Private endoscopic brow lift cost in the UK

A private endoscopic brow lift in the UK typically costs £4,500–£7,000, depending on the surgeon, anaesthetic and whether it's combined with eyelid surgery. This keyhole forehead-lift raises heavy, drooping brows that crowd the upper eyelids and tire the eyes. Here's what you'll pay, what's included, and how it compares with eyelid surgery.

A private endoscopic brow lift in the UK costs roughly £4,500–£7,000 in 2026, with the final price depending on the surgeon's expertise, the type of anaesthetic and whether it is combined with upper eyelid surgery. As a keyhole forehead procedure performed by an oculoplastic surgeon, it lifts sagging brows that press on the upper lids and contribute to a heavy, tired-looking eye area.

How much does an endoscopic brow lift cost?

Price depends mainly on the complexity of your case and whether other eyelid work is done at the same time. As a 2026 UK guide:

Endoscopic brow lift

Typically £4,500–£7,000. Keyhole forehead lift through small hidden incisions to raise the brow position.

With upper blepharoplasty

Often £6,500–£9,000+ combined. Brow lift plus upper eyelid surgery in one session.

Consultation

Around £200–£350, usually redeemable against the cost of treatment if you proceed.

Because the brow and upper eyelid work so closely together, your surgeon will assess both before quoting. In some patients, drooping is mostly an upper eyelid hooding problem treated with eyelid surgery alone; in others, a true brow droop needs lifting first. See the wider picture on our oculoplastic surgery prices page.

What's included in the price?

A transparent private brow-lift package should include: the consultant oculoplastic surgeon's fee, the day-case theatre and facility fee, anaesthetic (local with sedation or general), and your routine post-operative reviews and suture removal. Always check whether the quote includes the anaesthetist and follow-up, and whether any combined eyelid surgery is priced separately.

Brow lift vs eyelid surgery — which do you need?

Heaviness around the eyes can come from the brow, the eyelid skin, or both. A brow lift raises a low or sagging brow; blepharoplasty removes excess upper-lid skin; and droopy lids from a weak lifting muscle are corrected with ptosis surgery. Choosing the wrong one can disappoint — which is why an oculoplastic assessment matters. Our guide on the difference between blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery explains how these overlap, and you can read about droopy eyelid (ptosis) too.

How to arrange private brow-lift surgery

Cosmetic eyelid and brow surgery does not need a GP referral — you can self-refer and choose your consultant. Because the brows frame the eyes, having this surgery with an oculoplastic (eyelid) specialist rather than a general cosmetic provider helps protect eye function and gives a natural result. EyeSurgeryClinic helps patients across the UK access consultant oculoplastic care and clear written quotes; tell us your location and we'll match you with the right surgeon and price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private endoscopic brow lift cost in the UK?
Typically £4,500–£7,000 in 2026, depending on the surgeon, the anaesthetic and case complexity. Combined with upper eyelid surgery the total is often £6,500–£9,000 or more.
Is a brow lift the same as eyelid surgery?
No. A brow lift raises sagging eyebrows, while blepharoplasty removes excess upper-eyelid skin. They are often combined, but an oculoplastic assessment decides which you actually need.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-refer for private cosmetic brow and eyelid surgery and choose your own consultant and date.
Why have it with an oculoplastic surgeon?
Oculoplastic surgeons specialise in the eyelids and brows and protect the function of the eye, not just appearance. This helps achieve a natural result and reduces the risk of problems such as difficulty closing the eyes.
