Rejuvenate Your Appearance.
Am I A Candidate?
Lifted, Sculpted, Youthful
While wrinkles are often a result of a full, expressive life, over time they can come to disrupt our self-image and make us look older than we feel.
At Heights Plastic Surgery, our highly advanced plastic surgeons, Dr. Downey and Dr. Bullocks, offer a surgical correction to severe sagging and creases on the forehead that cause our resting appearance to look tired, sad, or angry.

What to Expect
Before, During, and After Your Brow Lift in Houston
1. Attend a One-on-One Consultation
If you're interested in a brow lift in Houston, you'll first meet with a physician for a one-on-one consultation. We take the time to get to know you—your goals, medical history, severity of any wrinkles, creases, lowered brow position and other features about your face shape to design your surgical plan.
2. Review Your Treatment Plan.
Dr. Downey and Dr. Bullocks collaborate on every patient case to advise you on the best option to address your concerns. We build a highly personalized treatment plan that may include a combination of other surgical procedures (such as a facelift or eyelid surgery) and even non-surgical procedures (Botox, filler, or laser skin tightening) to achieve the best possible results.
3. Make Your Decision.
At Heights Plastic Surgery, our mission is to give you all of the information you need to decide what will work best for your desires, timeline, and budget. After we make recommendations, we give you the space and time to make your own decision.
4. Schedule Your Brow Lift.
We will schedule your brow lift—an outpatient procedure performed in our private, on-site surgery center—for a day and time that works best for you. You'll want to factor in about 1 to 2 weeks of downtime from everyday activities and work after your procedure.
5. Arrive for Surgery
We will provide you with all the ways you can best prepare for the procedure well in advance of your brow lift in Houston. When you arrive, we will escort you to our state-of-the-art surgical suite, review our process in detail once more, and administer anesthesia.
6. Getting Your Brow Lift.
Your highly skilled HPS surgeon will be in the operating room from start to finish, executing every detail of your agreed-upon brow lift plan. Make sure you plan to have a plan for getting home after your procedure, as you will not be able to drive yourself.
7. Follow Up.
When you book your brow lift in Houston at Heights Plastic Surgery, we will also book you for follow-up visits to meet with your surgeon to monitor the area. This important step ensures you are healing properly, safely, and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lifts in Houston
A brow lift, sometimes referred to as a “forehead lift,” surgically lifts the soft tissue and skin of the forehead to improve the appearance of the brow and/or eyes. This can provide much more compelling, long-term results for patients struggling with moderate to severe sagging. Oftentimes, brow lift patients already have experience with using cosmetic injectables (like Botox or Filler) and other non-surgical options, but the laxity of their skin has reached a point where these treatments are no longer effective in fully addressing their concerns.
To make the most of our patients’ time and investment, the surgeons at HPS often perform brow lifts in conjunction with other facial surgery techniques, such as a mini facelift, blepharoplasty, or other procedures that require general anesthesia.
Dr. Downey and Dr. Bullocks are highly experienced in the six types of brow lifts in Houston:
- Coronal Lift.A coronal lift is a technical term for a “classic” brow lift. During a coronal brow lift, we place an incision just above the ear and extend this through the hair to lift the skin and remove any excess.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift.During an endoscopic brow lift in Houston, we create small incisions hidden in the hair and use specialized equipment to gently release and elevate the brow tissue. Because we consider this “minimally invasive,” this technique can improve healing and downtime compared to a traditional brow lift.
- Temporal Brow Lift.For younger patients who would still like to see more dramatic improvement to their forehead and brow, a temporal brow lift may be an ideal option. In this technique, you are not required to go under general anesthesia. Instead, we use a local anesthetic to perform a much more scaled-back version of a traditional brow lift.
- Direct Brow Lift.During a direct brow lift, typically for older patients, we may place the incision right at the brow to help correct deep wrinkles and excess skin.
- Transblepharoplasty.Particularly popular with male patients, as transblepharoplasty is an “add on” procedure to an eyelid lift that simultaneously allows us to make small adjustments to the brow.
- Pretrichial Brow Lift.For patients with long foreheads, this brow lift technique is effective for not only lifting the brow, but also reducing the overall size and length of the forehead for a more balanced appearance.
In Houston, Heights Plastic Surgery performs hundreds of plastic surgery procedures every year. Each patient will receive custom recommendations from both Dr. Downey and Dr. Bullocks regarding the exact surgical approach to correct their unique concerns. For some patients, a brow lift is sufficient in providing results; for others, a combination of procedures will be ideal.
Our experienced surgeons offer a brow lift as an alternative to a full facelift for patients whose root cause of concern lies in their forehead and brow. A patient who is experiencing sagging cheeks, jowls, and/or lips may be a better candidate for a facelift or mini-facelift. A small percentage of the patients who come for a brow lift consultation at Heights Plastic Surgery don’t even need surgical intervention to correct their wrinkles or creases! Instead, a combination of skin resurfacing or skin tightening treatments plus cosmetic injectables (like Botox or Filler) will adequately reach their goals.
At HPS, our mission is to give every patient the education and custom recommendations they need to make an informed decision. Some will even visit other plastic surgeons in Houston for a second opinion. Because undergoing a plastic surgery procedure is an intimate decision and a long-term investment, we encourage you to take your time in making the decision that’s right for you.
At Heights Plastic Surgery, patients can expect their brow lift to cost between $4,000 and $10,000 depending on the unique procedure performed. If you are interested in learning about financing options for your brow lift in Houston, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
Every patient’s skin is unique. From lifestyle (like sun exposure, diet, and exercise) to genetics, everybody ages differently. That said, most of the patients we see for brow lift surgeries in Houston are between the ages of 30 and 85. It’s important to get personalized recommendations from an experienced surgeon who can closely assess your skin’s health and severity of concerns before deciding on a procedure plan.
For all brow lift patients, it is crucial to follow your surgeon’s post-surgery plan to ensure your results last for years to come. This may include a combination of non-surgical procedures, at-home skincare routine, proper protection from the sun, and (potentially) minor lifestyle adjustments.
