Lifted, Not Frozen
Drooping brows, forehead lines, and sagging skin can give the upper face a tired or tense appearance. At The Godek Center for Personal Enhancement in Toms River and Wall, we perform brow lift surgery for patients in New Jersey seeking long-term improvement in facial appearance. Dr. Christopher Godek, a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial plastic surgery, offers multiple surgical techniques—including the endoscopic brow lift—to reposition the brows, reduce forehead wrinkles, and restore a more youthful expression.
Open the Upper Face
A brow lift, sometimes called a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that raises the position of sagging eyebrows and smooths forehead skin. By lifting the soft tissue and underlying muscles, a brow lift reduces horizontal wrinkles, deep creases, and frown lines across the upper face.
Targeted Improvements
The brow lift procedure treats multiple signs of aging in the upper face, including:
At our practice in New Jersey Brow lift surgery often complements an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) for complete forehead rejuvenation.
Tailored Techniques
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to facial rejuvenation. The type of brow lift that works best for you will depend on your anatomy, degree of brow ptosis, and aesthetic goals. Here’s a breakdown of the most common approaches Dr. Godek offers at our New Jersey office:
This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny incisions hidden in the hairline. An endoscope provides visual guidance as the underlying tissue and muscles are repositioned for a smoother, more lifted look. Most patients experience less swelling and a quicker recovery with this method.
A more extensive surgical procedure, the coronal lift uses a longer incision across the scalp to address significant brow drooping or deep horizontal forehead wrinkles. It offers dramatic, long-lasting results for patients with advanced signs of aging.
This targeted lift focuses on elevating the outer edges of the eyebrows and removing excess skin near the temples. It’s an excellent choice for patients with a tired appearance or lateral hooding of the upper eyelids.
The mini brow lift is ideal for patients with mild brow descent who want a subtle lift without full surgery. It involves smaller incisions and a more conservative elevation—perfect for early intervention or fine-tuning.
No matter the approach, each brow lift procedure aims to restore a natural, refreshed appearance—never frozen or overdone. During your consultation, Dr. Godek will help determine the most effective technique for your features and goals.
Subtle Changes, Major Impact

Who Is It Right For?

Patients with brow ptosis that affects vision may also find medical benefits from this cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.
Planning for Precision
During your initial consultation for your brow lift, Dr. Godek evaluates your brow position, skin elasticity, forehead muscles, and facial symmetry. He’ll recommend the best surgical technique for your needs—from endoscopic to traditional lift surgery. Before surgery, you may be advised to:
Preparing properly helps reduce risks and supports optimal healing.
Tailored Technique, Trusted Results
Brow lift surgery is a customizable plastic surgery procedure that can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on your needs and the surgical plan. Dr. Godek selects the technique based on your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Each approach has distinct advantages, and all are performed with precision to minimize visible scarring and support natural-looking results.
The endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions hidden within the hairline. Through these tiny incisions, Dr. Godek inserts an endoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light—to visualize and reposition the underlying facial muscles and tissue. This technique lifts the brows, reduces frown lines, and smooths the forehead with less trauma to the surrounding tissue, which generally means a faster recovery and reduced swelling.
A coronal brow lift—also referred to as a traditional brow lift—involves a longer incision made across the top of the scalp, usually behind the hairline. It allows for a more comprehensive lift and is often recommended for patients with significant sagging, deep forehead wrinkles, or thicker skin that may not respond as well to endoscopic techniques. This approach gives the surgeon direct access to the forehead muscles and soft tissue, allowing for significant repositioning and smoothing of deep lines.
The temporal brow lift, sometimes called a lateral brow lift, focuses specifically on lifting the outer portion of the brow. This technique is ideal for patients with a tired or heavy appearance around the outer eyes but minimal central forehead sagging. Incisions are discreetly placed at the temples within the hairline, allowing Dr. Godek to subtly elevate the brows and reduce excess skin without altering the full brow shape.
Each brow lift technique is tailored to your unique facial structure and expression. The goal is always the same: to reposition the brows in a way that restores a rested, lifted look—without ever appearing pulled or overdone.
How It Evolves
After your brow lift procedure, expect mild swelling and bruising around the treatment area. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in brow height and forehead smoothness.

The brow lift change is subtle but impactful, lifting the entire upper face, refreshing the eyes, and reducing wrinkles for a more balanced, youthful appearance.

We provide full post-operative instructions to guide you through healing and maximize comfort and outcomes.
Better Together
For more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a brow lift can be paired with other procedures that complement and enhance your overall results. Here’s how each one contributes to a more balanced, refreshed appearance:
If sagging upper eyelids or under-eye puffiness are part of your concern, an eyelid lift can be performed alongside your brow lift to remove excess skin and fat, improving both function and appearance around the eyes.
A facelift addresses aging in the mid-to-lower face, including jowls, deep creases, and loose skin. When combined with a brow lift, it creates a smoother, more youthful contour from forehead to jawline.
To restore volume and soften deeper folds, facial fat transfer or dermal fillers can be added to your treatment plan. These help enhance areas like the temples, cheeks, or nasolabial folds for a more lifted, balanced look.
Botox can be used before or after brow lift surgery to minimize forehead movement and reduce the appearance of frown lines. It’s also an effective maintenance tool to extend your surgical results.

Most brow lifts are performed under general anesthesia, but some mini or endoscopic lifts may be done with local anesthesia and sedation.
Brow lift results often last 10–15 years. Aging continues, but most patients enjoy long-lasting improvements.
