The Brow Reset at RefinedMD is a minimally invasive surgical approach to brow repositioning that uses small, hairline-hidden incisions and endoscopic visualization to restore natural brow position and correct brow laxity without the visible signs of a surgical forehead lift.
When performed by Dr. Roy at our Los Gatos, CA practice, a brow lift does not alter the natural brow shape. The procedure:
The goal is to restore the brows to their youthful position while also addressing loose forehead skin and brow heaviness. This approach produces results that patients describe as refreshed rather than altered.
“Dr. Roy is an excellent, caring, extremely knowledgeable professional on all levels. I’ve had several procedures in his care and he is awesome.”

Dr. Roy’s personable bedside manner inspires the confidence and trust of our facial plastic surgery patients. A graduate of Stanford University, Dr. Roy completed a rigorous 5-year residency focused exclusively on facial plastic surgery and fellowship training with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS).
Meet Dr. Sudeep RoyDr. Roy uses modern advancements in brow lift techniques, enabling him to perform more precise and less invasive procedures. Dr. Roy offers several state-of-the-art options tailored to your unique needs:
People typically envision this procedure when they hear “brow lift”—lifting the full brow area. An endoscopic brow lift achieves this with minimal downtime and scarring. Top facial plastic surgeons favor this approach because the incisions are small and hidden within the hairline. It’s performed using a small endoscope attached to a camera. Dr. Roy has performed endoscopic brow repositioning procedures for more than a decade, integrating the procedure into complex facial rejuvenation surgical plans across diverse patient anatomies and age ranges.
If you want a reminder of what your natural brows should look like, look at photos from your youth. You might notice that your eyebrows have lowered as you’ve aged, but not the entire brow. The outer brow tends to “fall” more than the rest of your brow. This is especially common in your 40s and 50s, but it can also occur at a younger age.
A lateral brow lift targets the outer third of the eyebrows and is ideal for correcting drooping at the outer corners while maintaining a soft, natural appearance.
In cases of significant brow asymmetry or pronounced sagging, a direct brow lift may be advised. Although this technique involves incisions just above the brows, careful placement and precise suturing result in discreet scars.
A brow lift offers more than just elevated brows—it revitalizes your entire expression. Benefits include:
These subtle yet impactful changes can boost your confidence and help you look as vibrant as you feel.
A good candidate for a brow lift is someone with drooping or asymmetrical brows, forehead lines, or hooded upper eyelids who is in good health and seeking a more refreshed, youthful appearance. During your consultation at RefinedMD, Dr. Roy will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals to determine the best approach. Currently, 15 to 20% of Dr. Roy’s facelift patients elect to include a brow reset as part of their surgical plan.
Depending on the technique, Dr. Roy performs brow lift surgery with the patient under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Sedation is a “lighter” form of anesthesia, with patients being extremely relaxed and sleepy but not unconscious. The procedure typically lasts 1 to 2 hours. Dr. Roy ensures that every step is executed precisely for natural-looking results.
Brow lift recovery typically takes 10 to 14 days for initial healing, with residual swelling and refinement continuing to improve over several weeks. It depends partly on the technique used. Most bruising and swelling subside in 1 to 2 weeks, with sutures or staples removed after a week. You can resume low-impact activities in 2 weeks and high-impact workouts or activities in 3 or 4 weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 7 to 10 days of their procedure.
The cost of a brow lift depends on the extent of the procedure, the surgeon’s training and experience, and several other factors. When you come to RefinedMD in Los Gatos for a brow lift consultation with Dr. Roy, we’ll provide a detailed price quote that you can review before scheduling your surgery.
