- Brow lift. Three approaches: lateral (incisions in the lateral scalp), endoscopic (small scalp incisions for instrument access), and hairline incision (excess skin lifted and removed along the hairline) (source).

Insurance and cost
The eyelid surgery page states upper eyelid surgery is sometimes covered by health insurance when it treats vision impairment, to be discussed at consultation. No dollar prices for eyelid or brow surgery are published.
Recovery statements found only for brow lift: swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes typically subside within one to two weeks; most patients take one to two weeks off work; final results become visible within three to six months. No eyelid-specific recovery timeline is published.
