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.

Dr. Aflaki & team are amazing! Mommy makeover after losing 80lbs - After losing 80lbs in less than a year, I was left with loose skin and saggy breasts. I got a consult with Dr. Aflaki. He was empathetic, a great listener, knowledgeable and very helpful. Great experience!
On August 21st I under went surgery, tummy tuck and lipo 360… I did a lot of research and decided to go with Dr. Aflaki, I followed him on social media and looked out for reviews from other patients of his, for about 6 months before deciding to go forward. I was always amazed at his work and I am very happy I chose him…Dr. Aflaki was very professional, he went over so much with me that I never felt in the dark. I went into surgery very confidently having him as my Dr. He is also pleasant to be around, check ups always went very smooth, always felt comfortable and take care of. His staff was also wonderful to me and made sure my caretaker knew everything he needed to know to care for me after surgery. I am overall very happy with the outcome! My results are amazing! My pre-surgery video was taken Aug 21st, the morning of surgery. My post-surgery photo was taken 2 months and 2 weeks. I feel great, physically and mentally!! Thank you so much Dr. Aflaki and his team at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg!
When researching doctors for my rhinoplasty. I visited with a couple of different plastic surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasties but Dr. Aflaki was the obvious choice from the first consult. He took his time explaining everything and removing all doubts about the procedure which made me feel incredibly relieved and more confident to move forward. I ended up having a rhinoplasty and the procedure itself was so much easier than I could have imagined. Recovery was a breeze and painless. which was surprising. I closely followed instructions from Dr.Aflaki everything went really smoothly. I was already feeling like myself after a few days. I’m just over 2 months post-op and am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Aflaki is an amazing Dr. The changes to my appearance are exactly what I wanted and what we discussed during the consult. I been checking with him for two moths I can I sure you you are in good hands If choose you Dr. Aflaki!
Dr. Bautista is the Only One I Trust. - Dr. Bautista did my breast augmentation surgery in 2005, and I was extremely pleased with the results. I decided to go back to him in 2024 to have my breasts redone, since they were almost 20 years old. I had no issues with them, but I wanted to go a little bigger and Dr. Bautista is the only one I trust to do the surgery. In fact, I even followed up my breast surgery with cool sculpting and am very pleased with the those results as well. He and his staff are extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for any cosmetic needs you may have.

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.
