Elevate your brows and feel refreshed
A brow lift is a procedure that elevates the eyebrows to a more youthful, refreshed position while smoothing deep forehead lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows (frown lines). Dr. Morris performs this procedure using laser-assisted techniques that reduce swelling, bruising, and downtime. By lifting sagging brows and opening up the eye area, a brow lift can help you look more awake, approachable, and aligned with how you feel on the inside. The results are subtle, natural, and tailored to your unique facial structure.

Why Dr. Morris uses the UltraPulse® CO2 laser
Traditional brow lifts often require large incisions and have an increased risk of bruising and swelling. That’s why Dr. Morris uses the UltraPulse CO₂ laser to minimize trauma and maximize precision. This advanced laser allows her to lift and sculpt with exceptional accuracy, creating natural, balanced results with minimal downtime. As one of the most experienced CO₂ laser surgeons in the region, Dr. Morris blends surgical mastery with cutting-edge technology to deliver elevated outcomes that resonate with your features.
How a brow lift is done
Dr. Morris performs a laser-assisted endoscopic brow lift using the UltraPulse CO₂ laser. This involves creating 3-5 small incisions, typically less than 1 cm in length, placed within the scalp behind the hairline. Through these incisions, a specialized endoscope (a small camera) is inserted, allowing Dr. Morris to visualize the underlying forehead structures in detail. The UltraPulse CO₂ laser is used to make precise, bladeless incisions and elevate the brow by releasing and repositioning the frontalis muscle and soft tissue from the bone.
You’ll be comfortably sedated with local anesthesia and light IV sedation. Once the tissues are lifted to a more youthful position, they are secured using internal sutures. This minimally invasive approach reduces trauma, accelerates healing, and yields long-lasting results.
Benefits of laser-assisted brow lift:
- Smaller, hidden incisions placed behind the hairline
- Reduced bleeding and minimal bruising due to laser precision
- Less trauma to surrounding tissues for faster recovery
- Enhanced visualization with endoscopic guidance
- Lower risk of scarring compared to traditional techniques
- Natural-looking, long-lasting results tailored to your anatomy
- Performed under local anesthesia with light sedation for comfort
How do I know if I need a brow lift or eyelid surgery?
Your tired or heavy-eyed appearance can be due to sagging brows, excess eyelid skin, or both. A brow lift elevates the eyebrows and smooths the forehead, while an eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids. During your consultation for brow surgery in Gulf Shores, Dr. Morris will perform a detailed facial assessment to determine the true source of heaviness. In many cases, both procedures are performed together for the most natural and comprehensive result.
Brow Lift FAQs
Will I look surprised or overdone?
Absolutely not. Dr. Morris specializes in advanced techniques focusing on subtle refinement, not drastic changes. Her laser-assisted, endoscopic approach allows her to reposition the brows in a way that restores balance and openness without pulling or arching them unnaturally. You’ll simply look more refreshed, rested, and aligned with how you feel on the inside.
What is recovery like after a brow lift?
Recovery from a laser-assisted brow lift is typically quicker and more comfortable than traditional brow lift techniques. You may experience mild swelling, tightness, or bruising for a few days, but most patients return to non-strenuous work and daily activities within 7-10 days. Because Dr. Morris uses the UltraPulse CO₂ laser, the tissue trauma is significantly reduced, which means faster healing and less post-operative discomfort.
Will there be visible scars?
No, the incisions are small and placed strategically behind the hairline. Because the CO₂ laser creates bladeless incisions with minimal thermal damage, scarring is minimal and typically fades to the point of being undetectable. Dr. Morris also provides detailed scar care instructions to help optimize your healing process.
How long do the results last?
A laser-assisted brow lift delivers long-lasting results, often lasting 10 years or more, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and natural aging process. While no surgery can stop time, most patients enjoy a sustained improvement in brow position, forehead smoothness, and upper facial expression for many years.
