Coronal brow lift and trichophytic brow lift, what is the difference and which one lasts longer?

Question

How do the Coronal and Trichophytic techniques differ fundamentally? Even if one doesn't mind their hairline going up, why doesn't everyone just get the Trichophytic brow lift since it preserves or can reduce the hairline? How do the Coronal and Trichophytic techniques measure in longevity? Ideally I'd never want to get my work redone.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Good Morning! Great questions. The coronal brow lift has largely gone out of favor due to the large incision needed and subsequent numbness that's created. The incision goes from ear to ear across the top of the head and hair loss near the incision can occur. I only really use this approach for massive facial trauma fracture repair. The trichophytic approach allows good camouflage and access for the surgical maneuvers. The forehead can be reduced and hairline preserved. I often combine this with an endoscopic approach for best results. Both last for a long time. Hope this helps!
