Brow Lift Plastic Surgery

The eyebrows do far more than frame the eyes — they carry much of our expression. When the brows droop with age, others may read tiredness, anger, or sadness on a face that feels nothing of the sort, and low-hanging brows can even crowd the eyes and interfere with vision. A brow lift restores the brows to a more youthful, open position, softening that heavy or stern look and brightening the entire upper face. Dr. Erez Dayan performs brow lift surgery at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.

The forehead and brow are among the most anatomically delicate areas of the face, rich with nerves that govern expression — which is why this region rewards a surgeon with genuine expertise in facial safety. Dr. Erez Dayan literally co-wrote the book on it: the authoritative textbook Facial Danger Zones: Staying Safe with Surgery, Fillers and Non-Invasive Devices. A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, he completed his plastic surgery training at the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program before being chosen for an elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. Brow lift surgery is one of the practice’s eyes and brows plastic surgery procedures.

What Does a Brow Lift Entail?

Depending on your aesthetic and functional needs, Dr. Dayan performs a brow lift using one of four approaches: the traditional coronal lift, the limited-incision temporal lift, the endoscopic lift, or the minimally invasive lift using radiofrequency skin tightening. With the radiofrequency, endoscopic, and temporal techniques, incisions are hidden within the hairline, leaving essentially no visible evidence of surgery — making them well suited to those with mild brow ptosis and moderate signs of aging.

A coronal lift provides a more dramatic result, ideal for patients needing a more in-depth revision of the forehead and brows and those with more advanced signs of aging. Dr. Dayan determines the best technique for you after a physical evaluation during your consultation.

“The brow sets the tone for the whole face. Lift it just right and a patient looks rested and approachable again — and because this area is full of important nerves, that precision and safety are everything.” — Dr. Erez Dayan

The Advantages of a Brow Lift

Reverse an angry, tired, or sad facial expression
Smooth away wrinkles, creases, and fine lines
Brighten and open up the eyes
Improve your self-image
Improve your field of vision
Provide a long-lasting outcome

What Determines Candidacy for a Brow Lift?

The first step is a consultation and examination with Dr. Dayan, where he determines whether a brow lift is the ideal procedure for you or whether blepharoplasty, dermal fillers, or a facelift might be more appropriate. Good candidates have good skin elasticity, are non-smokers, are in good mental and physical health, and hold realistic expectations for their results.

What Will My Recovery Be Like?

Recovery depends on the technique used. Dr. Dayan typically takes a minimally invasive approach with the temporal brow lift or the radiofrequency-assisted lift using the AccuTite® device by InMode, with sutures usually removed within one week. You may experience minor bruising and swelling, which subsides quickly, and keeping your head elevated for a few days helps reduce swelling. Most patients return to work or school within seven to ten days but should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for about three weeks.

How Much Does a Brow Lift Cost?

Brow lift fees vary from patient to patient based on the extent of the procedure. After your private consultation, Dr. Dayan can provide a customized quote, and the office partners with an array of reputable healthcare lenders to help finance your surgery — many allowing you to apply and receive a reply while still in the office.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lift Surgery

What are the different brow lift techniques?
Dr. Dayan offers four approaches: the traditional coronal lift, the limited-incision temporal lift, the endoscopic lift, and the minimally invasive radiofrequency lift. He selects the right one based on your degree of brow drooping and signs of aging.

Which brow lift is right for me?
The radiofrequency, endoscopic, and temporal lifts suit mild brow ptosis and moderate aging, with incisions hidden in the hairline. A coronal lift offers a more dramatic result for advanced aging. Dr. Dayan recommends the best option after a physical evaluation.

Can a brow lift improve my vision?
Yes. When low-hanging brows crowd the eyes, lifting them can open up the upper field of vision in addition to creating a more youthful, rested appearance.

Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A brow lift is often combined with blepharoplasty, dermal fillers, or a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Dayan will review whether a combination suits your goals.

How long is recovery after a brow lift?
With Dr. Dayan’s minimally invasive approach, most patients return to work or school within seven to ten days, avoiding strenuous activity for about three weeks. Sutures are typically removed within a week.

How long do brow lift results last?
A brow lift provides a long-lasting outcome. Maintaining your skin’s health and pairing it with recommended maintenance treatments helps preserve your results over time.

Hands down the most qualified, honest and knowledgeable plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada. Dr. Dayan and his staff are truly committed to offering leading edge technology, quality and professionalism to each and every treatment ranging from to simple non invasive injections to complicated procedures. What he and his team have to offer always seems too good to be true, but they always over exceed expectations and are incredibly budget conscientious. The Reno-Tahoe area is incredibly fortunate to welcome such a skilled and qualified aesthetic professional into the area!

Dr. Dayan is the surgeon clients should interview with and choose for their procedures. I am always very cautious when deciding important life decisions and I can say without a doubt that I would go through my surgeries again with Dr. Dayan. Every appointment has been professional, courteous, informative, and truthful. I never felt rushed. I also appreciate knowing my privacy is maintained. My fear of pain is very respected, and his demeanor eases it quite a bit. I made my decision to trust Dr. Dayan because of his extensive education, vast experience, and my first-hand witness of his character. These factors have allowed me to look forward to all of my appointments.

I had three consultations and didn't make any decisions lightly, but Dr. Dayan blew the competition out of the water. From the moment I met him during my consultation, he was honest and open while also personable. He also insisted on putting me in touch with previous patients before I made my decision so that I could have a better understanding of the process and recovery as a whole. I ultimately picked him because I knew he would do a good job but also because I felt at ease with him. The day of surgery, I was very nervous and he was comforting while efficient with his time. He was also completely honest with me during my recovery and called either myself or my husband often to make sure I was doing well, but also to make sure my husband understood the process completely. He also makes himself so available for any little questions or concerns I've had, making me feel secure in knowing he's only a phone call or a text away. Although I am not yet completely healed (only 3 weeks post-op) I already feel so confident in the work that has been done. He has helped me to transform something that had me so insecure for such a long time into a body I feel comfortable in. I cannot wait for the final results! I won't hesitate to return to Dr. Dayan for anything else I need done. Between him and his office staff (Alli) I feel like more of a member of the Avance family rather than a patient!

I highly encourage anyone who is considering plastic/reconstruction surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dayan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from my breast augmentation. At my consultations, not only did I get my questions thoroughly answered, but I was treated with such genuine kindness and patience. Dr. Dayan is professional, highly knowledgeable, honest and has a certain way of connecting with others. For these reasons, I trusted him and felt supported throughout my whole breast augmentation experience from pre- to post-surgery care. All around, I felt safe and informed about this big decision/investment which is all I could ever ask for. I recovered so much easier than I expected, and my breasts are looking perfect and natural! Dr. Dayan definitely listened to what I wanted and followed through. Lastly, I want to mention how sweet and supportive his team is over at Avance! I am very appreciative of their service.

My results after a "noninvasive" procedure are amazing. The cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive technology that Dr. Dayan incorporates into his procedures, as well as being a gifted and talented surgeon and individual, all contribute to his many accomplishments. However, I personally am impressed with his abilities to listen, communicate, and create beautiful results. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Dayan before making a final decision on any kind of procedure. Just another satisfied patient!

I had a perfect experience at Avance. Dr. Dayan was quick, professional, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable during the short procedure I needed done. His demeanor was calming and I was able to put full trust in his abilities from start to finish. Erez really knows his stuff, and it's amazing he's here in Reno when he could clearly be somewhere much bigger if he wanted. I definitely won't hesitate to book again if needed.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Where to start? When I first thought of getting a mommy makeover my expectations were not that high because I didn’t ever think I could look the way I wanted to. I always just hoped it would be an improvement and I would be happy with that. Then I met Dr. Dayan. From the first consultation he made me realize that he could give me beautiful results that I didn’t know were possible. He was so kind and confident and I knew from that moment that he was going to be my surgeon. I booked my surgery (a breast augmentation with implants and a tummy tuck with lipo) that day and it was the best choice I have ever made. Before my procedure he was very thorough and explained step by step what he was going to do which made me feel so comfortable. I actually wasn’t nervous at all. I was so excited! I am now 1 month post op and my results are above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed my body could look like after a mommy makeover. Dr. Dayan did an exceptional job. I am not completely healed and I already am so pleased. There are no words that can do justice to how amazing it is to put trust in someone with my body and wake up with results that are better than I could have ever imagined. He truly is skilled in his profession and has the eye for what is best for your body to give you the best results. He followed up with me several times post op to see how I was feeling. If I had any concerns or questions he responded to them quickly and personally which made me feel confident that everything was going well! His care is exceptional from beginning to end. He has an amazing staff as well. His Patient coordinator Ali is so sweet and helpful. She is amazing with communication as well as helping you with financial options and scheduling. You won’t be disappointed working with Dr. Dayan and Ali!

I cannot say enough about his work - he is incredibly talented and I am confident under his care. Of course the results are amazing! I love my LIPS!
