Mr Reza Nassab, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, performs brow lift surgery at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, with consultations at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester (and at CLNQ in Knutsford). The procedure aims to lift a low or heavy brow to a more natural position, reducing hooding over the upper eyelids. Patients travel from across Greater Manchester and the North West, with follow-up appointments arranged locally in Manchester.
Brow lift in brief
A brow lift repositions the eyebrows and forehead soft tissue that have descended with age or were naturally low. Depending on your anatomy, Mr Nassab may recommend an endoscopic approach through short incisions hidden in the hair, a temporal lift concentrating on the outer brow, a hairline approach for those with a tall forehead, or a direct incision just above the brow in selected cases. Surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic or sedation and usually takes one to two hours, often as a day case. It is frequently combined with upper eyelid surgery when both the brow and eyelid skin contribute to heaviness.
Your consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
Your first appointment is with Mr Nassab himself. He will ask what bothers you when you look in the mirror, review your medical history and examine the brow, forehead, eyelids and hairline while you sit upright. He will explain which technique suits you, what a realistic outcome looks like, the scars you can expect and the potential risks. You will have time to ask questions and are encouraged to take time to decide; a second consultation is available before committing. The consultation fee is £150, charged separately from the cost of surgery, which is from £11,500.
Surgery day at Deansgate Hospital
On the day, you will meet the nursing team, your consultant anaesthetist and Mr Nassab, who will re-check the plan and mark the brows with you sitting up. After the operation you will recover on the ward until you are comfortable, eating and drinking. Most brow lift patients go home the same day with a responsible adult, although an overnight stay may be advised if procedures are combined. You will leave with written aftercare instructions, pain relief and details of how to contact the team at any time.
Follow-up in Manchester
Aftercare continues in Manchester. A nurse or Mr Nassab will usually see you at around one week to check the incisions and remove clips or stitches, then again in the following weeks and months to monitor healing and the brow position. Being local makes it straightforward to be reviewed promptly if you have any concern. Our brow lift recovery guide explains what to expect week by week.
Travelling from Greater Manchester and the North West
Patients come from Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham and further afield across Lancashire, Merseyside and Yorkshire. If you are travelling some distance, plan for someone to drive you home after surgery, since you must not drive yourself, and consider how you will get to your one-week appointment. If you live nearer to Cheshire, consultations are also available at CLNQ in Knutsford; see brow lift in Cheshire.
Is a brow lift right for you?
You may be suited to a brow lift if your eyebrows sit low, you notice hooding that improves when you lift your brows with a fingertip, or you find yourself raising your forehead to see clearly. You should be in good general health, a non-smoker or willing to stop, and have realistic expectations. Cosmetic surgery is for adults aged 18 and over. Read more about sagging eyebrows and the risks of brow lift surgery before your appointment.
Aftercare and safety
You will be given a direct contact number for the team. Contact them the same day for fever or increasing redness around an incision, and urgently if one side of the forehead or eye swells rapidly or becomes very painful. Sudden calf pain or leg swelling needs same-day advice from your GP or NHS 111, and chest pain or breathlessness requires a 999 call.
