Expert Brow Lift in Eugene, OR

A brow lift addresses drooping eyebrows, deep forehead lines, and a perpetually tired or stern expression that can make you look older than you feel. Dr. Reza Najafian, a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Oregon Health and Science University, has performed hundreds of facial rejuvenation procedures throughout his career. He offers advanced forehead lift techniques designed to restore a refreshed, natural appearance while respecting your unique facial anatomy and providing transparent guidance from consultation through complete recovery.

What Is a Brow Lift and Who Is It For

Brow lift surgery elevates sagging eyebrows, reduces horizontal lines in the forehead, and reduces vertical lines between the brows. This procedure works well for individuals whose brow position has descended with age, creating hooding over the eyes or an unintentionally angry appearance. The forehead lift can be performed alone or combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Good candidates are in good overall health with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. You should understand that while results are long-lasting, they cannot stop the natural aging process. Non-smokers or those willing to quit at least eight weeks before surgery heal more predictably and experience fewer complications.

Main Benefits

• Smooths deep forehead creases and frown lines

• Creates facial balance and harmony

• Provides long-lasting results that complement natural aging

Ideal Candidacy

Most patients seeking brow lift surgery are in their 40s through 60s, though candidacy depends more on anatomical changes than age alone. Ideal candidates have sufficient skin elasticity, no underlying health conditions that impair healing, and clear aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Najafian evaluates your forehead structure, skin quality, medical history, and current medications to determine if a brow lift is appropriate for you. He will discuss any factors that might delay surgery or suggest alternative treatments.

Our Surgical Approach for Natural-Looking Results

Dr. Najafian's fellowship training in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery informs his careful, individualized approach to each brow lift. He customizes every surgical plan based on your facial proportions, the degree of brow descent, skin thickness, hairline position, and personal aesthetic preferences. During your consultation, he uses detailed assessment and open communication to set realistic expectations about what surgery can and cannot achieve.

Endoscopic vs. Traditional

The endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions hidden within the hairline and specialized instruments to reposition brow tissue. This technique typically involves less visible scarring and a somewhat shorter recovery period. The traditional or coronal brow lift uses a longer incision across the top of the head, providing more extensive lifting for patients with significant brow sagging or a high hairline. Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis at an accredited surgical facility. Dr. Najafian explains the advantages and limitations of each approach during your consultation.

Personalized Technique Selection

Your unique anatomy guides every surgical decision. Dr. Najafian considers your hairline position, forehead height, brow shape, degree of skin laxity, and healing characteristics when recommending a technique. This personalized approach supports balanced, harmonious results that look refreshed rather than overdone.

Recovery Timeline and Aftercare Tips

Initial swelling and bruising peak within the first few days and gradually subside over two weeks. Most patients return to light activities within one week and resume normal routines by two to three weeks post-surgery. Dr. Najafian provides detailed written aftercare instructions and remains available to address any concerns during your recovery.

Week-by-Week Milestones

Week one involves rest, minimal activity, and careful incision care. Sutures or staples are typically removed within seven to ten days. By week two, swelling decreases noticeably and many patients feel comfortable returning to desk work. By week three to four, you can usually resume exercise and more vigorous activities as cleared by Dr. Najafian during follow-up appointments.

Financing and Brow Lift Cost in Eugene

The cost of brow lift surgery varies based on the complexity of the technique, anesthesia and facility fees, and whether additional procedures are performed simultaneously. During your consultation, you receive a detailed, itemized quote with no hidden fees. Most brow lifts are considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance unless documented functional impairment exists.

Payment Plans Available

The practice offers flexible financing through Cherry, PatientFi, and CareCredit. These plans allow you to manage costs with monthly payments. Our staff can help you apply and understand your financing options.

Brow Lift With Other Facial Procedures

Many patients combine a brow lift with complementary treatments for balanced facial rejuvenation. Eyelid surgery addresses excess skin or fat around the eyes. For comprehensive rejuvenation that addresses the midface and jawline, patients often explore facelift options or learn about face lift surgery alongside their brow lift consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lift Surgery

How Long Does a Brow Lift Last?

Results typically last ten to fifteen years, though individual aging patterns, skin quality, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors influence longevity. A brow lift does not stop aging but provides lasting improvement.

Is a Brow Lift Painful?

Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort rather than significant pain. Prescription pain medication helps manage discomfort during the first few days. Tightness and temporary numbness around incision sites are common and resolve gradually over weeks to months.

Will My Insurance Cover a Brow Lift?

Insurance rarely covers brow lift surgery because it is typically cosmetic. If severe brow sagging impairs your peripheral vision, documentation from an ophthalmologist may support a claim. Contact your insurance company and our office for guidance.
