Do endoscopic brow lifts raise the hairline or is it only coronal brow lifts that do that?

Question

I got conflicting answers from a Dr on this issue. Do endoscopic browlifts raise the hairline at the top of the forehead or not?

Robert T. Buchanan, MD (retired) · Answer

The answer to this question depends on how you define "raised." No brow lift actually raises the hairline if you mean increasing the distance between the brows and the hairline. The hairline does, however, move up on its position on the skull with any normal lift. You can, however, reduce the distance between the brow and hairline by modifying the incision used. This always involves excision of a strip of skin just at the hairline you wish to reduce.
