Techniques named for brow lift: Traditional Brow Lift Technique, Endoscopic Brow Lift Technique.
Following a brow lift procedure, patients do not typically experience a significant amount of pain following the surgery.
Dr. Hojjat performs brow lift surgery using either the traditional coronal technique for major brow elevation or the endoscopic method , a minimally invasive option that targets specific areas with less recovery time .
The temple lift (also known as a temporal brow lift ) is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to elevate the outer brow, soften crow’s feet, and tighten the area around the temples. It is often combined with an upper and lower blepharoplasty.
Blepharoplasty and brow lift surgery are frequently performed together on patients who have forehead wrinkles, brow sagging, and eyelid sagging.
Eyelid surgery is often combined with brow lift surgery for a full rejuvenation of the upper face.
Endoscopic Brow Lift Technique
Very similar to the minimal incision brow lift , this technique uses an endoscope inserted through a small incision in the scalp
During a brow lift Irvine plastic surgeon Dr. Smith will make a series of tiny incisions hidden within the hairline.
Yes. Many patients combine blepharoplasty with a facelift, brow lift, or skin treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation.
A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that elevates the position of the eyebrows and smooths out forehead wrinkles. This surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making small incisions above the hairline to access the underlying tissue.
Brow Lift generally runs $4,000–$9,000 per procedure, and each Irvine 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 Irvine clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Irvine providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Results vary by patient, but most Irvine providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Brow Lift series.
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.
