William Portuese, MD answers: How long are lateral Brow Lift incisions?

How long are the incisions on each side of the head for a lateral Brow Lift? How far back are they from the hair line? Thank you.

The lateral browlift incisions can be made at the hairline or behind the hairline depending upon the patient and surgeon’s choice. They are usually approximately three inches long and are blended in the hairline. The preexisting hairline will determine where the incisions are made.
