“How long does brow lift surgery take?”

The length of brow surgery depends on the approach that the surgeon takes. An endoscopic brow surgery can take a bit longer than a hairline or direct brow lift. However, in general, brow surgery can take anywhere from 2-4 hours.

Hi there, Your question is a bit loaded as the answer depends not only on what technique of browlift is done but other factors such as setup and anesthesia time. I always say there's up to an hour of "farting around anesthesia time", such as going to sleep for general anesthesia, and for longer surgeries, having a Foley urine catheter placed. If it's an isolated browlift, some of the things may not apply, and it may be possible to get done under local anesthesia with IV sedation (local/MAC, or monitored anesthesia care), which greatly reduces the induction and recovery times. As far as the surgery itself, the time varies depending on the technique. Browlifts usually involve both sides but in certain situations may only involve one side, which usually means less operative time. A bilateral, subcutaneous browlift can take as little as one (1) hour and as long as 2 (1/2) hours for a bilateral endoscopic browlift (Endo Brow). Hopefully, that gives you a ballpark, at least as far as what time the surgeon needs to get the browlift done.
