What Is Brow Lift Surgery?
A brow lift, also known as a browplasty or forehead lift, is a popular cosmetic procedure that helps create a lifted brow appearance, which offers a younger look to the upper section of the face. A drooping brow can frequently cause a tired or angry appearance. A browplasty surgically corrects a sagging brow to create a refreshed face by removing excess skin while lifting the eyebrows. Our skilled surgical team has been performing brow lift surgeries on both women and men for many years. The result reveals a younger and smoother facial contour. In addition, dermal fillers and BOTOX are often included with a brow lift at Plastic Surgery Vegas for optimal results, creating a softer appearance.

Am I A Good Candidate For A Brow Lift?
As we age, skin laxity decreases and causes many aspects of the face to begin to sag. This is especially important in the upper face region and usually impacts women and men.

Brow Lift Reviews
I first went to Dr. Silver for a consultation in October of 2021. After much thought and seeing several other Dr. Offices I chose Plastic Surgery Vegas. I had a Browlift, Blepharoplasty, and Dermabrasion. I very much appreciated the efficient way the office is ran. It is a very welcoming office. Dr. Silver took the time to address all of my concerns. His staff is very kind and understanding. If you follow all instructions you will have a great outcome, as I did. I healed very fast, and with minimal down time. I am very happy with my decision. I also appreciate the post op visits. He is very thorough with every thing he does. I highly recommend him to anyone considering any procedure. Thank you again Dr. Silver.
I had an upper blepharoplasty and brow lift done by Dr. Silver last month. The results have exceeded my expectations! He is truly gifted at what he does. I feel like a younger version of myself and this has ultimately boosted my confidence! The entire experience from the front of the house staff to the surgical staff were amazing!! I felt like they genuinely cared about me and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process.
I love Dr. Silver and he has an extremely kind staff. I had upper eye lift surgery last year but it didn’t feel quite done. She recommended Dr. Silver. He’s an extremely detailed doctor plus he made me feel 100% safe in his hands. I’m only one month out. I can already see so many lovely improvements and I can’t wait for three months to see the “big” change. Four befores and one at two weeks. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Silver. I got a lateral brow lift, lower face lift and a very needed neck lift. Very fairly priced and he’s my guy from now on. BOOK NOW!
I recently had the pleasure of undergoing a lower and upper blepharoplasty, a browlift, and a fat transposition performed by Dr. Silver, a skilled and compassionate surgeon. All said and done, I wish I would’ve come to him 20 years earlier, the results are outstanding and beyond my expectations. The moment I stepped into the office, I was greeted by a warm and friendly staff who made me feel at ease. I cannot stress enough how wonderful the staff are at Plastic Surgery Vegas. Dr. Silver's expertise in the field was evident throughout the entire process. Not only did Dr. Silver thoroughly explain the procedure and address any concerns I had, but his meticulous attention to detail during surgery left me with exceptional results. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Silver for his exceptional work and highly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery.
I have been a patient of Vegas Plastic Surgery since 2005, and recently had an endoscopic brow lift, upper bleph and fat transfer performed by Dr. Silver. Dr. Silver and the entire team are absolutely incredible! They made me feel like the most important person in the room and their care was top-notch from start to finish. Dr. Silver is meticulous, thoughtful, and caring. He took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions, making me feel valued and never rushed, as if I was his only patient for the day. Can’t thank you all enough for such an amazing experience! ✨

How is A Brow Lift Performed?
Before the procedure, anesthesia is used. This may be done under general anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the extent of the procedure. The incision technique used during a brow lift is determined, depending on the degree of sag, if the forehead is affected, and the appearance of the hairline. Some of the different techniques to consider:
- Traditional Incision
Also known as the open lift incision, this puts the incision behind the hairline at the top of the head. The traditional incision not only hides scarring, but it allows a certain amount of controlled lifting during the procedure. The open incision is good for those with both frown lines and a sagging brow. This is the better method if you are concerned about a receding hairline. - Trichophytic Incision
This incision is made right against the patient's hairline. A trichophytic incision permits significant lifting of the brow for patients who have a strong hairline with little risk for recession. - Lateral Brow Lift
Also called a temporal browplasty, the lateral method sets the incision inside the hairline slightly above the temples. The lateral incision permits the outer sections of the brow to be treated and is best for sagging that is visible in the outer brows. The lateral technique also helps to smooth Crow’s feet. - Endoscopic Forehead Lift
The endoscopic lift is a more modern method employed in a brow lift. This method places several tiny incisions beyond the hairline and inserts the endoscope, which is pushed down to the eyebrow to release its attachments. Through the endoscope's camera, the brow tissue is repositioned using stitches to place the brow in a better position.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a brow lift or facelift?
Whether you should get a brow lift or full facelift will depend on where you have sagging skin, as well as your goals. You should openly talk about your concerns during your consultation so we can help you decide which treatment is best. Many patients come in wanting a full facelift discover they only need a brow lift and vice versa. With our extensive experience, our team can confidently help you create your unique treatment plan to give you your best results.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
There are many nonsurgical options, including laser skin tightening and injectables (like Juvéderm and BOTOX), that can provide mild improvements. However, brow lift surgery is better for longer-lasting results and significant improvements. In your consultation, we can go over both your surgical and nonsurgical options so you can decide which is better for you.
What technique should I choose?
We will go over brow lift surgery techniques during your consultation to help you know the benefits of each. We will then help you choose the best technique for your needs and goals. Some of the factors that might influence your choice are your hairline (factoring in both your current hairline, as well as your risk of developing a receding hairline), the degree of skin sagging, and recovery time available.
Will my results look natural?
We will create your treatment plan for your needs and goals to help you look refreshed and younger, not tight or frozen. During your surgery, we will concentrate on removing excess skin. The remaining tissue and skin will be smoothed so your results don't lift your eyebrows too high or limit your facial expressions.
What Should I Expect After Brow Lift Surgery?
The recovery period following a brow lift varies in each patient with the majority of discomfort and swelling reported with the open approach compared to the endoscopic or temporal methods. In general, there will be slight bruising and swelling in the upper face around the eyebrows and sometimes near the eyes. Cold compresses may help to diminish the swelling. We recommend patients sleep upright for at least three nights following their surgery. It is important to avoid any movement or activities that may put pressure on the face. The average recovery time from a brow lift is about 2 – 3 weeks. The outcome can usually be seen immediately with a rejuvenated appearance that seems softer, more alert, and with a visible improvement in sagging skin and fine lines in the upper half of the face.
