Endoscopic Browlift Versus Hairline Browlift?

There are many methods for performing a browlift or forehead lift including an endoscopic browlift (through tiny incisions with the assistance of telescopes) , bicoronal forehead lift (extensive incision from ear to ear across the top of the head) and a tricophytic or hairline browlift. (hidden along the hairline. Each of these techniques achieves a similar result through the brow and the forehead in terms of smoothing of lines and gentle elevation of the brows.

The key difference is in how they affect your hairline. The Bicoronal (ear to ear) browlift elevates or pulls your hairline back, raising the frontal hairline by up to one inch. The Endoscopic lift has minimal effect of the position of the hairline. The tricophytic or hairline browlift can be used to adjust the hairline, usually lowering it to address a receding hairline or widow's peaks in the temporal hairline.
 

I always caution my patients that they continue to age and that no procedure is permanent, however, if performed by a board certified, facial plastic surgeon, your results should be very long lasting.

Best of luck!

Results of a hairline browlift tends to be more stable and tends to last longer. There is a lot of variability with the amount of relaxation from an endoscopic browlift since there is no skin removed. A pretrichial incision can be performed on the patients with a high hairline to enable the hairline to be lowered approximately ½ inch. Addressing the corrugator, frontalis, and procerus muscles is also performed if needed at the time of the surgery.
