Can corrugator supercilii be released during lateral brow lift?

You have a very high forehead and the eyebrows are below the orbital rim. I would recommend an open browlift to lower the hairline down, raise the eyebrows higher and release the corrugators.

Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for submitting a great question alongside your photos. The short answer is 'no', the corrugator muscles cannot be accessed or released with a lateral brow lift approach. An endoscopic brow lift approach provides access for corrugator myotomies which weaken the muscles; alternatively, neuromodulators (i.e. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, etc) can be used to weaken these muscles for a temporary effect. Having said that, not every surgeon performs myotomies routinely with the endoscopic brow lift technique, and you would want to specifically discuss this with your surgeon.

I would suggest endo forehead to cut corrugator muscles and remove small amount of skin from upper eyelids. Lateral brow lift will not change the area that concerns you.
