Why is a coronal forehead lift best for women?

A coronal browlift could be said is most beneficial for women because the incision is hidden in the the scalp about an inch above the hairline. However, it should be recommended for those who have short foreheads. The coronal lift widens the forehead. A widened forehead will give the immpression of an older person (receding hairline). So be careful in choosing this type if you already have a wide forehead, unless you are willing to mask it with bangs. I have found... more

Coronal brow lift

Technically, with a coronal brow lift, the incision is made at or near the top (the crown) of the head. This is not a commonly performed procedures as it can produce a very high forehead. Most surgeons today prefer the trichophytic hairline brow lift which in my humble opinion produces the most reliable and long-lasting brow lift.

Coronal forehead lift for women

A coronal forehead lift is performed to address the aging forehead. This consists of softening the frontalis, corrugator, and procerus muscles of the forehead to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles. The coronal approach incision can be made either at the hairline or behind the hairline, depending upon where the patient’s preexisting hairline is. A woman with a high hairline will want to have her hairline brought down so that the bald forehead skin is discarded and... more

Coronal brow lift versus other options for female brows

In my opinion and many others, the endoscopic browlift is the best option since it avoids a scar and does not affect the hairline. Endosocpically, you can directly targe the furrow and the scowl lines.

Why is a Coronal Forehead Lift Best for Women?

The Coronal Brow Lift is the gold standard of Brow Lifts because it works and is reliabvle. The excess scalp removed is what elevates and hold the eyebrows up, not sutures, hooks or threads that can give way over time. Women have less hair loss and therefore are more able to hide the incisions placed ~ 3 inches inside the hairline.

Best Forehead Lift for Women

Coronal forehead lifts are rarely used to treat glabellar scowl or frown lines. Endoscopic browlifts do not distort the hairline and through this incision the corrugator muscles which cause the wrinkles in between the eyes may be eliminated. The lateral brow is best addressed through a temproplasty. A small incision is placed in the temporal region of the scalp to raise the lateral part of the eyebrow. The hairline is not distorted. The above two procedure... more

Why is a Coronal Forehead Liftt Best for Women?

It is very rare that a coronal lift is the best technique for eyebrow and forehead lifting because an incision from ear to ear is necessary and the hairline is always elevated. Endoscopic brow lifts are less invasive, but they also will raise the hairline. I prefer this approach in patients with low hairlines. Every month I see patients who are satisfied with their brows after these 2 procedures, but want to lower their elevated hairlines. This is why we developed the... more

Are surgeons still recommending coronal browlifts?

Are surgeons still recommending coronal browlifts? That is amazing to me, since surgical and non-surgical options are now so superior to the older techniques. To clarify, a coronal browlift involves making an incision across the scalp or along the frontal hariline-- basically from ear to ear. The corrugator muscles(muscles that cause the brow to scowl) are transected. Then, a large section of scalp or forehead skin is removed. This can result in the overdone or "deer in... more

Frown Line Treatments

The concept of removing frown or scowl lines should be modified to that of treating them. There is no truly permanent method of removing them. Their action can be reduced by partial muscle avulsion through either an open (coronal) or closed (endoscopic) browlift. Their are advantages to either approach depending upon other brow and forehead features. Botox still remains as the most effective method of reducing glabellar furrows and frown lines albeit it not permanently.

What is "Best" for Rejuvenation of the Forehead

There are a multitude of options for rejuvenation of the forehead. Comprehensive treatment should include repositioning and reshaping of the brows (not just raising them up!), treatment of deep wrinkles and furrows of the forehead, softening of hyperactive and undesirable muscles (i.e. "permanent" Botox) and possibly contouring of tissues with fat injections (and sometimes bone modification). The gold standard continues to be the coronal (open) browlift with the main... more

Coronal lift for frown lines

First, you have to determine if the lines you are talking about are static or dynamic or both. Carefully anatomical analysis will determine the cause. Treatment should be targeted to the specific anatomical cause. Some dynamic lines can be treated simply with Botox, while others require surgical intervention. Coronal incision lifts do have a place and purpose but they cannot be said to be more effective, or necessary, solely for frown or scowl lines. Robin T.W. Yuan, M.D. more

Your statement is absolutely wrong!

The coronal forehead lift is a debilitating procedure that has been replaced by the endoscopic forehead lift using an endoscope and small incisions. Surgeons continue to cut, rip out, hack up facial muscles. These types of procedures can lead to atrophy of the brow tissues. A better approach is to customize the procedure to your issues. One size does not fit all.

Browlift and Frown Lines

The frown lines between the eyebrow may be improve by disrupting the muscles in the brow area that contribute to frowns. This can be done through an eyelid incision (such as in a blepharoplasty), and endoscopic brow lift, or an open brow& forhead lift (including a coronal lift). The open brow & forehead lift (hairline or coronal incisions) also allows for removal of extra skin and may give a more powerful brow elevation. The downside of a coronal lift is the moving back of the... more

Brow lift for frown and scowl lines

As one ages, the eyebrows start to descend. In response, the forehead muscles (frontalis) contracts. This leads to the horizontal creases in the forehead. Also, there is contraction of the muscles in between the eyebrows (corrugator and procerus). This leads to frown or "angry" lines. A browlift will lift the eyebrows and lessens the need for contraction of the frontalis. During a browlift, the frontalis can be weakened to further decrease forehead... more
