I had a temperol brow lift, I believe as there is one incision in each temperol area inside the hair line. what will this technique accomplish? It did not get rid of my lines, as I was told it would do. Now, my ps tells me, what I asked for(above) cannot be done. what type of brow lift would accomplish the results posted in my question? I would appreciate a thorough answer as possible. thanks

Types of Brow Lifts

A temporal brow would never achieve your desired result. You need a full brow lift with either an Endoscopic Procedure or an Irregular Trichophytic Lift which can maintain good hairline position or improve it if necessary.

Irregular Trichophytic forehead lift for brows and lines.

We developed the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift 35 years ago to do exactly what you mentioned. It lifts the brows, removes excess forehead skin, deals with upper eyelid skin excess and I can lower the hairline as well. Hair grows thru the scar so that it is non detectable.

A "regular" browlift

Both endoscopic assisted and a traditional coronal browlift are designed to raise the brows, decrease wrinkling and improve the forehead appearance. The endoscopic lift is less invasive, has less sensory changes, smaller incisions and less risk of hair loss. The traditional open lift has longer incisions, more sensory changes, and higher risk of hair loss, but gives a more powerful lift and (I believe) better access for removal of the corrugator muscles. Good Luck!

Brow lifts help brow position more than help improve lines

Likely a more traditional brow lift will get you closer to what you want to achieve but expression lines will to some degree still be present even after the most aggressive brow lift. These expression lines will likely need Botox and fillers to help soften them.

Forehead lines

There are various types of brow lift and a personal consultation is needed to best understand which one is best for you. In regards to the lines between the brows (frown lines), surgery is not good for that; rather combination of botox and filler is best.

What type of Brow Lift will get rid of lines and raise eyebrows?

Brow Lifts are designed to soften forehead lines both horizontal and vertical Glabellar lines as well as raise the Eyebrows. I prefer the Coronal Brow Lift that IMHO is still the gold standard of Brow Lifts for reliability and duration of results. I don't recommend or perform Brow Lifts that place incisions anywhere on the forehead, where the scars are visible and never look like frown lines. Frown lines are dark and scars are white.

Coronal brow lift most successful technique

In my opinion, endoscopic brow lifts do not and will not deliver the results you are looking for. I would recommend having either a coronal or trichophytic (hairline) lift to correct all the issues you have expressed above. Best wishes, Dr. H
