Men and women of all ages can benefit from brow lift plastic surgery – also known as a forehead lift – to create a more defined arch and smooth the forehead. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Michelle Sieffert has perfected the brow lift surgery by giving her patients a natural and youthful look to the upper face. With a forehead lift, you’ll see beautiful results without eyebrow-raising changes.
A brow lift can help you look years younger by tightening the upper face. Brow lifts reduce wrinkles and loose skin above your brow. If desired, a brow lift can also give you a more pronounced arch as well. If you ever worry that your resting expression appears tired or upset, a brow lift can help you look more alert. On top of those aesthetic benefits, incisions are typically in the hairline or blended into the hairline, so scars are not visible.
Eyebrow lifts enhance the appearance from the eyebrows and up. The forehead skin is lifted, and excess skin is removed to create a permanently lifted look. Brow lifts are customizable. Whether you want to permanently correct forehead creases, lift sagging brows, or balance out asymmetrical brows, Dr. Sieffert will create a plan designed around your specific goals.
Brow lifts are a great way to achieve a smooth forehead and lift the upper face in a long-lasting way. That is how the surgery earned a 91% “Worth It” rating on RealSelf.com out of nearly 800 reviews. Forehead lifts are effective at independently treating specific concerns, but forehead lifts are also often combined with other surgeries/procedures if a patient has other concerns. It is important to consult with a credentialed Board Certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure that a brow lift is going to help you meet all of your goals.
Dr. Sieffert champions endoscopic brow lifting, a technique that has eliminated the need for large scalp incisions. Instead, an endoscope (surgical video device) and narrow instruments are placed through small incisions made within the hairline. This allows the tissue and muscle beneath the skin to be repositioned, altered, or removed. Ultimately your results will reflect a correction of visible creases and furrows in the forehead.
Recovery from a brow lift is quick. The night of your surgery, you will feel tired from anesthesia, but the day after your brow lift, you will feel like getting up and moving around. However, you will have physical restrictions after your brow lift that are set in place by your surgeon. These will periodically be lifted throughout the month following surgery. After about 5-7 days (and once you are completely off pain medication), you can begin driving again. After 2 weeks, you can resume normal bending, lifting, and household chores. At the 3-week mark, you can then begin exercising again and activity restrictions are fully lifted.
All sutures are dissolvable, so you won’t have to come into the office for them to be removed. You will have periodic follow-up appointments with the surgical team, and we are always here if you need anything between appointments.
With all surgeries and procedures performed at Donaldson Plastic Surgery, your plan is customized to meet your needs. The cost is not one size fits all, because your surgery is not one size fits all. Keep in mind that the cost of surgery is a direct reflection of the skill of your surgeon. It’s your face, so investing in an excellent facial plastic surgeon is a must.
Since there are a variety of brow lifts, the price range is wide. Brow lifts/forehead lifts typically range from $7,500 – $10,000. The price is completely dependent on your unique plan. Dr. Sieffert’s surgical team will provide you with an exact quote for your plan(s) during your consultation.
Brow lifts address the corner of the eyes and up, eyelid surgery addresses just eyelid skin, and facelifts address the corner of the mouth and down. Oftentimes, facial procedures are combined. A combination of brow lift and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) will give you an eye-opening, full upper-face rejuvenation.
A brow lift/facelift combination is an excellent solution for anti-aging. If there is excess skin or sagging in the lower portion of the face, then the same is likely for the upper portion.
Dr. Sieffert specializes in facial plastic surgery, and it is clear why. She understands that surgeries are never one size fits all, especially when it comes to the face.

She will discuss the benefits of each and their differences, and then you will work together to finalize your unique plan.
