Endoscopic Brow Lift
As the face ages, the brow descends — contributing to heaviness over the upper eyelids, deepening of forehead lines, and an expression of tiredness or sternness that doesn't reflect the patient's actual mood or personality. A brow lift addresses this at its source by repositioning the brow and the underlying tissues.
Dr. Rafizadeh performs brow lifts under local anesthesia with moderate sedation — an approach he believes makes the procedure less invasive while improving the overall result and shortening recovery. He has mastered facial surgery to the point of achieving the most significant results with the shortest scars and the fastest recovery.
“I have mastered facial surgery over 35 years of experience to the point that I can achieve the most significant results with the shortest scars and the fastest recovery. Doing facial procedures like endoscopic brow lifts under local anesthesia with moderate sedation makes the procedure less invasive, yet improves the overall result.”

Endoscopic vs. Open Brow Lift
The endoscopic brow lift uses 3–5 small incisions hidden within the scalp and a tiny camera to lift and reposition the brow. There is no long ear-to-ear scar. Dr. Rafizadeh also performs an open forehead lift with an incision at the hairline that allows hair to grow through the scar — appropriate for patients who want to reduce the forehead height while lifting the brow simultaneously.

For select patients who want to tighten forehead skin without raising the brow, Dr. Rafizadeh can perform a skin-only forehead lift with an incision at the hairline made in such a way as to let the hair grow through the scar. This diminishes forehead wrinkles while preserving the natural brow position. Candidacy is determined during evaluation.

The brow lift is frequently combined with a facelift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and fat grafting to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Rafizadeh will assess which combination makes the most sense for your anatomy and goals.

Brow Lift Techniques
Dr. Rafizadeh tailors the brow lift technique to each patient's anatomy, degree of brow descent, forehead height, and aesthetic goals. The three primary approaches he uses are:
Endoscopic Brow Lift
The gold-standard minimally invasive approach. Three to five small incisions hidden in the scalp allow a camera-guided lift of the entire forehead and brow. No visible scarring, fastest recovery, and full correction of both medial and lateral brow descent. Learn more about the endoscopic brow lift →
Temporal Brow Lift
A targeted lift of the outer (lateral) brow only, performed through small incisions hidden in the temple hairline. Ideal for patients whose lateral brows have descended while the medial brow remains well-positioned. Often combined with upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).

Open / Coronal Brow Lift
A longer hairline incision that provides maximum correction for patients with significant brow descent or who want simultaneous forehead height reduction. Dr. Rafizadeh designs the incision so hair grows directly through the scar, making it essentially invisible.
Not sure whether you need a brow lift or eyelid surgery? Many patients confuse the two — or need both. Dr. Rafizadeh evaluates each patient's anatomy carefully before recommending one or the other. Brow lift or eyelid surgery — how to decide →

Ideal candidates for a brow lift in New Jersey are patients who are bothered by a heavy, descending brow that pushes excess skin over the upper eyelids, deep horizontal forehead lines, or a resting expression that reads as tired or stern regardless of how they actually feel. Most commonly the procedure is performed on patients over 40, though younger patients with genetically low-set brows are also good candidates. Patients should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. Dr. Rafizadeh serves patients from throughout New Jersey — including Morristown, Florham Park, Short Hills, Summit, Madison, Parsippany, West Orange, and across Morris, Essex, and Somerset counties.
