Brow Lift

Looking rested and alert goes a long way toward making a person look youthful. But some of the earliest signs of aging—sagging brows and a wrinkled forehead—can defeat that look no matter how well-rested you actually are. Turning back the clock is possible by restoring the youthful contours of your forehead through a brow lift, sometimes called a forehead lift. Dr. Dax Guenther specializes in facial rejuvenation surgery for patients seeking a younger appearance that looks natural. Our two locations serve patients from Boston, Hingham, and Nantucket.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

Gravity and heredity are the 2 primary culprits for sagging brows, but a brow lift offers an excellent way to reverse their effects, restoring the brows to an elevated position and smoothing the forehead. When you consult with Dr. Dax about the procedure, he’ll discuss the options available and explain that people get brow lifts to:

  • Remove and lift sagging skin that creates a grumpy, sad, or tired appearance
  • Smooth deep, horizontal forehead grooves
  • Minimize the frown lines and furrows between the eyebrows

A brow lift is a reliable way to rejuvenate the upper portion of your face.

Endoscopic Brow Lift vs. Traditional

Dr. Dax performs both endoscopic and traditional (open) brow lift techniques, selecting the approach that best matches your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Endoscopic brow lifts use several small incisions hidden within the hairline and are ideal for patients who want a less invasive option with minimal scarring. Traditional brow lifts involve a longer incision but allow for more extensive lifting and reshaping when needed.

Regardless of the technique, Dr. Dax takes great care to conceal incisions within or behind the hairline and to tailor each procedure for natural-looking, refreshed results. These surgeries take place in the operating room, and anesthesia and recovery planning will depend on whether the brow lift is performed alone or with additional procedures. Dr. Dax will discuss all of these details during your consultation.

Combining Procedures

To achieve balanced and comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Dr. Dax may combine your brow lift with other procedures. Many patients choose to pair a brow lift with a facelift or mid-face lift as part of a single operation. He also frequently performs brow lift and eyelid surgery together to correct excess eyelid skin and refresh the upper face, always addressing the brow first to ensure the most natural outcome.

What Does a Brow Lift Cost?

Because the cost of plastic surgery procedures depends on several factors, including a patient’s specific physical characteristics, it’s not possible to provide a specific price for brow lift surgery here. You will receive a personalized quote as part of your consultation. The total cost of cosmetic surgery includes:

  • Surgeon’s fee
  • Hospital or surgical facility costs
  • Anesthesia fees
  • Prescription medications
  • Medical tests

Cost is an important consideration for most patients, but it shouldn’t be the main factor influencing the choice of your surgeon. Selecting an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who has a track record of successful results will significantly increase the chances you will be satisfied with your outcome.

Recovery & Results

Brow lift surgery patients may be able to go home the same day, while patients combining brow and facelift procedures typically stay overnight in a recovery area to facilitate comfort and care.

For the first few days, patients should have a friend or family member available at home to aid them so the focus remains on recovery.

Patients are seen in the office between days 5 and 7 for suture removal, and again at 2 weeks, at which point they can typically go out in public comfortably. They are also cleared to begin non-strenuous lower-body exercise at this time. At 6 weeks, activities are unrestricted, and patients can enjoy their rejuvenated appearance.
