Can an expert explain how a browpexy differs from the browlift?
Answer: Browpexy Vs. Browlift The browpexy is a procedure with limited applications that’s designed to elevate and stabilize the eyebrow. The procedure is commonly performed in combination with upper lid blepharoplasty. Through the blepharoplasty incision the eyebrow is anchored to the forehead at a higher level. This procedure doesn’t lift the entire forehead, only the eyebrow. The eyebrow is fixed in a stable position where it has very little movement. In contrast, brow lifts can be performed with open or endoscopic approaches. This procedure involves lifting the entire forehead and results in a dynamic forehead with normal movements. Occasionally, browpexies are done in combination with blepharoplasty surgery in men with receding hairlines who want to avoid forehead scarring. In the vast majority of patients with brow descent the procedure of choice is the browlift. Both procedures have pros and cons, it’s therefore important to discuss aesthetic goals with your surgeon so the best option can be chosen for you.

Answer: Brow Lift
I do the brow pexy in people who need a brow lift but dont want one. I will do it through the upper eyelid incision and the goal is to hold the brow up for a while and not actually lift everything

Answer: Difference between browpexy and browlift
Browpexy is a more minimally invasive browlift performed through the upper eyelid. Meanwhile the term "browlift" is a much broader term which describes the lifting of the brow via a number of possible approaches (endoscopically, via an incision behind or on the hairline, via an incision directly above the brow, or via an incision in a forehead crease). To see what might be the best option for you, an in-person consultation is required. Have a nice day!

Answer: Browlift versus brow pexy
A brow lift can be in the form of an endoscopic lift, coronal lift, or temporal brow lift. A brow pexy is most likely direct elevation of the brow via a forehead incision or one that is done through an upper eyelid incision. It's difficult to recommend one for you without actually examining you.

Answer: Semantics?
Although some surgeons may delineate between these two terms, as mentioned above, some surgeons may use them interchangeably.
Some surgeons may use "browpexy" to describe the technique whereby one attempts to stabilize the brow position through eyelid approaches. This does not achieve a long lasting lift, but can give a nice subtle result.
It is important to discuss the goals of the surgery as well as different surgical approaches [coronal, pretrichial, trichophytic, mid-forehead, subciliary, endoscopic and trans-eyelid] with your surgeon. Each technique has its pros and cons and may be appropriate for different patients with different needs, and not all surgeons are well versed in all the different techniques.
Good luck
