Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)

Reasons for a Brow Lift

• Aging: Over time, the eyebrows may droop, and forehead lines become more prominent.
• Genetics: Some individuals inherit a naturally low or uneven eyebrow shape.
• Muscle Weakness: Weakness in forehead muscles can contribute to drooping brows.

Types of Brow Lifts

1. Endoscopic Brow Lift – Minimally invasive, small incisions, quicker recovery, uses a camera for precision. 
2. Coronal (Open) Brow Lift – Traditional method, longer incision across the scalp, more dramatic results. 
3. Temporal (Limited) Brow Lift – Focuses on lifting the outer brows, often combined with eyelid surgery. 
4. Direct Brow Lift – Removes skin above the eyebrows, typically for functional or medical reasons. 
5. Non-Surgical Brow Lift – Botox injections relax the brow muscles, providing temporary lifting (lasts 4-6 months).

Procedure Overview

2. Incision:
