Sub-brow Lifts Do They Work?

  There are many different brow lifting techniques such as endoscopic, coronal in (behind the hairline or at the hairline), and direct brow lifting. Patient's individual anatomy,  brow position, wrinkles and muscle strength and hairline position all determine which technique to use.  We do not recommend a brow lift for minimal brow ptosis. Please see  the link below for many before and after examples of coronal brow lifting results from our practice.

I assume you are referring to a brow lift from below the eyebrows, done through eh upper eyelid crease.  This in minimally effective and in most situations of limited longevity.  A surgical brow lift (hairline) is likely going to give you the greatest longevity 

"Sub-brow" lift is not a term that surgeons use to describe the different techniques in brow lifting. A "direct" brow lift is the technique with the incision is directly above the eyebrows, usually in a preexisting crease or wrinkle. It is a good technique in an older person with very deep wrinkles and a significant brow droop.

There is an "brow lift" technique that is achieved through a well hidden eyelid crease incision. However, this does not adequately raise the eyelid, but rather stabilizes it. It can potentially give a very subtle lift, but I would not use it in someone that needs a significant brow elevation.

A pretrichial [hairline] browlift can last ten years or longer, and in my opinion is the most effective and cosmetically pleasing approach, in a person with the appropriate hairline.
