Best type of brow lift to preserve the hairline?

Question

I have a relatively high forehead and low-set brows, which theoretically makes me an ideal candidate for the procedure, so I'd like to raise my brows by around 5 to 10 mm. However my face is both wide and long, and my current hairline looks proportional on it. Raise or lower it even by a centimeter and I get a balding or a round face look respectively. Is there a way to raise brows while somewhat preserving the hairline?

Performing a hairline incision will be your best bet. While this can lower the hairline a bit, it will prevent the hairline from going either up or down a significant amount, overall preserving your forehead length and face shape.

Patrick Felice, MD · Answer

If you measure your hairline from the mid brow to the hairline and it is more than 7 cm, you are not a candidate for a coronal (within the hair) brow lift. An endoscopic procedure will not give you longevity in your browllft.Options are:1. Hairline incision to lift eyebrows and reduce the length of the forehead.2. Direct excision within the border of the eyebrows,
Hope this helps.

Often times, patients think that the hairline is relatively low. I recommend you undergo a frontal incision to lower the hairline. This should not make your face rounder. If you insist on not moving the hairline then I recommend endoscopic browlift as an alternative.
