As we age our brow tends to drop, making us look stressed or tired. We want to acheive a more youthful rejuvenated rested look.

Louis M. DeJoseph, MD

Brow lift was traditionally performed with a coronal technique which meant an incision across the top of the head from ear to ear.  The forehead was undermined and pulled back, essentially raising the brows.

A: Lateral Browlift, Less Invasive, Better Results than Endoscopic Browlift

Michael Law, MD

If there is a facial rejuvenation surgery that is over-recommended and often overdone these days, it is without question the browlift.

Richard P. Rand, MD

Browlift surgery was traditionally done with an incision from ear to ear across the scalp. The forehead is lifted off the bone and the frown muscles are modified to weaken their function.
