The cost of a brow lift varies significantly. First, numerous techniques are available, ranging in complexity, surgical length, and cost of medical supplies. Second, the patient should consider the geographical area where he or she is being operated as the prices may vary considerably.
The brow lift procedure involves three independent fees:
Surgeon fee: This fee corresponds to the compensation that your surgeon requires for performing the operation and follow-up consultations until the final result is achieved. Surgeon fee varies among professionals, mainly depending on experience, training, and operation complexity.
Anesthesia fee: Brow lift procedures are carried out with either intravenous sedation or with general anesthesia. Thus, the presence of an anesthesiologist with experience in brow lift surgery is essential.
Surgical facility fee: To ensure safety, a cosmetic brow lift is always performed in an accredited outpatient surgical center or hospital. Because the operation requires intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, the facility must be adequately equipped. Nursing staff should be familiar with the operation, and all medical supplies must be available. The facility fee represents a significant portion of the total costs of the operation. Unlike surgeon and anesthesia fees, which are fixed, the facility fee may vary based on the length of the procedure and the supplies and medications used.
