What is an endoscopic eyebrow lift?
An endoscopic eyebrow lift (brow lift) raises eyebrows that have dropped with age and softens the lines across the forehead and between the brows. Low brows make you look tired, sad or cross when you are not, and they push skin down onto the upper eyelids. Many people who ask us about an eyebrow lift in Turkey first thought they needed eyelid surgery.
At MAYCLINIK the lift is done endoscopically: through a few short incisions behind the hairline, a thin camera guides the surgeon as the brow is released and lifted, then fixed in its new position. A temporal brow lift lifts only the outer part of the brow through small incisions at the temples. For a very high or very low forehead, a coronal or hairline approach may be discussed.
A good brow lift is subtle. The aim is a rested, open look, not permanently raised eyebrows or a surprised expression.

- Hooded lids with brows in place

- A small lift without surgery
Many patients with heavy upper lids need both a brow lift and eyelid surgery. Your surgeon checks your brow position first.
Is an endoscopic eyebrow lift in Turkey right for you?
Most brow lift patients are between 35 and 65. A simple test: if lifting your brows with your fingertips makes your eyes look as you would like, a brow lift may be the answer.
An eyebrow lift usually suits you if
- Your brows sit lower than they used to, especially at the outer end
- Your upper lids look heavy, but lifting the brow fixes it
- You have deep frown lines or forehead lines, which the lift can soften
- People often think you look tired or cross, even when you are not
- You are in good health and can stop nicotine for 4 weeks before and after surgery
A different option may be better if
- Your brows are already high: eyelid surgery alone is likely enough
- Your forehead is very high: the lift also raises the hairline, so another approach is better
- You only want a very small change: Botox may be enough for that
- You have dry eyes and would also like eyelid surgery: this needs careful planning
- You cannot stop smoking or vaping in the weeks around surgery
Your hospital and hotel in Istanbul
Your operation takes place in a JCI-accredited partner hospital; the rest of your stay is spent recovering in a 5-star hotel, both included in your package.
JCI-accredited partner hospital
Modern operating theatres, private rooms and intensive-care backup, with specialist nursing care after your operation.
5-star hotel & VIP transfers
Comfortable recovery close to the hospital. Private transfers take you to every appointment and your coordinator checks in with you every day.
Your endoscopic eyebrow lift surgeons in Istanbul
You know who will operate on you before you book, and you meet them on video first.
The MAYCLINIK Standard
Four commitments that cover your care from the first video call to long after you fly home.
MAYContour
Before surgery
Surgeons are not interchangeable. Each of ours performs certain operations far more often than others, so you are matched to the one whose routine work is your operation. You meet on video before you travel, and the plan is agreed there, not on arrival.
MAYContourMAYCare+
In Istanbul
From the moment you land to the moment you fly home, one team is responsible for you: airport transfers, your hotel stay, hospital admission, a doctor and nurse who visit you at the hotel, and a check on how you are every day, in your own language.
MAYCare+MAYCheck
Back home
The hardest part of recovery happens after you get home. For twelve months your aftercare nurse stays with you, reviewing how you are healing, telling you what is normal and what is not, and answering questions through our London and Stuttgart offices.
MAYCheckMAYCover
If anything changes
Healing is not always a straight line, and a final result can take up to a year to settle. MAYCover is how we handle it, with your surgeon, if something does need revisiting. Ask your coordinator what it covers, before you book, rather than after.

Your 7 days in Istanbul
A typical plan for an endoscopic eyebrow lift. Your coordinator adjusts it to your flights and your surgeon’s plan.
Day 1
Arrival & consultation
VIP transfer to your hotel, then a face-to-face consultation where the new brow position is marked.
Day 2
Surgery
Your operation, then one night in hospital under nursing care, with a dressing on the forehead.
Day 3
Dressing off
The dressing comes off and your surgeon checks the incisions. You can usually wash your hair gently.
Days 4–6
Rest
Swelling around the forehead and eyes peaks, then eases. Head raised at night and short walks.
Day 7
Stitches out & fly home
Stitches or clips in the hairline are removed, your surgeon checks the result and you fly home.
Endoscopic eyebrow lift recovery, week by week
Recovery after an endoscopic brow lift is usually comfortable. Swelling may travel down to the eyelids in the first days. This is normal.
Days 1–3
Tight & swollen
The forehead feels tight and numb, and swelling can settle around the eyes. Pain is usually mild.
Day 7
Stitches out
Stitches or clips are removed. Bruising is fading and the brows may look a little high at first.
Weeks 2–3
Back among people
Most people return to desk work after 10–14 days. Make-up can cover any remaining bruising.
Weeks 4–6
Getting active
Exercise can usually be resumed. The scalp behind the incisions may still feel numb or itchy.
Months 3–12
Final result
The brows settle into their final, natural height and sensation in the scalp returns.
What helps
- Sleep with your head raised for the first week
- Avoid hair dye, straighteners and hot hair dryers for 4 weeks
- No nicotine for at least four weeks after surgery
- Avoid saunas, hot baths and strenuous exercise for 4 weeks
Endoscopic eyebrow lift risks, and how we reduce them
An endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions and has a low complication rate. These are the risks your surgeon will go through with you.
Numbness of the scalp
Very common at first, in the scalp behind the incisions. It usually improves gradually over several months.
Temporary nerve weakness
The nerve that lifts the brow can be stretched, causing temporary weakness that usually recovers in weeks to months.
Asymmetry
Slight differences between the two brows can show while the swelling settles. Lasting asymmetry is uncommon.
Hair at the incisions
Some hair around the incisions can thin temporarily after surgery. It usually grows back within a few months.
Over-correction
Brows lifted too high look surprised. Careful marking before surgery, with you sitting upright, prevents this.
Endoscopic eyebrow lift in Turkey: frequently asked questions
If gently lifting your brows with your fingertips makes your eyes look right, the heaviness comes from the brows and a brow lift is the answer. If the brows are in a good position and the lid skin is still hanging, eyelid surgery is needed. Many patients have both.
With an endoscopic brow lift, the short incisions are behind the hairline and hidden by your hair. A temporal lift leaves small scars at the temples, also inside the hair.
An endoscopic brow lift usually lasts many years, often 7–10 or more. The face keeps ageing naturally, but the brows stay higher than they would have been.
Not if it is done well. The new brow height is marked with you sitting upright before surgery, and the lift focuses on the outer brow, where most of the drop happens.
Most patients feel tightness and a headache-like pressure for a few days rather than real pain. It is controlled with ordinary painkillers.
Gentle hair washing is usually allowed after the dressing comes off on day 2–3. Wait about 4 weeks before dyeing your hair or using hot styling tools.
Yes. Lifting the brow smooths horizontal forehead lines, and the frown muscles between the brows can be softened during the operation.
Most patients are between 35 and 65. Your brow position and forehead height matter more than your age.
Plan about 7 days. Stitches or clips are removed and your surgeon checks you before you fly home.
It can be, if your provider is licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, your surgeon is named and qualified, you are operated on in an accredited hospital and you stay long enough before flying. MAYCLINIK holds licence AK-0086.
