Hello everyone. So I was wondering. when I see before and afters of brow lifts, it seems most of them show an after photo in which the results of the brow lift have ended with brows that have been raised in a more diagonal,lateral fashion, whereas the medial part of the brow (part of the brow closer to the nose bridge) does not seem lifted at all much. Im wondering if this means brow lifts are only able to lift mostly laterally, and medially minimally? That would be neglecting the medial brow

Answer: Lateral Brow Lifting Many modern browlifting techniques focus more on lateral brow lifts and you can alter how much is done medially by the extent of dissection which includes the option of leaving the medial brow unchanged. I personally prefer browlifting techniques that elevate the lateral brow much more than the medial brow and this seems to be the trend in the field as well. Changing the medial brow often changes your facial expression in an undesirable way (e.g. more surprised or concerned looks) whereas elevating the lateral brow does not have these kinds of effects on your perceived expressions.

Answer: Are brow lifts only able to lift laterally and immediately? In our practice, a brow lift involves lifting the entire forehead, both medially and laterally. There are many parameters to consider such as raising a low hairline, lowering a high hairline, softening the vertical and horizontal creases in the forehead, and softening the corrugator, frontalis, and procerus muscles in addition to actually lifting the eyebrows. Also important to adjust any pre-existing asymmetries in the eyebrows which is very common.
