I think I would like a brow lift. I don’t understand the procedure for the lift. Where is the incision?

Question:

I think I would like a brow lift. I have forehead wrinkles, and I think a lift would pull up my brows enough so that they don’t overshadow my eyes. I don’t understand the procedure for the lift. Where is the incision? Is any skin removed? What type of sedation would I be under?

Answer:

There are a number of different browlift procedures. The coronal and endoscopic procedures have incisions in the hair bearing scalp, the pretrichial browlift has an incision right at the start of the hairline and the midforehead browlift has incisions in the forehead creases. The coronal, pretrichial and midforehead procedures do remove skin or scalp. These procedures are typically done under sedation or general anesthesia.
