Protecting and Prolonging Your Brow Lift
February 25, 2026

A brow lift can restore a refreshed, more youthful appearance by elevating sagging brows and softening forehead lines. Many patients love how a brow lift opens the eyes and reduces a tired expression that can develop over time.
If you’re wondering how long a brow lift lasts and what you can do to maintain your results, the answer lies in a thoughtful long term plan. At Natural State Aesthetics, patients benefit from both surgical expertise and ongoing non-surgical treatments that help extend and protect their investment.
Here’s what you need to know about maintaining your brow lift results.
How Long Does a Brow Lift Last?
A brow lift is considered a long lasting procedure. Depending on the surgical technique, skin quality, and individual aging patterns, results can last 5 to 15 years or sometimes even longer.
However, it’s important to understand that surgery does not stop the aging process. Skin continues to lose collagen, gravity continues to act on facial tissue, and muscle movement continues to shape expression lines. The goal of maintenance isn’t to repeat surgery, it’s to support your results so they age gracefully.
Protect Your Results Early
The first year after your brow lift is especially important. Following post operative instructions carefully helps ensure proper healing and ideal scar formation. Avoiding excessive strain during early recovery and attending follow up appointments allows your surgeon to monitor progress and guide you appropriately.
An important long term habit patients can benefit from is sun protection. UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown and contributes to sagging skin. Daily sunscreen use significantly reduces premature aging in the forehead and brow area. Even on cloudy days, SPF is essential. Investing in medical grade skincare can further support healing and collagen production during this time.
Other key products often recommended for at home skincare include:
-Retinoids to stimulate collagen turnover
-Vitamin C for antioxidant protection
Neuromodulators: A Key Tool for Brow Lift Maintenance
One of the most effective ways to maintain a brow lift is through neuromodulator treatments. Over time, the muscles that pull the brows downward will continue to contract. Carefully placed neuromodulators (like Daxxify or Botox,) help reduce this downward pull, allowing the surgically lifted brow to maintain its position longer.
Most patients benefit from treatments every 3 to 4 months, depending on their muscle activity and type of neuromodulator used.
Laser Treatments
Skin quality significantly influences the longevity of your brow lift results. As collagen production naturally decreases with age, the forehead can gradually lose firmness and elasticity.
Our Laser Facials incorporate advanced technologies such as BBL (BroadBand Light), Moxi (fractional laser resurfacing), and Opus (radiofrequency energy) to stimulate collagen and support skin integrity. This will help your brow lift maintain a smooth, natural, and refreshed appearance once healed.
Lifestyle Factors That Impact Brow Lift Longevity
Smoking accelerates collagen breakdown and compromises circulation, which can weaken the skin over time. Significant weight fluctuations, chronic sun exposure, and unmanaged stress also contribute to accelerated aging.
The Benefit of Ongoing Care
One of the advantages of having your brow lift performed at Natural State Aesthetics is continuity of care. When your providers understand your surgical procedure, adjustments can be made with precision.
Combining surgical expertise with lasers, neuromodulators, and advanced skincare allows for a comprehensive approach to facial aging.
If you have questions about maintaining your brow lift or would like to develop a personalized plan, scheduling a consultation is the next step after your surgery. A thoughtful maintenance strategy ensures your results continue to look natural, balanced, and beautifully aligned with how you feel.
