Is it possible to do both a hair line brow lift and forehead reduction at the same time?

The reason an at the hairline brow lift incision is used is to not lengthen the forehead height or move the hairline back on the scalp. Therefore forehead reduction is routinely performed during this procedure.

Absolutley, a hairline browlift will not only raise your brows to a more youthful position and open up the upper eyelid,it will also reduce the forehead at the same time.  Many patients are fearful of a browlift, but this is a great procedure with long lasting results.  Scott Harris, MD

Thank you for your question.Yes, the hairline brow lift is the procedure of choice to reduce the forehead.

To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic
surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a
good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Absolutely.  The incision would be along the hairline, and both can be accomplished at the same time. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

YES, through a hairline incision (pretrichial), both the brows can be lifted and the hairline can be lowered.  In fact, that is one of the advantages of using hairline incision for brow/forehead lift.

A hairline approach to a browlift procedure by definitiion lowers the hairline or reduces the height of the forehead. IN fact there are times in which the lifting of the brows is not tha major goal but instead the goal becomes lowering the hairline.

Absolutely! In fact, when choosing the hairline incision to preserve the location of the hairline, you are removing forehead skin at the same time. In order to LOWER the hairline the posterior scalp is mobilized so it will slide forward upon closure.

This is done through a classic trichial or pretrichial browlift meaning the incision is made across the hairline.  It is a very straight forward technique.  Just make sure the surgeon uses an incision that does not sacrifice hair and provides a camouflage type incision.  Some surgeons use sinusoidal incisions and others use better everting suturing techniques while beveling the incisions.  These can provide great outcomes. 

Absolutely. If you have a high, but full, hair line and heavy brows these procedures can be performed together. This is a common combination of procedures. Ensure that whomever you discuss this procedure with performs alot of hairline or trichophytic browlift procedures. The incision needs to be carefully marked and meticulously created to allow hair to grow through and camouflage the scar. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

 Yes, it is possible to do a hairline brow lift and forehead reduction at the same time. A candidate to have this performed will have a low brow position AND a high hairline. The incision is designed to be placed at the hairline, so that  when the brows are lifted, the excess skin that is removed is the non-hair bearing skin. The scalp can also be sutured downwards to assist in lowering the hairline. For many examples ,please see the link below
