Brow lift, coronal approach vs endoscopic
The coronal brow lift is a very safe and successful operation compared to the endoscopic brow lift. The coronal approach gives more predictability and has less revision rate than the endoscopic lift. With the coronal brow lift, the hairline can be either moved up or down depending upon placement of the incision. The hairline can be brought forward ½ inch through an incision at the pretrichial area. Precise surgical adjustments of the corrugator frontalis...

Endopscopic versus open brow lift
You have asked a very relevant and controversial question, so my answer is long, but hopefully, thorough.
When endoscopic brow lift was introduced about 10-12 years ago, all the meetings gave the impression this is now the "way to go" since it has smaller incisions and potentially can leave the sensation in the scalp intact. It was said if any one performs the open technique, that doctor "lives in the dark ages"! The problem was, if one looked at before and after...

In the Majority of Patients, the Open, Traditional Browlift Offers No Advantages Over Endoscopic Browlift
This is a very difficult question to answer without the benefit of a physical examination or patient photographs. Each patient needs to be considered individually and the best option varies from patient to patient. In our experience the best choice of procedure depends on several factors. These include the patient’s aesthetic goals and the specifics of their forehead anatomy. In some cases, the surgeon’s experience with a particular technique may also contribute to his recommendation...

Coronal Browlift, Endoscopic Browlft or Later Browlift
If there is a facial rejuvenation surgery that is over-recommended and often overdone these days, it is without question the browlift.

Coronal vs endo brow lift
A coronal and an endo brow lift are both good operations in the right patient. The endo has less incisions, usually avoidspotential numbness of the scalp and avoids potentatial alopecia of an open brow lift. But may not last as long.

Coronal vs Endoscopic Browlift
The choice of coronal vs endoscopic browlift depends on the experience of your surgeon and your individual needs. Excellent results can be achieved with both. The disadvantage of these tecniques is they will elevate your hairline. A trichophytic (hairline) incision will maintain or improve hairline position with the browlift operation.

Brow Lifting
There are various types of brow lifts, which have arisen over the years.
The most popular is the endoscopic approach, which has been around for over 10 years at this point. Other approaches, like the coronal have been used for decades. Variations of these approaches, such as trichophytic approaches also exist.
There are pros and cons of and indications for each type or approach. The endoscopic approach is the most popular, since it avoids problems with long scars, hair loss at the...

Choosing a Scalp (Coronal) VS Prehairline VS Endoscopic Brow (Forehead) LIft
The choice of a Forehead (Brow)Lift depends on multiple factors including, extent of forehead/brow sagging, height of the forehead, extent of scalp hair, location of the hairline, patient and surgeon preference / bias and which other procedures are being done.
The Coronal brow lift has been THE gold standard in lifting the brows for many years. It is unrivaled in its predictable ability to lift the brows symmetrically and maintain the fixation. But fell out of favor because of the crown...

Endoscopic vs Coronal Browlift
The first question is why have you seen 6 surgeons. Too much information is worse than not enough. You need to find one with whom you can communicate and trust, even if that one uses the coronal incision. It is a tried and true method, though I, personally, find no reason to use it now. The scar is much longer with more risk of problems with hair growth and everyone has a numb scalp afterward.
I can do everything needed through smaller, less conspicuous incisions that heal well and do not...

Browlift approaches
Certainly, a coronal browlift is still the gold standard for browlifting: it is safe and effective.
Efficacy is probably superior to "endo-brows" if you would compare the results from multiple facial cosmetic surgeons. The reason lies in the basic technical difference: the endo-brow shifts the whole scalp, forehead and brows backwards and relies on this new position to hold up over time. In contrast, open browlifts (i.e. coronal and hairline approaches) allow for removal of scalp...

Coronal vs. endoscopic brow lift
Coronal brow lift and endoscopic brow have usefulness depending on what you are trying to do. Coronal lifts are very safe and can do things that endoscopic brow lifts cannot now, and vice versa. While most modern surgeons will attempt to use the limited incision approach, whether or not an endoscope is actually used, one thing the coronal lift can do is to lower the hairline if you have a high forehead.
Each procedure must be judged on its own merits as to whether or not it produces the...

Very Few Reasons to Have a Coronal Lift
The two forms of brow lift I offer in my practice are endoscopic (smaller incision) and trichophytic (wavy incision along the hairline). I use the endoscopic approach for patients who have normal hairlines. Frankly, most patients will choose a procedure that offers smaller incisions. However, in situations where a patient has a higher hairline, an approach must be chosen that will stabilize or even lower the hairline. The trichophytic approach affords the surgeon the ability to raise the...

Coronal versus Endoscopic Brow Lift
The traditional method of performing brow lift is the coronal technique with an incision in your hair. This method give the most "pull" on your brows. New techniques, such as endoscopic, are also effective and only require a few small incisions. Also, some techniques use a combination of a partial coronal incision and the endoscope. So, it really depends on the training of your surgery and which procedure is most appropriate for your anatomy. All of the techniques are good...
