Browlift & Hairlines
It depends on how it is performed. When I perform a temporal or lateral brow lift I usually place the incision in the hair which only slightly moves the hairline (up & back). If I need to move the hairline then I plan on a different incision. So, it can be accomplished either way.
I would discuss a minimally invasive brow lift, as well, for a gentle forehead elevation and small trim of the upper lids. From your photos you will look great. Good luck!

Temporal brow lift and the hairline
If the incision is made right in front of the hairline, it will not change it. If the incision is made back within the scalp, then, whatever skin is removed to elevate the temporal brow will recede the hairline about that amount. If there is no skin removed, then the longevity of the brow lift will likely be relatively short

Type of brow lift
Probably the best brow lift for you would be the trichophytic hairline brow lift.
You also seem to have some eyelid ptosis and may benefit from correction of that

A limited incision, temporal or lateral brow lift can alter the hairline, or not
A limited incision, temporal or lateral brow lift generally involves using very small incisions above the hairline in the temporal region to elevate the lateral aspect of the eyebrows and improve the contour of the upper eyelids in this region. I will generally place the incisions involved in this procedure above the hairline and remove some skin in addition to elevating the muscle and soft tissue beneath the skin. Removing a small amount of skin in this area further...

Temple lift and incision options
A temporal brow lift is a nice procedure that addresses lateral brow ptosis (sagging). It will not address the medial brow (the portion of the brow that is closest to the upper part of the nose). Typically, 1-2cm of skin is removed. If the incision is placed in the hair it is well camoflouged but you will get a slight alteration in the hairline position. If the incision is placed just in front of the hairline the position of the hairline will not change but the scar will be more visible...

Temple lift with facelifts and effect on hairline
Temple lifts are usually done with a small incision behind the hairline. for most patients this will not have a significant change in the hairline or sideburn. If the incision is place at the hairline. it can actually lower it and can be used for this purpose in some patients

A temporal (lateral) brow lift is tried-and-true to raise the eyebrow arch, smooth wrinkles & reduce frown lines
Although the browlift technique can be used purposely to alter the hairline position, your hairline should remain in the same position. It depends on the technique used by the surgeon. For our readers, the ideal female eyebrow should curve upwards to the arch, going from inner to outer (just look at eyebrows in photos of people you find attractive). Over time, the outer eyebrow drops down. A temporal brow lift is really the gold standard technique for elevating the outer half (i.e. the...

Temporal lift will raise the hairline
A temporal lift will raise the hairline. For men or women with receding hairlines or high foreheads, a temporal lift may elongate the forehead. As with all facial operations, a procedure for you has to be designed taking into account your facial structure. If the incision is placed in front of the harline, just be advised that the scarring may be evident and this would be a downside that most patients would not elect to risk.

Hairline and temporal browlift
Yes, your hairline will change after any browlift procedure. How depends on the approach and incision placement chosen by your surgeon.
For instance, a majority of women in their 40s and 50s experience some degree of temporal hairline recession. of the incision is placed within this thinning hair. the hairline esthetics may barely change. if the incision is placed behind the thinning hair, the hairline will be higher.
Therefore, I like to use a hairline-lowering or...

Isolated temporal lift not meant to correct upper eyelids
Isolated temporal lifts usually do not address the upper excess skin on the upper eyelids. Based on your photo, a blepharoplasty may be the best solution for you.
