Browlift rechniques differ based on patient anatomy and goals
There are many different browlift techniques available and I have done them all. My favorite for most people is the endoscopic browlift, this can give an overall lift or just a mini lateral type of lift as well as reduce the frown lines and furrows between the brows. This has hidden incision so scars are never a problem.
I was doing the hair sparing lateral browlift for a few years so I did about 80 of them and thought the results were just OK and not as good as I was hoping for. (it...

Types of Brow Lifts
The type of brow lift that you need really depends on your anatomy. Without pictures, it is difficult to give you specific advice. If you only have lateral hooding (drooping of your brows) then a temporal lift is great. If you need an overall lift, then a full lift may better. This can all be done at the same time as your facelift. Good luck with your surgery.

Browlift
You have unfortunately approached the decision like the vast majority of patients (and some doctors). It is not that a procedure produces a certain look. Rather, you perform a certain operation to produce the look you desire. One person's lateral brow lift will produce a different "look" than another's, but both should hopefully produce the look that an individual patient desires and requires given his or her anatomy.

Is a lateral brow lift as good as a complete brow lift?
The goal of brows is to harmonize with the upper lids: some separation is necessary but too much elevation is not unnatural. There are many ways to help the brows appear attractive and youthful. In some patients a non-surgical brow elevation using a Botox, Dysport or Xeomin might be the answer. In others, injectible fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm to help inflate the brow area is sufficient. Other times it is only the lateral (outer) brow that needs elevation, so a...

A browlift should really be customized to the patient
A browlift should really be customized to the patient and the shape of their individual brows. Some patients need a full browlift and some need only a lateral lift. One is not better than the other. Each doctor should customize the procedure to the shape of that particular patient’s brow. Seeing an oculoplastic surgeon is ideal for browlifts because they are knowledgeable about the anatomy around the eyes. And, you want to find a surgeon who is known for his or her aesthetic eye....

Brow lift versus forehead lift
It really depends on whether you need a brow tail lift or a complete forehead lift. In most cases at your age group, a lateral or temporal brow lift is sufficient and very attractive. However, if you have many horizontal forehead lines, then a forehead lift may be needed.
