What are the different browlift techniques?
In the past decade, science has developed a number of approaches that specifically address different brow problems. Transpalpebral surgery is conducted entirely through eyelid incisions, usually with an accompanying eyelid lift. No incisions are made in the scalp, and only limited raising of the eyebrows is possible. This procedure is ideal for correcting vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. The temporal browlift requires two small incisions in the scalp. This procedure lifts the eyebrows and is performed only with a concurrent eyelid lift. The between-eyebrow muscles are reached through the eyelid incision; brow elevation is achieved through the scalp incisions. When appropriate, I most often choose the endoscopic browlift. Using 2-5 small incisions in the scalp, the muscles are shortened and the eyebrows elevated using an endoscope, a tool for visualizing the internal structures of the forehead skin on a monitor. No eyelid incisions are needed, vertical wrinkles are minimized, and
