What is the Difference Between Temporal or Lateral Browlift Incisions?

                Temporal browlifts are lateral browlifts, and the incision is usually placed in temporal hairline.  I would not try to determine what is best for you.  This evaluation is complicated for some surgeons, and they have decades of schooling and knowhow.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of facial procedures and brow lifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. There are many variations on the theme with this procedure, but the incision is usually in eh hair or on the hairline.  Different doctors have their own style or way of being trained. The keys are the result, and the duration of benefit. I hope this helps.

 The incision for a temporal brow lift or a lateral browlift is in the temporal area usually measures between 2 and 3 inches long  in the temporal area  behind the hairline. It  does not address the central brow, corrugator  and frontalis function, glabellar lines or hairline placement. Please see link below for brow lifting results in our practice
