Surgical
Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Eye Lift)
A surgical procedure that may involve the removal or repositioning of skin and orbital fat to modify the structure and appearance of the upper eyelid.
Browplasty, also known as a brow lift, is a surgical procedure performed at Shape Clinic in Sydney that addresses changes in the position or tone of the eyebrows and forehead region. The procedure may involve the removal of excess skin and the repositioning of underlying soft tissue to alter brow position or forehead contour.
In some cases, browplasty may be performed together with blepharoplasty when clinically indicated, to address anatomical changes affecting the upper third of the face and the area around the eyes.
Individuals considering browplasty are generally in good overall health and understand that outcomes and recovery experiences vary. This procedure may be considered for people presenting with one or more of the following clinical features:
Disclaimer
Ageing, cumulative ultraviolet exposure, genetic factors, and intrinsic skin characteristics can contribute to structural changes in the periorbital region.

Browplasty is performed at our Sydney clinic to address brow ptosis or soft tissue descent in the upper third of the face. The procedure typically involves the surgical repositioning of the brow and underlying forehead tissues. In some cases, excess skin may also be removed to adjust the brow position relative to the orbital rim.
The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, depending on the surgical plan. The technique used will be determined based on your anatomy and clinical needs.
Recovery timelines and experiences vary between individuals. Any concerns or questions during recovery should be discussed with your specialist plastic surgeon, Dr Steven Liew (FRACS MED0001151298) or Dr Ania Smialkowski (FRACS MED0001668109), during your scheduled follow-up appointments.

Yes, Browplasty is the medical term for what is commonly referred to as a brow lift, a surgical procedure that repositions the brow and forehead tissue to improve their appearance.
Results from a Browplasty generally last several years, though this varies depending on individual factors such as skin quality, lifestyle, and the natural ageing process, which will continue regardless of surgery.
As with any surgical procedure, Browplasty carries potential risks, including but not limited to bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, and hair loss at the incision site. Your surgeon will discuss the specific risks relevant to your individual circumstances during your consultation.
Some discomfort, tightness, or mild pain is common in the initial days following Browplasty, which is generally manageable with prescribed pain relief. Discomfort typically subsides within the first week as initial healing progresses.
Most patients are able to return to non-strenuous work within 1 to 2 weeks following a Browplasty, depending on individual healing and the nature of their occupation. Strenuous exercise and activities that raise blood pressure are generally avoided for around 4 to 6 weeks, with your surgeon providing specific guidance based on your recovery progress.
A Browplasty can help improve hooded eyes in some cases by elevating the position of the brow, which may reduce excess skin overhanging the eyelid. However, if hooding is primarily caused by excess upper eyelid skin rather than brow position, a Blepharoplasty may be more appropriate. Your surgeon can assess your individual anatomy during a consultation to determine the most suitable approach.
