Techniques named for brow lift: Coronal Brow Lift.
Dr. Vartany performs brow lift surgery using general anesthesia. He makes small incisions within the hairline.
A Forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide a smoother overall look to the face.
An alternative brow lift technique is the Coronal Brow Lift.
Sometimes, patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery find that a forehead lift better meets their surgical goals.
Brow Lift generally runs $4,000–$9,000 per procedure, and each Burbank clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Burbank clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Burbank providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Burbank providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
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.
