Brow Lift Cost: What to Expect
Candidates considering brow lift surgery may find it beneficial to see a breakdown of how brow lift procedure costs are calculated.
This surgery, when performed by an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, can have highly effective brow lift results, which can improve a patient’s vision and their aesthetic appearance overall. Brow lift surgery is known for helping patients look more awake and for facilitating a more youthful appearance by removing excess skin and lifting the brows gently.
Below, we’ll go over the cost breakdown for most brow lift procedures. This does not necessarily apply to a direct brow lift costs, Botox brow lift cost (non surgical brow lift), or the price of other uncommon and specialized brow lifts. Rather, it is for a typical hairline brow lift, coronal brow lift, or endoscopic brow lift cost.
The Cost of Brow Lift Surgery: A Breakdown
1. Surgeon’s Fees
First, we must emphasize surgeon’s fees as these typically make up the largest portion of the cost of surgery. Surgeon’s fees are affected by the skill and level of expertise and training of a plastic surgeon. A surgeon who is more in demand will charge more for their in-demand surgeries — whether they be brow lift surgeries, forehead lift procedures, eyelid surgery procedures, or another type of cosmetic surgery.
2. Anesthesia Fees
Enter the anesthesiologist’s fees. These fees cover the cost of putting you to sleep with general anesthesia or in a comfortable sedated state (with local anesthesia).
3. Facility Fees
Facility fees grant you access to state-of-the-art operating rooms with top-level care and treatment. Hospitals and surgical facilities must transfer charges to you for things like the cost of their staff, equipment, and even utility bills.
4. Pre-Operative Evaluation and Testing
Before your brow lift procedure, you may need pre-surgery testing to ensure you’re physically ready for surgery. Some patients do not require these tests, but if you do, you will need to pay for them out-of-pocket. Common tests include imaging scans and blood draws.
5. Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up
Follow-up appointments, medications, compression garments, recovery items, and dressings will ensure your brow lift recovery is a smooth process. Of course, nearly all of these items will need to be paid for by you.
How Much Does a Brow Lift Cost? Evaluating Prices
In order to determine a more exact cost for your brow lifting surgery, you will need to book an eyebrow lift consultation appointment. Some patients choose to schedule several consultations with different plastic surgeons.
At any rate, your consultation appointment is your best bet for getting an accurate price quote for surgery.
Consultation Appointment
Your first step toward understanding the financial aspect of your brow lift journey begins with a consultation with your chosen surgeon.
During this appointment, your surgeon will assess your unique facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and outline a recommended treatment plan. They will also provide you with a detailed breakdown of the anticipated costs associated with your brow lift.
Brow Lift Payment Options
Once you’ve received a comprehensive estimate for your brow lift, it’s time to explore payment options. Many plastic surgery practices offer various payment methods to accommodate their patients’ needs.
1. Medical Financing
Medical financing options, such as CareCredit, can help you cover the cost of your brow lift with a very low interest rate. These financing options often offer flexible repayment terms but are subject to credit approval.
2. Credit Cards
Using a credit card to pay for your brow lift is another option to consider. Most plastic surgeons accept major credit cards as payment, but it’s always best to choose a card with a low or zero percent interest rate.
3. Out-of-Pocket
3. Out-of-PocketLastly, if you prefer to pay for your brow lift upfront, you can do so using cash, check, or debit card in most cases. Paying out-of-pocket eliminates the need for financing or payment plans. Some patients may need time to save up for surgery, which can certainly be accommodated.
4. Payment Plans
Finally, some practices provide flexible payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of your brow lift over time. These are not available with all surgeons, however, and are subject to credit approval.
