Brow Lift
in Scottsdale

Dr. Mata performs most brow lifts using the endoscopic technique — small incisions hidden in the hairline with a tiny camera used to visualize and lift the brow. This approach minimizes scarring, preserves sensation, and shortens recovery compared to traditional open brow lift techniques.

For patients with very low brows or significant skin excess, a limited open technique may produce a better result. The right approach is decided at consultation based on your specific anatomy.

Botox can subtly lift the brow by releasing the muscles that pull it down — an effective early intervention for most patients. However, Botox has limits: it typically produces only a millimeter or two of lift, and it can't address true brow descent or excess forehead skin.

Surgery is the right answer when: your brow sits low enough to crowd the upper eyelid, you have deep forehead lines that Botox softens only temporarily, or you've reached the limits of what injectables can do.

Brow lifts are often combined with upper eyelid surgery — the two procedures address adjacent areas and the combined recovery is essentially the same as either alone. When both the brow is descended and the upper lid is hooded, doing them separately often disappoints.

Many patients also schedule Botox and laser resurfacing for the forehead 3–6 months after surgery, to refine the result and address fine lines that surgery alone doesn't fully resolve.
