Scarring from direct brow lift

Question

I am considering getting a direct brow lift that is where the incision is made directly above the eye brow to lift the brows. I’ve read that if the incision is made at the glabella end of the brow this can result in more noticeable scarring than if the incision is made in the lateral part of the brow. My question is: how far from the glabella end of the brow should the incision commence to avoid risking noticeable scarring?

Brow lift above  the brow leaves s noticeable scar! A Better choice in my opinion is a brow lift using the Irregular Trichophytic technique  which Does not leave a noticeable scar. Having invented this and done more than 5000 I feel it is the best technique the average roller.
