Definitions for "Brow lift"
The brow lift or forehead lift addresses a drooping or "ptotic" forehead. There are two common techniques used for this procedure. A "coronal" brow lift incision is placed ear to ear across the top of the forehead. The excess tissue is removed and the brow is pulled up and sutured into the new lifted position. The "endoscopic" brow lift is performed with tiny incisions (approximately 4-6) that are placed at the hairline, and the brow is lifted and affixed to underlying tissue. This is often done in conjunction with eyelid surgery to produce a refreshed and youthful result on the top third of the face.
