How Long Are Lateral Brow Lift Incisions?

Each surgeon's lateral brow lift incisions are going to be different with respect to where they are placed and how long they are. Even in my own practice, each incision is going to be different for each patient as we tailor the individual procedure to the patient and his or her individual needs. Other factors such as prior surgical procedures, hair density, hairstyle, and any other concurrent procedures being performed will also play into the details of the lateral brow lift incision.Find a surgeon that you are comfortable with and have them explain the details of the incisions to you during your consultation.All the best,

Occasionally patients require an
isolated lateral brow lift to obtain an optimal aesthetic result following
facial aging.  This procedure can
usually be performed through a 2 cm incision that is placed well behind the
hairline.  This operation is
associated with high satisfaction rates, minimal
complications and short recoveries.

In most cases, the lateral browlift incision is 4 to 5 cms in length, sufficient for allowing the desired manipulation of the brows, while short enough to leave a fine line scar.
