Techniques

There are a variety of techniques for achieving a brow lift:

• Endoscopic brow lift – This is by far the most common technique. With this method, small incisions are made in the scalp to gain access to the soft tissue of the forehead. A tiny camera called an endoscope is introduced through these incisions so that all vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels are kept safe. To use this technique an optimal hairline must be present.
• Pretrichial brow lift – This technique is used in those with a high hairline because it lowers the hairline at the same time it raises the eyebrows. The incision (called a trichophytic incision) is beveled so that hair actually grows through it after 2-6 months camouflaging the incision.
• Coronal brow lift – A coronal brow lift involves an incision about 4 centimeters behind the hairline. It is often utilized for those with a recessed hairline to hide the incision.

When considering a brow lift Austin & Dallas facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sarah Saxon will perform a comprehensive exam of the eyes, forehead, and hairline to tailor the surgical technique to your specific needs.
