Is It Possible to Get a "Brow Lift" That Just Snips the Forehead Muscles but Doesn't Lift the Skin?

Asked By:Emily222

I understand that brow lifts pretty much consists of 1) snipping certain muscles in forehead to prevent continued forehead wrinkles and 2) lifting the skin back to tighten. Is it possible (or even advisable) to simply go in and snip the muscles to prevent the forehead from wrinkling without actually lifting the forehead skin? I was just thinking about someone who wanted a permanent solution (as an alternative to botox) to forehead wrinkling, but didn't need the skin lifted.
