Browlift and forehead lift are identical operations

There is no difference between a brow lift surgery and a forehead lift surgery.  Just different terms for the same operation that can be done endoscopically or through a coronal approach.

Browlifts and forehead lifts are the same terms for essentially the same procedure. Both describe elevating the eyebrows to a point that increases the aesthetics / beauty of the eyebrow / eye region to help with tired eyes and extra eyelid skin and drooping brows.

There are many ways to approach the brow lift. You can make an incision along the hairline, behind the hair, or in a forehead crease and the extent of each differs. Importantly, knowing exactly how much to pull up the eyebrows are essential for a great result. You may have seen results in the media of people who don't look natural. You may have seen Joan Rivers, Pamela Anderson, etc. with brow lifts that leave them looking surprised. The reason for this is that our understanding of aesthetics is not solid at this point. We really don't know how much the brow should be above the eyelid margin.

 Technically a forehead lift is a procedure done from incisions in the scalp through which the entire forehead is lifted. A browlift is done by making an incision just above the eyebrow and lifting it directly.  This is usually reserved for older men with deep lines in the forehead.  

In real practice, though, the terms browlift and foehead lift are the same.
