A lateral brow lift can improve the appearance of the upper eyelids along with rejuvenation of the brow. When the lateral brow is repositioned above the orbital rim - the vertical elevation may eliminate the appearance of wrinkled or "crepey" upper eyelid skin. It the upper eyelid skin is hooded over the lateral corner of the eye, this area will improve as well. Very often, a lateral brow lift is done in conjunction with an upper blepharoplasty - however, sometimes just lifting the brow eliminates the need for skin excisions.

Brow Lift - Forehead Lift Surgery

Coronal Brow Lift is the oldest and most reliable technique in brow lift surgery. Other names for Coronal Lifts are:
The incision in a coronal brow lift involves running across the top of the crown of the head from ear to ear. Through this incision, your surgeon can alter the frontalis, procerus and the corrugator muscles - in which all contribute to horizontal forehead wrinkles and scowling. The surgeon removes around 1 to 2 cm strip of your scalp and sutures the remaining scalp together. The coronal brow lift procedure is more invasive than an endoscopic brow lift, however; it can end up lasting a much longer time.
