Forehead and temple lift
A forehead and temple lift (brow lift) is a procedure to smooth horizontal forehead wrinkles and raise drooping eyebrows and the tissues of the temporal region. Drooping eyebrows give the face a tired, stern expression and deepen the hooding of the eyelids - the lift restores an open, rested appearance to the upper face.

Forehead and temple lift - what does the procedure involve?
A forehead and temporal lift is a surgical procedure aimed at smoothing horizontal forehead wrinkles, raising the eyebrows and improving the contour of the upper face. The procedure gives the gaze a more rested, open appearance and reduces the effect of drooping lateral eyelids.
We use techniques matched to the degree of drooping: a temporal lift (short incisions hidden in the hair - raising the outer part of the eyebrow), endoscopic or classic forehead lift. We often combine the procedure with upper eyelid surgery - eyelid hooding is in fact often a consequence of brow drooping.
Indications for the procedure
Whether the procedure is advisable for you is ultimately decided by the doctor during the consultation.
- Drooping eyebrows deepening a sad or tired facial expression
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles and vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows
- Eyebrow asymmetry
- Excess skin in the area of the outer upper eyelid
- A desire to rejuvenate the upper face
Contraindications
How to prepare for the procedure?
The procedure is always preceded by a qualification consultation with a plastic surgeon - we discuss expectations, examine the area to be operated on and establish an individual treatment plan. As standard, we order a full set of tests (blood count, coagulation, electrolytes, ECG for general anaesthesia) and, if necessary, additional specialist consultations.
- Surgical consultation
- Laboratory tests
- Stopping anticoagulant medications at least 14 days before the procedure (after consultation)
- Avoiding alcohol and smoking at least 14 days before the operation
- On the day of the procedure - thorough facial hygiene, without make-up or skincare cosmetics
The forehead and temple lift procedure step by step
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
- Swelling and bruising usually subside within 2-3 weeks
- A feeling of tension or numbness in the forehead area may persist for a few weeks
- The sutures are removed after 7-10 days
- Avoiding physical exertion and bending the head for a minimum of 2 weeks
- Protecting the scars from the sun for a minimum of 6 months
- Recommended check-ups: after 1, 3 and 6 months
Treatment effects
The result of a forehead and temple lift is a raised, naturally curved eyebrow line, a smoothed forehead and an open gaze - the face loses its tired, “worried” expression. Raising the eyebrows also reduces the hooding of the upper eyelids. The effect lasts many years.
The result is smoothing of forehead wrinkles, raising of the eyebrows and a rejuvenated appearance of the upper face. The gaze becomes more open and fresh. The scars are hidden in the hairline and become practically invisible over time. The effect of the procedure is permanent, although natural ageing processes will continue.
Possible complications and risks
Like any surgical procedure, this one also carries a certain risk - at Luna Clinic we minimise it through careful qualification, operating in operating-block conditions and the team’s experience. Possible complications include:
- Haematoma or bleeding requiring drainage
- Infection requiring antibiotic therapy
- Temporary or rarely permanent sensory disturbances in the face or auricle
- Hypertrophic or discoloured scars - minimised thanks to precise suturing technique
- Asymmetry requiring correction
- Longer-lasting swelling or bruising
- An unsatisfactory aesthetic result requiring possible re-operation
Frequently asked questions
Czy zabieg boli?
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia - the patient feels no pain during the operation. After the procedure a mild pain may occur, well controlled with medication.
Do scars remain?
Yes, but they are placed in the hairline and become practically invisible over time.
When can I return to work?
To office work usually after about 10-14 days.
Is the effect permanent?
Yes, but natural ageing processes will continue.
How long does the swelling last?
It most often subsides within 2-3 weeks.
Can I wear make-up right away?
Make-up can be used after the sutures are removed and the skin has healed - usually after about 10-14 days.
Does it require general anaesthesia?
It can be performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation - the decision depends on the surgical plan.
Can I combine this procedure with another?
Yes - it is often combined with eyelid surgery or a facelift.
Will the result be symmetrical?
The surgeon aims for maximum symmetry, but minor differences are natural.
Are check-ups necessary?
Yes - usually after 1, 3 and 6 months.
Forehead lift or eyelid surgery - what do I need?
If the eyebrows sit low (below the brow ridge), removing eyelid skin alone will not be enough and may even pull the eyebrows further down. The best result is often given by combining both procedures.
Does a forehead lift stiffen facial expression?
No - the procedure repositions the tissues without paralysing the muscles. Facial expression remains fully preserved, unlike the effect of botulinum toxin.

What does the forehead and temporal lift involve?
Forehead and temporal lift is a procedure in the field of plastic surgery. At Luna Clinic, every treatment plan is created individually - we start with a thorough consultation and qualification, during which the doctor discusses expectations, assesses the starting situation and selects the scope and technique of the procedure. Thanks to this, the forehead and temporal lift is safe, predictable and tailored to the anatomy and real needs of the specific person. We focus on a natural rather than artificial effect - so that the result emphasises individual beauty and remains in harmony with the rest of the figure or facial features. You will find a full, detailed description of the method in the upper part of this page.
the forehead and temporal lift - who is it for? Indications and qualification
The best way to answer whether the forehead and temporal lift is advisable in your case is during a consultation. The doctor always decides on qualification after an examination - we take into account the state of health, expectations and the real possibilities of the given method. If the procedure is not needed or safe at the moment, we will say so directly and suggest a sensible alternative. Such an honest conversation is the basis of a good decision and satisfaction with the result - which is why we never persuade anyone into unnecessary procedures.
How does the procedure go?
The course is planned to take maximum care of your comfort and safety. We work in comfortable conditions that meet all standards, and an experienced team oversees the process. All recommendations - preparation, contraindications and post-procedure conduct - are discussed individually and also provided in writing, so that the forehead and temporal lift proceeds calmly, predictably and without surprises.
Effects and durability - the forehead and temporal lift before and after
The effects that the forehead and temporal lift provides are always assessed individually. A natural, harmonious refreshment of appearance or an improvement of proportions is the goal we strive for with every patient. “Before and after” transformations are best viewed in our results gallery - they show the real outcomes of our work. Remember that the durability and quality of the effect are also influenced by lifestyle, care and consistent adherence to post-procedure recommendations.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
Recovery goes most smoothly when you follow the recommendations closely. After the procedure you remain under the clinic’s care - in the first days, contact with a doctor is available, and we schedule follow-up visits until full healing and assessment of the effect. You receive clear instructions on care, activity and any supporting products in writing, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of returning to form.
Safety, experience and trust
Safety is an absolute priority for us. Forehead and temporal lift is performed by Dr Aleksandra Łuniewska - a plastic surgery specialist, with care for safety and an individual approach to the patient. Careful qualification, work in appropriate conditions and the team’s experience allow us to minimise risk and achieve repeatable, aesthetic results. In the field of plastic surgery, not only technique matters, but also aesthetic sense and trust between patient and doctor - and that is exactly what we build Luna Clinic on every day.
Why Luna Clinic?

It matters to us that every person feels heard and well informed, which is why we present the real possibilities and limitations of the given method and choose the best solution together.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Good preparation translates directly into the course and the effect. Before the forehead and temporal lift we conduct a qualification consultation, order tests if necessary and discuss the recommendations in detail - including which agents, stimulants or activities to avoid in the days preceding the procedure. You receive all the guidance clearly and in writing, and our team remains available should any additional questions arise. We always tailor the preparation plan individually, because every situation and every patient is different.
