Many people use their brows as instruments of emotion. Over time, the skin stretches, causing creases and excess skin in the forehead area. The skin sags, forming what is known as “droopy brows,” and may reach a point where it seems to hood the upper eyelids. The sub-eyebrow skin, the skin below the eyebrow, is thicker than upper eyelid skin, and as many people age, it can cover the upper eyelid. Unfortunately, the effect is that people appear tired, angry, or older. A brow lift addresses these issues, lifting the tissues and muscles for a naturally balanced frame of the forehead, providing a more open, alert, and youthful result.
The solution for sagging brows might be a cosmetic procedure called a brow lift, which creates a more youthful brow and, for some patients, more youthful-looking eyes. An experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon is the best choice to perform this procedure. Such a physician, who is artistic and educated to the highest standards, would qualify to give you a beautiful and natural-looking brow and forehead—not a surprised, deer-in-the-headlights look. Dr. Joshua Halpern is such a plastic surgeon and has performed many a brow lift, gaining him considerable experience. Dr. Halpern’s Finesse Technique® combines technical skill with his visionary artistic touch, enhancing each patient’s experience, brow lift results, and recovery period.
This is a brow lift that is performed via small incisions hidden in the scalp using a TV camera, versus the old-fashioned brow lift, which utilizes an incision from ear to ear. Dr. Halpern was one of the original plastic surgeons who developed this technique. He has lectured nationally and internationally on this subject.
The goal of a brow lift is not to make the patient look surprised; rather, it is to restore the brows to a natural, youthful position and to better frame the face and upper eyes. Other benefits of a brow lift might include:
Patients interested in a brow lift have aging concerns specifically located throughout the eyebrows and upper forehead, including drooping eyebrows, a loss of brow definition, and sagging skin.

Brow lifts are very focused procedures in that they target a precise location of the face—the brows and their aging concerns. But if you are a patient with multiple aging concerns throughout the face, it may be best to combine your brow lift with another facial rejuvenation procedure. Dr. Halpern’s facial procedure guide shows each procedure that he offers. Below are some of the more popular options to pair with a brow lift:
The eyes, like the brows, do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to expressing emotion. Therefore, they exhibit some of the earliest aging signs, such as sagging skin, bulging fat, puffiness, wrinkles, undereye fat pockets, and even undereye hollows. A blepharoplasty is a versatile procedure that can address stretched, excess upper eyelid skin, upper eyelid sagging, undereye puffiness, and lower eyelid sagging. Blepharoplasty restores a rested, alert appearance to tired, aged eyes.
A facelift with Dr. Halpern is entirely customized to your needs, and he will use one of many techniques to address your specific concerns. Facelifts generally treat the lower third of the face, reducing jowls, tightening the neck, and improving the jawline.
A deep plane facelift or an endoscopic mid-facelift (which is deeper than a deep plane facelift) is true to its name: it lifts the cheeks, minimizes the nasolabial folds, and brings fullness back to the upper cheeks. This helps to make the eyes look younger. Sometimes, fat is injected into the cheeks if needed. Rejuvenating the cheeks gives the face and eyes a natural, younger look. Dr. Halpern was one of the original pioneers in developing the endoscopic mid-facelift.
It’s important to choose a plastic surgeon who understands the nuanced approaches to brow lift surgery, as well as one who is comfortable using cutting-edge technology to achieve the best possible results. Dr. Halpern is both: he was one of the pioneers of the endoscopic brow lift, which utilizes the endoscope to create the smallest incisions possible in this type of surgery. His experience has provided him with the opportunity to lecture nationally and internationally on the subject. He also regularly employs his Finesse Technique® to further aid in rapid recovery.
Dr. Halpern’s excellent training, years of experience, inventiveness, and artistic eye all come together to enable him to use his expertise to benefit his patients. With his advanced endoscopic and Finesse Technique®, recovery is relatively quick, and pain is minimal when compared to traditional techniques, so patients can get back to their lives and enjoy their refreshed, improved appearance.
Dr. Halpern always customizes his brow lift techniques to the needs of his patients; no two procedures are the same. He uses high-end technology and techniques like endoscopic methods for the most efficient surgeries with less recovery time.
The endoscopic technique is essential in improving the brow lift recovery period. Because the tiny camera gives Dr. Halpern much more control and visibility, there is reduced trauma to the surrounding tissues, resulting in less bruising, swelling, and pain during recovery. Bear in mind that everyone is different, but most patients can return to work about 7–10 days after surgery. You can speed up healing by keeping your head elevated during sleep and rest and by following Dr. Halpern’s aftercare instructions.
The cost of a brow lift in Tampa, FL, varies depending on the amount of necessary revision, the technique used, and whether you have combined your brow lift with another procedure, such as a facelift. Once you have discussed your needs and goals with Dr. Halpern during your consultation, he will be happy to provide you with a surgical plan and cost estimate.
Any time an incision is made on the body, there is a scar. However, Dr. Halpern’s endoscopic brow lift incisions are made discreetly, hidden within the hairline. Dr. Halpern’s scars heal so nicely that he gets a lot of referrals from hair stylists.
Although your face will continue to age at its normal pace, brow lifts are intended to be long-lasting procedures, turning back the clock by years. With proper aftercare, such as regular facials, avoiding excess sun exposure, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the results of your brow lift for many years.
During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Joshua Halpern will examine you and let you know how he can help you recapture a more youthful, refreshed, and attractive look. After surgery, people might just ask you where you went on vacation! Call (813) 872-2696 or fill out our contact form to get started.
Dr. Halpern is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, The Aesthetic Society, and International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
