Read these photos well

What to look for in brow lift photos.

  1. 01

    Brow height and shape

    Check where the brow sits over the eye and whether the arch still looks like the same person.

  2. 02

    The upper lids

    A higher brow can lift heavy upper lids. Look at how much lid shows in both photos.

  3. 03

    A forehead at rest

    Raising the eyebrows on purpose fakes a lift. Compare pairs where the forehead is relaxed.

  4. 04

    The hairline

    Some brow lifts move the hairline. Look at the height of the forehead in both frames.

Every answer names its source. Each guide shows the prices, studies and patient videos behind it.

Who it suits

What does a brow lift (forehead lift) change, and what can’t it change?

A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, raises brows that have dropped onto the upper eyelids, and ASPS estimates US plastic surgeons did 15,506 of them in 2025. Cleveland Clinic says it won’t change your eye shape or fix baggy eyelids, because it works on the brows and forehead.

What it costs

How much does a brow lift cost?

ASPS’s cost page puts the average brow lift (forehead lift) at $5,460, the figure its 2023 statistics report gives for 2023, and says that leaves out anesthesia, the operating room and other costs.

Recovery

How long is brow lift (forehead lift) recovery?

ASPS says most people are ready to return to work and normal activity 10 to 14 days after a brow lift (forehead lift), and that complete recovery may take several months. The Aesthetic Society says you will likely be back at work after a week, and Johns Hopkins says many patients go back in two weeks.

Questions for my Brow Lift consultation

Personal planning edition

  1. 1Which of the things I see in my brows, forehead and lids would a brow lift change, and which would it leave as they are?
  2. 2Is your price the surgeon’s fee alone, or does it include anesthesia, the facility and the follow-up visits?
  3. 3For the approach you’re planning, which dates should I plan around for work, driving, exercise and being seen in public?
  4. 4When you lift my brow into place by hand, how much of the hooding is still there?
  5. 5Does this endoscopic price include the fixation devices, the facility and anesthesia, or are they billed on their own?

Before you go

Loading map

Decide how far you would travel for the right work.

Compare several results from each practice. Then check the provider, consultation, travel, and follow-up plan.

Find brow lift practices

Answer the questions the photos cannot.

Use these answers for a first pass. A qualified surgeon still needs to examine you, hear what you want, and explain the tradeoffs.

Are these Brow Lift before and after photos real?+

Each result is tied to the practice that supplied or published it. Afters does not independently verify every consent record, image history, surgeon, or outcome. If a case matters to you, ask the practice who performed it, when the photos were taken, and whether the patient gave permission for publication.

When are Brow Lift after photos usually taken?+

The useful after photos are taken once swelling has settled, often well after the 1-2 weeks downtime window. Early afters can look tight, high, or puffy. Ask when every photo was taken.

What should I look for in Brow Lift before and after photos?+

Start with befores that share relevant features, then compare consistent angles, similar starting point, natural transitions. Published examples help you form questions; they do not verify the treating provider or predict your outcome.

Will my Brow Lift results look like these?+

Your anatomy, skin, and treatment plan shape the outcome. Use these photos to find a direction, then ask a surgeon what is realistic for you.

How do I find a surgeon whose brow lift work fits me?+

Open the profile that published a result you like and compare several examples. Then ask who treated each case, whether it is comparable to yours, and how the image was documented.

Keep doing the homework

A result is only one part of the decision.

01

Understand the real cost

Typical range: $5,000–$10,000. See what moves a quote up or down.

02

Picture the recovery

Plan around roughly 1-2 weeks. Learn how healing changes what you see.

03

Find the work near you

Compare results from practices in your area.
