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
I highly recommend Dr. Pejman Aflaki. He was incredibly kind and compassionate, and his bedside manner put me at ease. He took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything in a way that I could easily understand. I felt confident in his recommendations, and the positive impact on my well-being has been remarkable. The office is well-organized, efficient, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a truly positive experience.
This is the first time that I have posted a review for any service, and I feel honored to provide feedback for this facility, and most specifically for my surgeon, Dr. Howard Heppe. He is absolutely extraordinary. His willingness to listen, and provide advice and guidance was deeply appreciated. He is a master at his art, a brilliant surgeon who literally changed my life. He performed a breast lift, tummy tuck, and a procedure on my eyes which removed lifelong bags and dark circles from my face. Amazing. The support staff and nurses were exceptional, cheerful, kind, and emotionally supportive. I am truly grateful for all of their extreme care and attentiveness. Again, Dr. Heppe is in a league of his own. His ability to craft and mold and enhance the human body is so impressive and he exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend him/them to anyone who is ready to take the next step in enhancing their natural beauty and correcting areas of sensitivity. Amazing.
I am so pleased to share my enormous respect and admiration for Dr. Heppe and every one of the staff members at this medical facility. I was there to care for my friend having surgery. Not only was she treated compassionately and professionally during the entire experience, I was surprised that I, too, was given the same courtesy as her care partner. The appointments were on time, thorough, and informative. We were prepared with important information and immediate responses to any potential concerns we raised. When my friend experienced a difficulty, Dr. Heppe went beyond all expectations to assist her promptly and appropriately. We were reassured and comforted to know that every patient is treated "as the center of attention." I highly recommend the services of this extraordinary medical facility. We offer our highest gratitude for the way every one on the staff kindly contributed to make this time so amazing.

Dr. Aflaki and his staff are awesome. From answering all my questions at my consult, to spending extra time with me at my pre-op appt. He was very honest and I ended up changing my procedure. After surgery, I had several healing issues and I was heading out of town for vacation in 2 weeks, anytime I had a concern his staff got me in same day to make sure everything was ok. Everything is healed and looks amazing. I couldn't of picked a better Dr.. His staff was always smiling and friendly on the phone and in office.

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.
