Can You Raise Your Eyebrows and Lower Your Hairline?

A browlift can be performed at the same time as a surgical hairline advancement procedure, shortening the forehead by lowering the hairline, and if desired elevating the eyebrows.  To change the actual size/shape of the eyebrows requires an eyebrow transplant, another procedure with which I have extensive experience.

     An incision at the hairline and removal of skin in front of the incision with some undermining of both flaps produces the result you seek.

Yes, you absolutely can "kill two birds with one stone" using a trichophytic incision.  The procedure is done by making an incision right at the hairline and then lift the connective tissue both forward, down to the brows and backward into the scalp.  This can advance the hairline up to an inch and sometimes even more while nicely lifting the brows.  Unfortunately, will not reshape them.  An eyebrow transplant is the only way to dependably reshape brows.

Yes. You can raise and reshape your brows while also reducing the forehead. This is done via a tricophytic incision. This is an incision carefully placed just behind the hairline that allows hair to grow through and camouflage the scar. This typically heals very nicely and would achieve your two goals and shaping and lifting your brows and lowering your hairline. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

It is certainly possible to shorten your forehead by performing a coronal incision at the hairline,  sewing the scalp forward and downward  and sewing it down firmly.  Then raise the brows, and trim off the extra bald skin.  For examples of this, please refer to our forehead lift  photo gallery on our website
