Aging is a significant change for most women. Some of us start to see it most around our eyes, which pains us because we want this to be our brightest part! You may find that you look tired or unhappy (even when you’re really not!) as your brows tend to move downwards and lose their youthful shape over time. Eyebrows frame your eyes, your personality, and balance your face, and we have just the thing to make sure you feel good about all three, brow lift!
After an in-depth consultation with Dr. Mason, you will walk out feeling reassured about your cosmetic surgery goals. She will prescribe a surgery plan designed with your health, physical, and mental well-being in mind. There are no one-size-fits-all plans at PPS. Each eyebrow lift plan is customized, so rest assured that what is designed for you is designed to deliver your best results.
A brow lift, also called forehead lift surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of the forehead, brows, and eye area by raising soft tissue and sagging skin. It addresses issues like low or sagging brows, unevenness, potentially boosting self-confidence.
The procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with other facial procedures like eyelid surgery or a face lift.
If your brow is too low and close to your eyes, you may be a good candidate for a brow lift. This may be the case if you find your upper face always has a tired or unhappy appearance. If your brow is very low, it can make your eyelids feel heavy and can even get in the way of your vision. Deep wrinkles across your forehead can be a sign that you have to work to lift your eyebrows up and that you may benefit from a brow lift procedure.
You may also benefit from a forehead lift procedure if you do not like the shape of your eyebrows. If your eyebrows slant down at the outside, giving you a more worried appearance, a brow lift can fix this and lift the outside edge of your eyebrow instead. There are many different reasons to pursue a brow lift, and Dr. Mason can elaborate for prospective patients in Las Vegas.
The brow lift techniques aim to diminish visible signs of aging, typically sought by individuals aged 40 to 60. Various techniques are employed, with common methods including:
After administering anesthesia, the surgeon creates an incision from ear to ear, typically starting at about ear level and crossing the top of the forehead. Alternatively, the incision may be placed at the hairline. Delicately lifting the forehead skin, the surgeon eliminates excess tissue and fat, and may realign muscles if needed. Adjustments to the eyebrow position may be made, and excess skin is trimmed during the procedure.
Endoscopic forehead lift utilizes small, discreet incisions concealed within the hair. Fiberoptic equipment delicately releases and elevates brow tissue. Bruising is typically minimal, and healing time is generally faster compared to traditional approaches for most patients.
Dr. Mason can perform this minimally invasive procedure in the office under local anesthesia. It’s a streamlined version of the endoscopic brow lift, offering excellent results with minimal downtime.
The initial healing period typically spans 10 to 14 days, and sutures or clips will be removed at the appropriate time. You can expect to resume work and normal activities within 10-14 days. If bruising is a concern, cosmetics can be used to camouflage it. Here are few more things to expect during the recovery process:
If you experience specific symptoms, contact the office promptly.
Brow lift surgery cost is exclusive of additional expenses such as anesthesia, operating room facilities, and related costs. To ascertain the final fee, consult your plastic surgeon’s office. The surgeon’s fee for brow lift surgery considers experience, procedure type, and geographic location.
Brow lift surgery and its complications are typically not covered by health insurance, but inquire about patient financing plans offered by many plastic surgeons.

Yes. Like any surgery, a brow lift will result in post-surgical scarring. Fortunately, visible scarring is kept to a minimum, thanks to discreetly placed incisions. Initial pink or raised scars near the hairline may be visible for a few months, but they tend to fade over time, becoming barely noticeable.

Surgical brow lifts yield results lasting an average of 10 to 12 years. While some patients may experience longer-lasting results, factors like age and skincare practices influence the ultimate duration of the treatment’s effectiveness.
A brow lift focuses on the forehead’s loose skin and soft tissue, while blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from upper and lower eyelids. While blepharoplasty/eyelid lift enhances the eyes’ appearance, it doesn’t reposition the eyebrows.
In the mini brow lift, small incisions are used to elevate underlying tissues off the forehead bone. Frown lines are released, allowing the brow to be lifted and positioned as desired. These minimal incisions heal rapidly, contributing to a natural appearance.
Yes. A brow lift can address hooded eyes caused by droopy eyebrows. The surgery lifts sagging eyebrows, reducing the heaviness over the upper eyelids and creating a wider-eyed youthful appearance.
