Brow lift surgery is performed while you are under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Often, the surgery also results in minimal visible scarring through the use of advanced endoscopic techniques.
You may opt to combine your brow lift with another facial rejuvenation procedure for a more comprehensive result. Some popular options include facelift and eyelid lift .
An endoscopic browlift is performed to restore a more naturally youthful appearance and less fatigued look while maintaining or improving visual function.
The most common type of brow lift uses endoscopes and small incisions that are placed within the hair bearing scalp.

Results vary by patient, but most La Jolla providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Brow Lift series.
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.
