Have you ever caught your reflection and thought, “That’s not how I feel inside”? Your brows may have settled lower over the years, making you look sleepy, older, or simply unlike yourself.

A brow lift could be the treatment for you. It’s not about changing who you are; it’s more about restoring the natural, youthful look you love. Dr. A. J. Khalil, a world-renowned board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, CA, believes in customizing brow lifts for patient facial anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

With his high-level expertise, you achieve a beautifully smooth forehead that harmonizes well with your facial features. The right surgical approach can vary with each patient. Today’s blog covers four approaches.

Coronal Brow Lift: Traditional and Comprehensive

A coronal brow lift, also known as a traditional brow lift, is the most comprehensive option for significant forehead aging. It might be the right choice if you have severe forehead sagging and wrinkles.

This procedure involves an incision across the scalp, hidden within the hairline. The incision ends around each ear.

Dr. Khalil trims excess skin and repositions it. He also realigns the underlying muscles.

While it requires the largest incision, a coronal brow lift provides long-lasting, dramatic results.

Endoscopic Brow Lift: Minimally Invasive and Effective

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive approach to brow lifting. It can address forehead wrinkles and gently elevate the eyebrows without removing the skin, so it’s best for patients who have mild to moderate forehead aging.

For this procedure, Dr. Khalil creates a series of tiny incisions (less than an inch each) spaced across the scalp, hidden behind the hairline. He uses specialized tools, including a miniature camera and thin surgical instruments, to refresh the forehead.

Although the results aren’t as dramatic as a coronal brow lift, an endoscopic approach can give you a very natural, refreshed look.

Temporal Brow Lift: Targeted Enhancement for the Outer Brow

A temporal or lateral brow lift is the least invasive surgical option, with only two incisions in the temple area, just behind the hair. These incisions are slightly longer than an endoscopic brow lift.

This procedure focuses on the outer brow area, elevating the tail end of the eyebrows to create a more alert, youthful expression.

A temporal brow lift is best suited for early signs of brow sagging, especially at the corners. It doesn’t change the rest of the forehead. 

Trichophytic Brow Lift: Adjusting the Hairline and Forehead

A trichophytic brow lift solves two concerns: A high hairline (too much forehead showing) and forehead wrinkles. This technique involves an incision placed at the natural hairline.

Dr. Khalil removes some skin, which shortens the hairline, and repositions the remaining skin for a smooth, youthful brow.
