Temporal sounds good to reduce crows feet and heighten the lateral brow. Also like it bc of the recovery time . But I also see forehead wrinkles that I wouldn't mind losing(or decreasing). My question is , am I better off getting temporal and Botox for forehead wrinkles or should I bite the bullet and just get the coronal ? Also, what is the cost difference ? I think I was quoted $5400 but I can't remember which one it was . Sorry pics are upside down .

Answer: Temporal browlift The temporal area is where there is usually the most descent of the brow. So often just lifting the lateral brow will be enough. If you need the central brow elevated, most people now perform an endoscopic brow to help decrease the risk of scarring. Tough to tell from your pictures if you would need this. Also, if you are someone who elevates your brow when you speak - as part of normal animation - you will continue to do this after the surgery so that you will still have some lines.

Answer: Temporal brow lift vs Coronal lift? Hello Fields983,That is an excellent question. When it comes to raising the brow, there are many options. Any time in medicine when there are many options, it means there is not one perfect option. Although there are several made above the eyebrow directly and others in the creases in the forehead, these are not good options for you. The temporal incision allows raising of the outer aspects of the eyebrow, like you mentioned. To raise the middle part of the eyebrow, you need an incision somewhere near the middle of the face. To do this there is the trichophytic incision which is made just in front of your hairline. This helps to raise the eyebrows but also lower a high forehead. The coronal incision is made about an inch or so within the hair. This works to raise the brow but also elongate the forehead because hair is removed. Another option is the endoscopic approach. This uses several small incisions within the hair. There is debate on which of these is the best option and has the longest results, so this should be discussed with your surgeon. As far as pricing, it depends on what you have done, where it is done (office or surgical center), and how much it costs to do business where you go. I'd recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who does a lot of facial work to determine what is the best option for you.I hope this helps and good luck.
