A brow lift is a cosmetic plastic surgery that can turn the clock back on aging. As a result of the natural aging process, the skin around our eyes begins to lose elasticity, leaving us with droopy brows and wrinkled foreheads. Brow lifts aim to restore a youthful and well-rested appearance to your face.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of a brow lift was $3,623 in 2018. This average does not factor in all variables associated with this procedure. You can expect an individualized quote that includes all related costs at your consultation with Dr. Stein.
What Goes Into the Cost?
The total cost of your brow lift will depend on the extent of your procedure – which technique is used, operating time involved, and the type of anesthesia needed.
Other factors contributing to your overall cost include:
- Medical tests
- Hospital or surgical facility costs
- Anesthesia fees
- Post-surgery garments
- Prescriptions for medications
- Geographic location
- Surgeon’s fee
Surgeon’s fees are determined by his or her experience. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial for minimizing postoperative complications and recovery time. Generally, insurance does not cover brow lifts since they are considered a cosmetic procedure. In some cases, when vision is impaired, part of the cost may be covered if the procedure is proven to be medically necessary.
Complementary Procedures
In many cases, brow lift surgery may be performed with other procedures, allowing certain costs to be combined. If your surgery also includes a facelift or eyelid lift, you’ll only pay the anesthesia fee and facility fee once, reducing your total expenses.
Endoscopic Brow Lifts at Stein Plastic Surgery
Brow lift surgeries are typically completed using one of the three incision methods. A coronal brow lift involves an incision behind your hairline, from ear to ear on the top of your head. Patients with high hairlines or thinning hair should avoid this method. Hairline brow lift incisions are made between the top of your forehead and hairline, where a small amount of skin is removed.
At Stein Plastic Surgery, patients can expect a more advanced, minimally-invasive technique that results in less swelling and recovery time. Endoscopic brow lifts consist of tiny incisions along the hairline which result in minimal, easily-concealable scarring. Using the endoscopic brow lift technique, Dr. Stein has helped countless patients achieve natural-looking results.
Is A Brow Lift Right For Me?
The best way to know if a brow lift is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Stein, a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon. During your personal consultation, he will get to know your aesthetic goals and evaluate your facial structure. After answering any questions you may have and taking the time to ensure you understand all aspects of the procedure, Dr. Stein will customize a surgical and recovery plan to achieve your desired results.
I am beyond happy with my facelift and brow lift!!! Dr. Stein did an incredible job and I look 15 years younger, but everything looks completely natural and no one can notice that I’ve had anything more than a new haircut. I love Dr. Stein and his wonderful staff.
