Is it possible to hide the scar from a supra brow lift?

Question

Is it possible to hide the scar from a supra brow lift? I was told that Supra brow was a cheaper alternative to endoscopic brow lift.

Actually, the Supra (aka direct) brow lift is a much more powerful way to lift the brow than the endoscopic method.  The primary drawback is the potential of scarring.  The incision angle is important as is the location - it should be at the edge of the top brow hairs.  Closure is important as well - you want to have as little tension on the wound as possible.  Finally, the way it is closed is important to insure the scar is as thin as possible.  Most brow lifts are done for functional purposes, but for those requesting only minor lifts and wanting no scar, you should still consider an endoscopic approach.

Hope this helps

You did not say when the surgery was and what the scar looks like. The scar will never totally disappear but may fade to almost invisible over time if made by a skilled surgeon. After that, there is nothing you can do to change the scar. There are advantages and disadvantages of both methods. However, once you have chosen the supra-brow method, you just have to wait for the scar to mature.
