What Is the Cost of a Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) in Germany?
The cost of a brow lift (forehead lift) in Germany typically ranges from $2,500 to $22,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, raises sagging eyebrows and smooths lines across the forehead. It can be done through open cuts or endoscopically through small incisions. In Germany, the total depends on:
- Technique: open (coronal or hairline) or endoscopic.
- Combined procedures: such as eyelid surgery.
- Anaesthesia: general anaesthetic or sedation.
- VAT: purely cosmetic procedures are not exempt.
This page covers all brow lift techniques. A separate page covers the endoscopic forehead lift.
How a Brow Lift Is Done
In an open brow lift, a cut is made along or behind the hairline and the forehead tissues are lifted. The endoscopic approach uses several short cuts in the scalp and a small camera.
The choice depends on the height of the hairline, the amount of lift needed and the surgeon's experience.
