead wrinkles and frown lines.
- Sun Exposure (UV Damage) – UV rays accelerate skin aging, leading to wrinkles and loss of firmness.
- Genetics – Some individuals naturally develop sagging brows or deep forehead lines earlier due to genetic factors.
- Lifestyle Factors – Smoking, poor diet, dehydration, and lack of skincare speed up the aging process.

Techniques Used for Brow Lifts in Turkey
Endoscopic Brow Lift (Minimally Invasive)

- Ideal for mild to moderate brow sagging with quicker recovery and minimal downtime.
Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift
- Lifts the outer part of the eyebrows for a subtle, natural arch and a refreshed look.
- Best for mild brow sagging and can be combined with other facial procedures.
Classic (Coronal) Brow Lift
- Involves a longer incision along the hairline or scalp, allowing for dramatic lifting and wrinkle smoothing.
- Ideal for severe forehead wrinkles and significant brow drooping, with long-lasting results.
Direct Brow Lift
- Removes excess skin above the eyebrows for a more lifted and defined look.
- Best suited for patients with deep forehead wrinkles or asymmetrical brows.
Thread Brow Lift (Non-Surgical Option)
- Uses dissolvable threads to lift and reposition the brows without surgery.
- Temporary results lasting 6-12 months, ideal for patients looking for a quick, non-invasive solution.
How is Brow Lift Performed in Turkey?
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
- A detailed consultation with Op. Dr. Murat Benzer is conducted to evaluate brow position, forehead wrinkles, and overall facial harmony.
- The most suitable brow lift technique (Endoscopic, Temporal, Coronal, Direct, or Thread Lift) is selected based on the patient’s needs.
- Pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding blood-thinning medications and quitting smoking, are provided for a smooth recovery.
2. Anesthesia & Incision Placement
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort.
- For Endoscopic and Coronal Brow Lifts: Incisions are made within the hairline to minimize visible scarring.
- For Direct Brow Lifts: Small incisions are placed above the eyebrows for a more defined and lifted look.
3. Lifting & Repositioning the Brows
- The skin and underlying tissues are lifted and secured to achieve a natural, youthful brow position.
- If necessary, muscles responsible for frown lines are adjusted to smooth forehead wrinkles.
- For Thread Brow Lifts, dissolvable threads are inserted to provide a temporary but immediate lifting effect.
4. Suturing & Recovery
- Incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring and a smooth healing process.
- Mild swelling and bruising are expected but usually subside within 7-10 days.
- Patients receive post-operative care instructions, including avoiding excessive facial expressions and sleeping with the head elevated.
Brow Lift Recovery Process
- First 24-48 Hours – Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness; cold compresses help reduce discomfort.
- First Week – Stitches may be removed within 5-7 days, and most bruising and swelling start to subside.
- 2-3 Weeks – The brows settle into their new position, and patients can resume normal activities while avoiding strenuous exercise.
- 4-6 Weeks – Residual swelling disappears, and the final, natural-looking results start to appear.
- 3-6 Months – Full recovery is complete, and the brows maintain their lifted, youthful position.
How Much Does a Brown Lift Cost in Turkey?
The cost of a brow lift in Turkey depends on several factors, including the technique used (Endoscopic, Temporal, Coronal, Direct, or Thread Lift), the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon’s expertise, and the clinic’s reputation.
- Minimally invasive options like Thread Lifts tend to be more affordable but temporary (lasting 6-12 months).
- Surgical techniques such as Endoscopic or Coronal Brow Lifts provide longer-lasting results and may have a higher cost due to anesthesia and surgical facility fees.
- Many clinics in Turkey offer affordable, high-quality packages, including consultation, surgery, anesthesia, post-operative care, and sometimes accommodation and transfers for international patients.
