Everything You Should Know About Getting a Brow Lift in Ireland
Over time, the upper face can show early signs of ageing — a drooping brow, hooded eyelids, and deep forehead lines can make you appear tired, stern, or older than you feel. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a refined surgical technique that elevates the brows, smooths the forehead, and restores a softer, more open expression.
At Dr. Cormac Joyce Plastic Surgery, this procedure is meticulously tailored to your anatomy and goals, ensuring results that are elegant, natural, and balanced with the rest of your features.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift repositions the tissues of the upper face to correct sagging brows and smooth horizontal forehead creases. The procedure also helps lift excess skin that may contribute to upper eyelid heaviness.
Dr. Cormac Joyce performs brow lift surgery in Dublin using advanced techniques designed to minimise scarring, reduce downtime, and achieve long-lasting rejuvenation.
Depending on your needs, he may recommend one of several approaches:
-
Endoscopic Brow Lift – Minimally invasive, performed through small incisions hidden within the hairline.
-
Temporal Brow Lift – Focused on lifting the outer portion of the brow for subtle yet impactful rejuvenation.
-
Traditional or Coronal Brow Lift – Used for more significant correction or when additional forehead tightening is required.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
-
You may be a suitable candidate for a brow lift if you notice:
-
Drooping or flat eyebrows that make you look tired or angry
-
Forehead lines that remain visible even at rest
-
Hooding of the upper eyelids due to brow descent
-
Desire for a refreshed yet natural look
During your consultation, Dr. Cormac Joyce will assess your facial structure, skin elasticity, and overall goals. In some cases, he may recommend combining your brow lift with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or a Reform™ Facelift for comprehensive upper and midface rejuvenation.

The Procedure and Recovery
A brow lift is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the technique used.
After surgery, patients experience mild swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes, which subsides within 7–10 days. Stitches are usually removed within a week, and most people return to work within 10–14 days.
Dr. Cormac Joyce provides a detailed post-operative plan to ensure optimal healing and comfort. As swelling settles, you’ll notice smoother forehead lines, lifted brows, and a brighter, more rested expression that still feels entirely “you.”

Longevity, Recovery & Results
The best brow lifts are not obvious. Instead of creating a “surprised” or over-tightened appearance, Dr. Cormac Joyce’s goal is to achieve a natural elevation that enhances your facial harmony.
Results from a brow lift typically last for many years, as the underlying tissues are repositioned — not simply tightened. This makes it one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the upper third of the face while preserving your individuality and natural expression.
