Lifting your upper eyelids and brows

During the Dr Hodgkinson – brow lift surgery Sydney, the surgeon will make a small incision right above the brow, and he will then lift and tighten the skin above your eyes.

The recovery for the upper eyelid lasts about a week while the recovery period after a brow lift can last from ten to fourteen days.
