Brow lift incisions

Hello, The number of incision, their length and the method of suspending the brow are entirely surgeon dependent. I typically use two incisions placed in the temporal hairline measuring 3-4 centimeters and two very small incisions in the central scalp measuring 3-4 millimeters.

Short incisions in Endoscopic Browlift

There is not a generally accepted brow lift recognized as a "Mini-browlift." If you are referring to an endoscopic brow lift (also frequently called a "small-incision browlift" or an "endobrow,") then it is easy to answer.

Browlift

There are usually 3 incisions after a mini-browlift, but can vary from 2 to 5. The incisions are in the hairline and are 1-1.5 inches. This does not include the upper eyelid incision. Often, an upper eyelid incision is still needed after a browlift to remove remaining excess eyelid skin. We have trademarked the Invisiline procedure wherein the excess skin and the browlift are done through the upper eyelid incision. This avoids all brow and forehead... more

Mini-browlift

As the other s question what is a mini browlift, is it a lift that is less than that which is needed. A lateral brow lift has two incisions at the hair line , each about an inch long and in the lateral part of the forehead hairline. A direct brow lift would be at the brow and about as long as the brow.

I make 2 incisions at the hairline so as not to raise the hairline. Each us 1 inch long and your fair grows thru the hairline not behind it. We pioneered this technique more than 30 years ago.

Incisions Used In An Endoscopic Browlift

When you use the term 'mini-browlift', I assume you are refering to what is known as an endoscopic browlift. This is a miniature version of a traditional open browlift because the length of the incisions to do it are much less. This does not mean, however, that what gets down underneath the forehead tissues is any less. Most commonly, two to four small incisions behind the frontal and/or in the temporal hairline are used.
