Brow Lift Procedure
Over time, sagging skin and lines on the forehead can create a constantly tired and angry appearance — and can also prematurely age your face. At Stephens Plastic Surgery + Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge, brow lift surgery is an excellent option to refresh and revitalize your appearance.
WHAT IS A BROW LIFT?
Over the years, the brow can descend lower and lower and begin to look heavier due to loss of skin elasticity, sun damage, and use of muscles. This causes the face to look more aged as time goes by. A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, offers a rejuvenated look that is more youthful and attractive.
BENEFITS OF A BROW LIFT
- Reduces wrinkle lines that develop across the forehead, on the bridge of the nose, and around the eyes
- Improves vertical frown lines in between the eyebrows
- Lifts a sagging forehead
- Eliminates hooding on the upper eyelids
- Places eyebrows in a more youthful position
- Delivers a rejuvenated, younger-looking appearance
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A BROW LIFT?
If you’re considering brow lift surgery, you may be a perfect candidate. Brow lift surgery is typically performed on those who have visible signs of aging or loose skin in the forehead area. During your consultation with Dr. Stephens, factors such as your health, medical history, cosmetic goals and expectations will be evaluated in order to determine if brow lift surgery is right for you. The best candidates for a brow lift are those who:
Are bothered by their sad, angry, or tired expression
Are bothered by horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, and sagging skin
Are non-smokers in overall good health, with no major medical conditions

COST OF A BROW LIFT PROCEDURE
The cost of brow lift surgery at Stephens Plastic Surgery ranges from $4,440 to $5,040, providing a clear understanding of the investment required for this transformative procedure. This surgery is designed to address sagging or drooping brows, creating a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Recognizing that such enhancements may involve financial considerations, Stephens Plastic Surgery also offers financing options to ensure that individuals can pursue their aesthetic goals with flexibility.
BROW LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS
During a typical brow lift procedure, a discreet incision is placed behind the hairline and around the ears, allowing Dr. Stephens full access to the underlying forehead structure underneath the skin with minimal scarring. For patients who are bald or have thinning hair, these incisions will be adjusted accordingly. In order to tighten and firm the brow, Dr. Stephens will surgically remove tissues and adjust the muscles. Excess skin on the forehead is trimmed and the remaining skin is re-draped. The incision sites are then sutured or clipped.
In some cases, brow lift surgery can be paired with other surgical procedures in order to enhance your results. The options that are available will be discussed during your initial visit with us.
WHAT RESULTS TO EXPECT
After surgery, your new forehead contours will be protected with gauze or bandages. Initial wound healing can take anywhere from 10-14 days, and the sutures will be removed once you’ve healed properly.
Although most patients are able to return to work and normal activities after two weeks, everyone is different. During your consultation with us, we will advise you on how much time you should realistically take off work to ensure proper healing. Brow lift results are usually visible at three weeks and will look better and better until results are reached at approximately four months.
