Should I Try Emsculpt Neo?
Is gravity starting to win the battle against your forehead, brows, and eyes? It happens to us all, but if you’re noticing a decline in the perkiness of your upper face, it might be time to consider a brow or eyelid lift. Here at Barr Aesthetics, we’ve helped countless patients refresh their looks with these procedures.
Do I Need a Brow Lift?
Do you see…
- A sagging brow line?
- Wrinkles across your forehead or between your brows?
- A heavy or tired-looking appearance in your upper face?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, a brow lift could be a good option for you. A brow lift raises the eyebrows, smooths out forehead lines, and can give your face a more alert and youthful look.
Do I Need an Eyelid Lift?
Do you see…
- Excess skin on your upper eyelids?
- Puffiness under your eyes?
- A feeling of heaviness in your eyelids?
If so, an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty may be the solution. An eyelid lift removes excess skin and fat, reduces puffiness, and can make your eyes look brighter and more open.
How Much Do Forehead Lifts Cost?
The estimated average cost of a forehead lift is between $2,500 and $19,000. This price varies based on whether you opt for just the brow lift, just the eyelid lift, or combine the two. Additionally, the cost varies if you opt for both an upper and lower eyelid lift. Let’s discuss your options at a consultation.
How Much Does Emsculpt Neo Cost?
Depending on how many treatments you require, the cost for Emsculpt Neo in Utah varies. The average cost for Emsculpt Neo ranges between $690 and $1,380. Please meet with one of our team to discuss how much each session will cost, and any payment options that may be available.
Is a Brow or Eyelid Lift Covered by Insurance?
It is not guaranteed that insurance will cover a brow or eyelid lift procedure. However, droopy eyelids that interfere with vision may be eligible for coverage. Please discuss your options with your insurance provider.
What’s the Brow Lift Procedure Like?
During the brow lift surgery consultation, Dr. Barr will examine your facial structure, the condition of your skin, and your hairline in order to decide which specific cosmetic surgery technique to use. The main difference among the various options for forehead lifting consists of the placement of the incision. Typically, Dr. Barr prefers to use an endoscopic technique. With this technique, small incisions are hidden behind the hairline and an endoscope is used to perform the surgery through these small incisions. During the procedure, Dr. Barr operates on the muscles that can cause frown lines, tightens loose skin, and lifts and reshapes drooping brows to provide a more youthful appearance.
What’s the Eye Lift Procedure Like?
Not infrequently, a brow lift is combined with blepharoplasty (an eyelid lift) or facelift surgery to provide a harmonious rejuvenation. The upper eyelid lift removes a precise amount of muscle, fat, and upper eyelid skin. Dr. Barr designs the incisions so that they lie imperceptibly in your natural lid fold. The result is a brighter, fresh appearance.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses lower eyelid bags. Dr. Barr hides the incision underneath the eyelid or just beneath the lash line. Fat and or muscle are meticulously removed or resuspended to provide a firmer, more youthful-appearing lower lid.
Blepharoplasty does not alter the “crows feet,” or wrinkles on the sides of the eyes. Those are best addressed with skin resurfacing or Botox. Though blepharoplasty is often performed as a single procedure, consultation with Dr. Barr can help you determine whether complementary surgery would increase the success of surgery.
What’s Recovery Like for Brow and Eyelid Lifts?
You will most likely experience bruising and swelling following a brow and/or eyelid lift procedure. Post-op, your eyes may feel dry, itchy, and watery. You may experience some redness in your eyes and discomfort as your eyes and brow heal. Plan to have someone drive you home from the procedure. It can take up to two weeks for clients to feel ready to return to work or other public activities after a forehead lift.
Swelling may remain for up to three weeks post-op, but keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can reduce help. You’ll be given specific post-op instructions to follow after your procedure, which may include details for keeping the surgical site clean and how to manage pain.

Leigh Cornu2023-06-07 Not only is Colle a phenomenal esthetician and helped my skin look and feel better than it ever has in my life, I leave feeling better just having spent time with her. She is thoughtful, attentive, results motivated, kind and caring. She approaches any concerns I have with my skin as if they were her own and spends time and attention on making me , and my skin! feel and look the best it ever has. Can’t recommend her more! hayley andrews2023-03-24 I had the pleasure of working with Dr Barr for my recent rhinoplasty, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From our initial consultation, Dr Barr listened carefully to my concerns and worked with me to develop a plan that would achieve the look I wanted. She used photos to help me visualize the final outcome and ensure we were on the same page. The actual procedure itself was a breeze, thanks to Dr Barr's expertise and attention to detail. I was amazed at the transformation when I saw my nose for the first time at my first post-op appointment. Dr Barr did an outstanding job and exceeded my expectations. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Barr to anyone considering a rhinoplasty or other cosmetic procedure. Her talent, dedication, and compassion make her stand out among her peers, and I am grateful for her exceptional work K. C.2023-03-14 I traveled from Los Angeles to Salt Lake to have my blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) performed by Dr. Barr because I knew she was exceptionally qualified as an ENT facial plastic surgeon. I had a wonderful experience. Dr. Barr understood (better than I did) my desired outcomes and provided excellent alternatives to a mini-facelift (which I thought I needed). The blepharoplasty was amazingly pain-free with a local anesthetic, and I had minimal swelling and bruising. Because I work remotely, the only downtime I experienced was the afternoon of the procedure. A week after the operation, it was hard to tell that I had had any work done! Besides the blepharoplasty, my treatment included strategic filler, lightened melasma, and Kybella to shrink jowls. In addition, I started a round of EMface sessions (which I finished in LA) to lift and tone my facial muscles and skin. It's been a month, and the results are stunning. Because it takes the results of Kybella and EMface longer to fully appear, I feel like I am getting younger every day. All of the clinic staff I met were lovely. Elle guided me through the process and ensured that I always had the information and products I needed in her kind and timely manner. She deftly and efficiently provided laser treatment to help minimize bruising. Whitney conducted my EMface therapy, and her calm, confident approach created a relaxed environment during the sometimes bizarre sensations of the procedure. Dr. Barr had my best interest at heart when deciding which and how much of each product to use, and I would encourage anyone considering these types of treatments to get her opinion before having any work done. If I had known I was only a few weeks away from feeling this refreshed, I would have done it long ago! Jeff Motta2023-02-28 Very professional business and Rey was able to put me at rest and was very clear about what to expect and explained what I would experience with my procedure. I would recommend Rey Ilada to everyone. Thank you! V Vineela Maddukuri2023-02-28 Absolutely love it. Susan explains everything so diligently and recommends really good products. She never pushes me to buy them. She is very thorough in all the procedures. Kozy2022-10-04 Dr Lucy Barr did my rhinoplasty in April of this year and I’m over the moon with how amazing it is. Every step of the process was painless and I was given excellent care by her, her husband (Dr Sharma did my functionality surgery at the same time) and her staff. My results exceed my expectations. I’m so pleased! Dr Barr has also reconstructed my earlobes (I used to have them stretched big in the early 2000s) and I’ve also had laser work done on my pigmentation on my face. I see Susan for laser work, Chase for injections and Elle for facials. Every single member of this team is a gem. The office is clean and beautiful and every one is kind and the best in their field. Thank you for helping me to look my best, I genuinely love all of you. Diane Guido2022-09-21 I rarely make online comments/reviews, but I felt this was important. The experience I have had at Barr Aesthetics has been fabulous! Colle has been doing a Med-lite treatment with me, and it has truly made a difference in the overall texture and tone of my skin. Of course, everyone is different, but this has certainly done wonders for me. And, Colle has been such fun to meet with over the past couple of months (and so caring) that I just want to post something. Oh, also, they have a cute little sign in the front office that asks you not bring young kids with you to the waiting room....I so appreciate that! Thank you Dr. Barr, Colle, and the whole office staff for everything that you do! Diane
