Forehead Lines & Droopy Brows
Smooth deep forehead lines and lift the brow position with surgical and non-surgical options
Overview
Smooth deep forehead lines and lift the brow position with surgical and non-surgical options
Horizontal lines across the forehead and a low or heavy brow position are common ageing concerns. The forehead muscles raise the brow constantly throughout the day, and over time this repeated movement etches lines into the overlying skin. As the brow position descends with age, the lid takes on a heavier appearance and the forehead is held even more actively to compensate, deepening the lines further.
For early or moderate forehead lines, anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscle activity that drives the creasing, smoothing the surface lines and softening the resting appearance. For a more lasting change in brow position, a surgical brow lift repositions the soft tissues of the upper face. The right option depends on the degree of brow descent and the depth of the lines.
At Maison Restorative our team will assess the relationship between your brow, forehead and eyelids and recommend the approach most likely to give you the natural, refreshed result you are looking for.

When to seek advice
If forehead lines or a heavy brow are bothering you, a consultation will clarify what is achievable with non-surgical treatment and whether a surgical brow lift would suit you better. Early intervention with anti-wrinkle injections can prevent lines from deepening further.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Will Botox give me a frozen forehead?
Not in skilled hands. The aim is to soften muscle activity and the lines it creates while preserving natural movement. The dose and placement are tailored to your face and the result you want.
How long does a brow lift last?
A surgical brow lift produces a long-lasting result, often many years. The natural ageing process continues, but the corrected position is maintained well beyond what non-surgical treatments can achieve.
Can these treatments be combined?
Yes. Many patients benefit from a combination, for example a brow lift to address the lift component and ongoing anti-wrinkle injections to keep the forehead smooth.
How do I get rid of deep forehead lines?
For lines driven by muscle movement, anti-wrinkle injections relax the forehead muscle so the surface lines soften and stop deepening. Where a heavy or descended brow is part of the picture, a surgical brow lift addresses the underlying cause. Medical-grade skincare and resurfacing improve the skin texture alongside. A consultation identifies the right mix for you.
How much does treatment for forehead lines and a brow lift cost?
Pricing depends on whether a non-surgical or surgical approach is agreed and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
