How Do I Pay for Brow Lift Surgery? - Cosmetic Surgery Guide


Cosmetic Surgery Enquiry

Payment is a big issue for many people pursuing cosmetic surgeries, which is unsurprising considering the cost of many of those procedures. Fortunately brow lift procedures are not as costly as full body surgeries that are often more invasive, and hospitals and clinics will be able to accommodate a number of different payment methods.

Can the NHS pay for my brow lift?

Unfortunately because a brow lift is medically non-essential the NHS won't be able to fund the procedure, and you will have to bear the cost yourself. The NHS only provides funding for cosmetic surgeries where they are needed for health reasons, for example where breast size is causing back pain the NHS will fund a breast reduction surgery.

How much do brow lift surgeries cost?

You can expect to pay around £2,700 for a brow lift surgery, although this amount will vary a lot depending on the hospital, surgeon, and type of brow lift you choose. Endoscopic brow lifts are much cheaper for example, because they can be outpatient procedures and you don't need to bear the cost of an overnight stay at the hospital. Conversely coronal brow lifts are much more extensive and require a fully equipped operating theatre and at least one night's stay, making the procedure more expensive.

Different hospitals and clinics will also offer different packages which may or may not include follow up care, the cost of testing, and the fee for an initial consultation. These can be extra costs that need to be taken into account as well.

How do I pay for my brow lift surgery?

Fortunately most clinics understand that expensive procedures can be difficult to pay for. As such most clinics and hospitals will offer finance options that give you flexibility when it comes to paying for your surgery. You can usually find information about the different financing options a hospital or clinic is offering you through their website, so you can often take that into account when deciding which clinic or surgeon to use.

Finance options are usually available to you through a clinic, and will vary from facility to facility. 0% interest repayment plans or loans are often available, and if not then there are usually repayment plans with interest provided through a credit agency or something similar. When choosing one of these options you should always ensure that you are able to afford the cost.

If you are able to, then you can of course pay for a surgery completely by the usual means (cash, cheque, or credit card – depending on the clinic or hospital), or arrange your own financing. All these options are usually topics discussed during the initial consultation you arrange with a clinic.
