The full brow lift is usually done under sedation in the operating room, whereas the limited (mini) brow lift can be done in the office under local anesthesia.
A brow lift surgery is an outpatient procedure that minimizes the appearance of age by smoothing the forehead, raising the upper eye brows , and reducing the appearance of frown lines that are commonly found between the eye brows.
Essentially there are two reasons for brow lift: 1. to lift brow position and to open up the eye area, and 2. to weaken the muscles that cause squint and frown lines.
A brow lift is commonly performed upon patients in the age frame starting in their 40’s, however, some may consider the procedure at an earlier age as they may have inherited a heavy or low brow.
Essentially there are two reasons for brow lift: 1. to lift brow position and to open up the eye area, and 2. to weaken the muscles that cause squint and frown lines.
An open brow lift via a pretrichial incision (see above for description) is also known as hairline advancement or hairline surgery.
The full brow lift is usually done under sedation in the operating room, whereas the limited (mini) brow lift can be done in the office under local anesthesia.
Brow Lift generally runs $4,000–$9,000 per procedure, and each Albuquerque clinic sets its own price.

Maintenance schedules vary. Most Albuquerque providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Nationally, $4,000 to $9,000 including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility. Endoscopic lifts through small incisions in the hairline occupy most of that range. A limited temporal lift addressing only the outer brow runs lower. Combining a brow lift with eyelid surgery is common and costs less than staging the two operations separately.
This is the central question of the upper face, and plenty of people get the wrong operation. If the fold hanging over your eye is excess lid skin while the brow sits at its normal height, blepharoplasty is the answer. If the brow itself has descended and is pushing the lid down, removing lid skin leaves the heaviness and can pull the brow lower. The mirror test helps, and a surgeon who evaluates both routinely gives the honest answer. Many patients benefit from both together.
The startled look comes from overcorrection, lifting the brow past its natural position, and it was a hazard of older techniques that pulled hard on the forehead. Modern endoscopic lifts reposition the brow to where it sat in your thirties and secure it there. Reviewing a surgeon's results specifically for natural brow position is the practical safeguard.
A Botox brow lift relaxes the muscles that pull the brow down, buying a couple of millimeters for three to four months, and it is a reasonable preview or maintenance tool. Threads lift modestly and fade within a year or so. Surgery repositions the brow by a genuine amount and holds for a decade or more. The non-surgical options serve early or mild descent, and they cannot substitute for surgery once the brow truly sits low.
Endoscopic lifts use three to five incisions under an inch long, hidden behind the hairline, through which the surgeon releases and repositions the brow with a camera. Temporal lifts use small incisions at the temples. Older coronal techniques ran an incision across the top of the head and are now uncommon. Hairline position matters to the plan, so mention any concern about a high forehead in consultation.
