Brow lifts, also called forehead lifts, are an increasingly popular way to make you appear more youthful, alert, and content. Many women and men considering a brow lift or other facial plastic surgery in the era of Zoom meetings want to know if cosmetic surgery is within their budgets. The cost of a brow lift at our Scottsdale, Arizona, practice typically ranges from $7,000 to $9,000, depending on various factors.
Factors Influencing the Price of a Brow Lift
When you compare the cost of a brow lift at our practice with other practices, it’s essential to know what’s included in the quoted price. Factors influencing the cost of a brow lift include the:
- Training and experience of the surgeon: A double board-certified facial plastic surgeon whose experience and training are focused exclusively on facial plastic surgery has a level of expertise that general plastic surgeons cannot match. You can also see what actual patients say in reviews posted on independent websites.
- Technique used: Facial plastic surgeons use different brow lift techniques based on your needs, including a less invasive approach for younger patients.
- Type of anesthesia: Plastic surgeons may use a general anesthetic with a board-certified physician anesthesiologist or a local anesthetic with intravenous sedation.
- Time in the operating room: A more extensive procedure or one that’s combined with other procedures requires more time in our AAAHC-accredited surgical center.
- Choice to combine a forehead lift with other procedures: Brow lift patients often combine the procedure with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Your Brow Lift Options
One of the factors affecting the cost of a brow lift is the technique used.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
I generally perform forehead lifts using a small camera called an endoscope that’s inserted through small incisions hidden in your hairline. During the procedure, I watch a monitor and maneuver the endoscope to reposition the muscles, then lift and tighten the skin to appear smoother without looking unnatural.
Lateral Subcutaneous Brow Lift
This technique is an option if you have only a small amount of drooping at the outside, or lateral portions, of your brow. This less invasive technique involves making incisions in the hairline and then lifting only the lateral brow.
Getting a Brow Lift in Scottsdale
A plastic surgery practice’s geographic location also influences the cost of a brow lift or other procedures. For example, if you live in Los Angeles, you’ll likely pay more for plastic surgery than in smaller cities. In fact, patients often travel from L.A. to the Scottsdale-Phoenix area for brow lift surgery at our practice.
