A brow lift smooths out forehead wrinkles and raises sagging eyebrow lines. The procedure is performed by making an incision in the hairline and then detaching the skin from the tissue underneath. Next, excess skin is removed and the underlying muscle is smoothed out before the skin is re-attached.
