Brow Lift in Fredericksburg, VA
What is a Brow Lift?
Surgery to lift the brow (also called a forehead lift or browplasty) is a popular aesthetic treatment that helps create a higher brow appearance, which provides a refreshed look to the upper portion of the face. A sagging brow can often create a tired or angry appearance. A brow lift surgically corrects a drooping brow to give patients a rejuvenated face by removing excess skin from the forehead while raising the eyebrows. Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki are plastic surgeons in Fredericksburg, VA who have completed brow lift surgery on both women and men to give them a younger appearance. Wrinkle fillers and relaxers are frequently performed in conjunction with a forehead lift at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg for ideal results, producing a softer and smoother appearance.
How Is a Brow Lift Performed?
Prior to surgery, anesthesia will be administered. This may be done under anesthesia on the extent of the procedure. The incision used during a browplasty is determined, depending on the degree of skin sag, whether the forehead is addressed, and the appearance of the patient's hairline. Some of the different techniques to consider:
- Traditional Incision
Also known as the open lift incision, this places the surgical incision at the top of the head behind the hairline. This incision not only masks scarring but also provides a certain amount of lift control during the surgery. The traditional incision suits those with both a sagging brow and frown lines. The traditional brow lift is the preferred technique for patients at risk of a receding hairline. - Trichophytic Incision
The trichophytic incision is placed right along the hairline. A trichophytic incision permits a more dramatic lift in the brow for men and women who have a low risk for hairline recession. - Lateral Brow Lift
Also known as a temporal brow lift, the lateral method places the incision inside the hairline slightly above the temples. The lateral incision allows the outer sections of the brow to be treated and is best for sagging that is visible in the outer brow. A temporal brow lift also helps to correct Crow’s feet. - Endoscopic Forehead Lift
The endoscopic lift is a more modern method used in a brow lift. It makes multiple small incisions in the hairline and inserts a tool known as an endoscope, which moves to the eyebrow to release its attachments. Using the endoscope's camera, the brow tissue is repositioned with stitches to lift the brow to a better position.

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
Fantastic Results - The results after my mommy makeover have exceeded my expectations! Dr Heppe is very skilled and the facility is clean and welcoming.
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the amazing job Dr. Aflaki did with my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), mastopexy (breast lift), and lipo 360 procedure in October 2024. His expertise and attention to detail truly made a difference in my journey, I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. Aflaki and his team for the exceptional work and support. I will gladly recommend Dr. Aflaki to anyone considering similar procedures. Please follow him on Instagram to see his work.
Dr. Aflaki is the BEST. I wish I had come to him sooner. I recently had a 360 Lipo and BBL done with him and I am SO grateful I went to him. I originally booked with 2 different doctors in Miami but cancelled both after finding out some very horrifying news about what they were doing to women. Something in me told me to just stay in state and do it closer to home. THANK GOD I cancelled with the other doctors and stayed in state. I soon found Doctor Aflaki's office and booked my procedure the same day as my consult with him because my intuition felt REALLY good about him. My spirit was at peace when speaking to him, and it felt right. He is straight to the point and honest. He genuinely cared for me. If I have questions, I ask him directly anytime, and he is always there for me. His staff is also very kind and helpful. Shout out to Nurse Victoria for all the advice she gave me through my recovery! The results I got with Dr. Aflaki are fantastic... I am 7 weeks post-op today, and I am EXTREMELY happy with my results. -Madhu
My experience was excellent! Dr. Aflaki and his team were amazing with anything I needed. I couldn't be more happier with my results. For my next procedure I wont go anywhere else! Looking forward to my next improvement. I can't wait! Thank you Dr. AFlaki for everything!
I’ve got the Fraxel preformed on face with Kristine and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire treatment. Dr. B prescribed me a prescription to prep as well as a numbing cream for the day of. I arrived one hour earlier than my scheduled time to allow the numbing cream sit and settle. Then I had the Fraxel laser pass over several times and thankfully I had a cooling tube right by me which made the passes at the more painful setting much easier to go through. I’m still in the recovery phase, but it’s not as bad as a chemical peel. I have slight flaking, and it just look like I’m more flushed than usual. Looking forward to the results over the next months and can’t wait to go back for maintenance. Just make sure you follow the pre and post instructions to a T

Brow Lift FAQ
How much does a brow lift cost?
It's better to concentrate on finding a skilled surgeon who can give you the results you want rather than going with the lowest price. Your costs for brow lift surgery will vary based on the technique chosen, anesthesia, facility fees, and other factors. When your treatment plan is developed in your consultation, cost estimates can be made. We can also go over payment methods and where to find low-interest financing to make your surgery is easier to afford.
Do I need a brow lift or facelift?
Whether you should get a brow lift or full facelift will depend on your goals and where you have excess skin. During your consultation, you should candidly discuss your goals so we can help you choose what is best for you. Some patients wanting a full facelift may find they would be better with a brow lift and vice versa. With their vast experience, our specialists can confidently help you decide on your unique treatment plan to give you the results you want.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
There are many nonsurgical options, including laser skin tightening and injectables (like Juvéderm and BOTOX), that can provide short-term improvements. However, brow lift surgery is better for significant improvements and longer-lasting results. In your consultation, we can review both your nonsurgical and surgical choices so you can decide which is best for your needs.
What technique should I choose?
During your consultation, we will review surgical techniques to help you understand their advantages. We will then help you choose the technique that best meets your needs and goals. Some factors that may influence your technique choice are your hairline (taking into account both your current hairline and your risk of developing a receding hairline), the degree of skin sagging, and the recovery time available.
Will my results look natural?
If you have an experienced Plastic Surgeon, your brow lift will appear natural. Our team will create a treatment plan with the right technique for your needs and goals to help you appear refreshed instead of frozen or tight. When performing your brow lift, we will focus on removing excess skin. The remaining skin and tissue will be smoothed so your results don't lift your eyebrows too high or limit your facial expressions.
