Yes, you are right -- a traditional coronal brow lift will elevate your frontal hair-line and make your forehead look larger. You may be a candidate for a hair-line brow lift where a strip of forehead skin is removed along the hair-line. This will decrease the apparent size of your forehead - which sounds like what you want.
Of course the trade-off is a more visible scar that runs along the frontal hair-line. If the scar is created properly and you heal well the scar can be hard to notice. However, some patients can develop alopecia (hair loss), hyper/ hypo pigmentation or thickening of the scar.
I recommend that you seek consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss the treatment options.
