Seldom do browlifts have to be redone. The muscles that generate unwanted creases and furrows are damaged so that their excursion is reduced or eliminated. Generally this lasts for many years.
Brow lifts, especially open (non-endoscopic) ones, typically have long-term to permanent results. If your forehead has horizontal wrinkles it could be because you are involuntarily lifting your droopy brows. After a brow lift you will not need to do this and the wrinkles do typically diminish.
Browlifts do not truly improve wrinkles in the forehead. The operation mostly repositions the eyebrows in a more youthful position.
Brow lift and forehead lift are 2 terms for the same thing. The cause of forehead wrinkles is hyperactivity of the muscles used to raise the eybrows, so if there is some sagging of the brow the muscles are working constantly to hold the brow up. This results in folding the skin into wrinkles that become set after a time. So in raising the brow surgically, the muscles can relax and the wrinkles soften. It is a long-lasting procedure.
There are bound to be varying opinions on this subject on this forum. Yes, I think a forehead lift is effective in softening the wrinkles on the forehead, and I think that the effects of the lift, if done properly, should last 7-10 years.
