Introduction
Your skin loses elasticity as you age, and your eyebrows sink lower. Combined with years of repeated facial expressions, you’ve got forehead lines and wrinkles. Dustin Heringer, MD, is a board-certified oculofacial plastic and cosmetic surgeon at Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery, which offers brow lifts for men and women in Arizona. When your lowered eyebrows make you look tired, mad, or sad all the time, a brow lift can rejuvenate your forehead and bring back a happy, more youthful appearance.

A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that lifts your eyebrows and reduces the signs of aging. Dr. Heringer raises soft tissue and smoothes out wrinkled skin on your forehead, improving the appearance of the area around your eyes. A brow lift can be a stand-alone procedure or combined with blepharoplasty for an overall rejuvenated appearance in the upper portion of your face.
When you have a sagging or heavy brow line, you may appear tired, angry, or worried, even when you aren’t. A brow lift directly addresses these concerns, reduces the deeply furrowed brow, and lifts muscle, skin, and soft tissue for a smoother, refreshed appearance. Some of the benefits of a brow lift include:
A brow lift may also help if you have sagging skin above your eyes. For total rejuvenation of your eyes and forehead, you may benefit from a brow lift and blepharoplasty — surgery to improve the appearance of drooping eyelids. Dr. Heringer takes an artistic, minimally invasive approach to your individual brow lift so you get natural-looking results and minimal scarring.
The best candidates for a brow lift will be those who feel their brow area and upper forehead sagging and need a lift. The best candidates for a brow lift in Scottsdale will have some of the following characteristics:
Your Brow Lift Surgery Journey with Dr. Dustin Heringer
If you are considering getting a brow lift in Scottsdale, AZ, your first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Heringer, our board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, at Arizona Ocular & Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Heringer will discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, and expectations during the appointment. He will then examine your upper face, specifically your forehead, as he outlines the procedure and its associated risks and benefits.
If you both decide to proceed with the procedure, Dr. Heringer will create your surgical plan, which will include the best techniques for you, the type and amount of anesthesia, and every other aspect of the procedure. If you are satisfied with the plan, you will meet with our patient coordinator for scheduling and payment options. At this time, they will also share pre-operative instructions for an optimum procedure and recovery.
On the day of your brow lift surgery in Scottsdale, Dr. Heringer and his staff will welcome you and review your surgical plan to make sure there are no outlying questions or concerns. They will then get you settled in the procedure room or operating room. Once you give the go-ahead, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer anesthesia to ensure that you are pain-free throughout the surgery.
Dr. Heringer uses state-of-the-art technology for all his procedures; a brow lift is no exception. Different surgical techniques are used depending on your situation, but he often uses a tiny surgical camera called an endoscope to make small incisions along your hairline.
This technique minimizes visible scars and allows Dr. Heringer to insert the endoscope just below the surface of your skin. The endoscope displays images on a screen, allowing Dr. Heringer to lift the underlying muscle and tissue for a firmer, smoother forehead and browline.
He closes the tiny incisions, and although you’ll have some bruising and swelling immediately afterward, recovery time is just a week to ten days.
An endoscopic brow lift will take around one to one and a half hours to complete.
Your Guide to Post-Brow Lift Surgery Care
After your brow lift procedure, you will be monitored in the recovery room. You should be able to return home the same day with a family member or friend driving you.
Patients are recommended to take time off from work and their normal routine for the first week as swelling and bruising resolve. During this time, they are also encouraged to keep their head elevated.
A brow lift procedure results in some scarring, as with all surgical procedures. However, the incision area is designed to hide the scars within or at the hairline.
The cost of a Brow Lift in Phoenix & Scottsdale, AZ, will vary depending on the techniques used, Dr. Heringer’s fees, and anesthesia costs, among other factors.
