Techniques named for brow lift: temporal brow lift.
Coronal Brow Lift : This traditional method involves an incision across the top of the head, from ear to ear, hidden within the hair. It allows for significant lifting and repositioning of the forehead skin, making it suitable for patients with substantial sagging.
While most patients will combine a temporal brow lift with an eyelid lift, not all patients will. On its own, a temporal brow lift is a simple procedure with little down time.
While most patients will combine a temporal brow lift with an eyelid lift, not all patients will.
The goal of brow lift surgery is to reposition and stabilize the brows to a more natural position and shape, restoring the harmony of the upper third of the face.
Temporal or Limited Incision Brow Lift : Often performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery, this technique involves slightly longer incisions than the endoscopic lift, targeting the outer edges of the eyebrows.
The benefits of this brow lift technique compared to others are numerous, such as reduced down time, shorter easily hidden incisions, and less risk for complications. The temporal brow lift results in a patient looking refreshed and more youthful.

Brow Lift generally runs $4,000–$9,000 per procedure, and each Cary 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 Cary clinics for a personalized quote.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Cary 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.
