Brow Lift
in Little Rock, AR
Are drooping brows or sagging eyelids giving you a tired or angry look? Dr. Suzanne Yee performs the endoscopic brow lift in Little Rock, AR to restore a refreshed, youthful appearance. Triple-board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Yee specializes in minimally invasive forehead lift techniques that deliver natural-looking results with less downtime than traditional brow lift techniques.
What Is a Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)?
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten the brow and forehead area to reduce sagging skin, deep forehead lines and a heavy or drooping brow. By repositioning the soft tissues of the upper face, a brow lift can create a more rested, approachable appearance while also improving the look of the upper eyelids and the area between the eyebrows.
Dr. Suzanne Yee specializes in the endoscopic brow lift, a modern, minimally invasive approach. Unlike a traditional brow lift, which uses an incision along the hairline, the endoscopic brow lift uses several small, discreet incisions hidden within the scalp. A tiny camera called an endoscope allows Dr. Yee to precisely lift and secure the underlying tissues while preserving your natural facial structure and expression.
Because of its minimally-invasive nature, the endoscopic brow lift typically results in less scarring, reduced hair loss, minimal numbness and a faster recovery, while still delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results. As the first cosmetic surgeon in Arkansas to offer endoscopic brow lift surgery in Little Rock, Dr. Yee brings more than 20 years of experience performing this advanced technique, tailoring each procedure to the patient’s unique needs and goals.
About Brow Lift Surgery from Dr. Yee
What Can a Brow Lift Do for You?
Benefits of a Brow Lift
Awaken Your Expressions
Wrinkles and sagging skin can give you a permanently sad or angry appearance. A brow lift can enhance your features to brighten your appearance and ensures that your facial expressions match what you’re actually feeling inside.
Offer Natural-Looking Results
Our brow lift surgery is designed to smooth the wrinkles and lines on the forehead by returning the browline to its natural, more youthful position. We avoid overcorrection by attempting to restore the structure of your face to what it once was.
Reduce Signs of Aging
The benefit of a brow lift is that it targets various areas of your upper face. The eye area appears more awake, and the wrinkles on your forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows are lifted and smoothed out.
Balance Your Appearance
Wrinkles and sagging are not created equal. These signs of aging can bring on a lack of symmetry to your face. A brow lift restores facial symmetry, lending to a more balanced appearance.

Cosmetic Concerns a Brow Lift Can Fix
An endoscopic brow lift is suitable for most healthy adults who want to treat a drooping brow, angry brow, heavy upper eyelids, deep lines above the browline, or frown lines between the eyebrows. A forehead lift will not target lower face concerns, such as excess skin along the jaw. Patients with the following concerns may benefit from a brow lift:
1
Sagging Upper Eyelids
Brow lift surgery lifts droopy eyelids to give your face a more awake, energetic look.
2
Drooping Brows
Brows that droop can give you an angry or sad appearance. A brow lift allows you to express yourself accurately.
3
Forehead Lines
A brow lift can pull the forehead skin up to fight against these pesky wrinkles if you have widespread forehead lines.
4
Widespread Wrinkles
If you want to target crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and other signs of aging on your upper face, a brow lift can target these areas all at once.

How The Endoscopic Brow Lift Compares
To Other Types of Brow Lifts
The endoscopic brow lift is considered the modern standard for brow rejuvenation, offering effective lifting with a less invasive approach than traditional techniques. While there are several types of brow lift surgery available, the endoscopic method is often preferred for its ability to address the central and outer brow with minimal scarring and a shorter recovery period.
Because Dr. Yee was the first plastic surgeon in Arkansas to perform the endoscopic brow lift, she brings unmatched experience in selecting and performing this advanced technique to achieve natural, long-lasting results. Below is a comparison of how the endoscopic brow lift differs from other commonly performed brow lift techniques.
Classic Forehead Lift
With the classic forehead lift, an incision is made from one ear to the other along the hairline. Excess tissue and fat are removed, and the excess skin is trimmed. This form of brow lift requires a longer healing time, is a more extensive surgery and often associated with increased hair loss and scarring.
Endoscopic Forehead Lift
Unlike the large incision made with the classic forehead lift, the endoscopic forehead lift is minimally invasive as it uses small, half-inch incisions. Bruising is often minimal, and the healing period is shorter.
Temporal Lift
The temporal lift is the least invasive of the brow lift techniques. However, it focuses on the outer edges of the drooping brows and sagging upper eyelids. Patients with cosmetic concerns with the central and inner brow will benefit most from an endoscopic brow lift.
What to Expect During Brow Lift Surgery in Arkansas
The Endoscopic Brow Lift Procedure
1
Relax With Anesthesia
Dr. Yee offers general anesthesia to create a virtually painless experience. Our doctor reviews your medical records to ensure that anesthesia is safe and effective for you. Patients are asleep during the process and won’t remember the procedure once it’s done. In addition, patients are closely monitored throughout this process.
2
Sleep During the Surgery
The process starts with five half-inch incisions along the hairline. Next, we use small surgical instruments to loosen the skin. Dr. Yee inserts a tiny fiber-optic camera (an endoscope) through the small incisions and then performs the procedure while watching what the camera captures on a monitor.
3
Recover Quickly and Effectively
An endoscopic brow lift involves smaller incisions, minimal scarring, less hair loss, minimal numbness, and a faster recovery period. Most patients at Dr. Yee’s practice in Little Rock who undergo an endoscopic brow lift can return to work in about 7-14 days. Vigorous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks longer, by which point most visible signs of surgery should have faded. Before surgery, Dr. Yee will discuss the recovery process in detail with each patient to know what to expect.
Your Brow Lift Results
You may notice an immediate improvement in brow position and forehead smoothness once initial swelling begins to subside. Bruising and swelling gradually fade within the first few weeks, allowing early results to become more visible.
Your final brow lift results will continue to develop over the next 3 to 6 months. Once healing is complete, you can expect a more youthful, natural-looking brow with long-lasting improvement in forehead lines and brow drooping. Dr. Yee’s endoscopic technique is designed to create balanced results that enhance your appearance without altering your natural expressions.
Brow Lift FAQs
The exact cost of your Little Rock brow lift will depend on the details of your procedure and your specific needs. At the time of your consultation, Dr. Yee and her team will be able to provide you with a personalized cost estimate based on your customized treatment plan.
Our office accepts cosmetic surgery financing options including CareCredit, Cherry, PatientFi, and Alphaeon to help finance the cost of your procedure. These companies allow you to pay back the cost of treatment with monthly, manageable payments. With financing, the cost of plastic surgery treatments becomes affordable for a wide variety of budgets.
In most cases, a brow lift is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, if severe brow drooping significantly impairs vision, a portion of the procedure may qualify as medically necessary.
Most patients report mild to moderate discomfort rather than pain. Tightness, pressure or soreness across the forehead is common in the first few days and is typically well-managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.
There is no single “best” age for a brow lift. Candidates range from their late 30s to 60s and beyond, depending on skin elasticity and the degree of brow drooping. The best timing is based on your specific concerns rather than age alone.
Brow lift techniques are customized to preserve natural facial characteristics. In men, the goal is to lift the brow without creating an overly arched or feminized appearance, while women may benefit from subtle shaping that enhances the brow’s natural contour. Dr. Yee carefully plans each procedure based on facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Brow lift results are long-lasting, often for many years. While the natural aging process continues, the brow typically remains in a more youthful position than it would have without surgery.
Scarring is minimal with an endoscopic brow lift. Small incisions are hidden within the hair and usually heal well, making them difficult or even impossible to detect once fully healed.
As with any surgical procedure, risks may include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, infection, bleeding or asymmetry. Serious complications are uncommon, and Dr. Yee takes careful steps to minimize risks and ensure patient safety.
Nonsurgical treatments such as BOTOX can temporarily elevate the brows and soften forehead lines. While these options may be effective for mild concerns, they do not provide the same level of lift or longevity as surgical brow lift procedures.
Brow Lift vs. Other Options
Depending on the concerns you want to treat, a forehead lift may not cover all of your needs. Dr. Yee offers various facial plastic surgery and non-surgical treatment options to reach your desired cosmetic look.
- Facelift – A facelift treats the lower face and neck rather than focusing on the upper half alone.
- Eyelid Surgery – Many of Dr. Yee’s patients combine an endoscopic brow lift with blepharoplasty to treat the eyelids and the brows.
- Botox and Dermal Fillers – Dr. Yee offers JUVEDERM, Restylane, and other fillers to craft a youthful appearance without undergoing surgery.
- Laser Treatments – Our non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments use energy to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and reduce wrinkles.
