Coronal vs. endoscopic

I think you need to realize that most open (non-endoscopic) brow lifts performed today are hairline brow lifts and not coronal.

Coronal & Endoscopic Brow Lifts

With the coronal (incision within the scalp) and endoscopic brow lift the hairline is elevated, which for most people is an undesirable facial feature.

This is why we developed the Irregular Tricophytic Hairline Incision which enables us to maintain or lower the hairline position.

The only drawback is with any of these you have temporary numbness behind the incision.

Endoscopic versus open brow lift? Help!

In 1993 endoscopic plastic surgery was developed. Most common endoscopic procedure is the endoscopic brow lift or four head lift procedure. This procedure eliminates the need for a scar that exist from year-to-year which was common with the open technique. The open technique also creates a numbness from the incision line to the top of the head. This can be very problematic and troublesome for patients and if it can be avoided it is highly desirable. The endoscopic four head lift achieves a... more
