The location of your brow lift incisions will depend upon the type of brow lift performed. There are three main types of brow lifts that provide slightly different results depending on what the patient is looking to achieve: A temporal brow lift, or mini-brow lift, is used to lift the tail end of a brow in patients. The incision is along the temporal hairline so that when it heals, the scar is nearly impossible to find. An endoscopic brow lift uses smaller incisions that are hidden within the scalp so that they are never visible once they heal. We perform the lift with the aid of a tiny scope with a camera on the end to locate excess tissue underneath the skin. A traditional brow lift involves making an incision along the hairline. That way, if a scar does form, it will be extremely unnoticeable, as the hair will hide it. After the incision is made, the skin is pulled up, excess skin is removed, and then closed back together. Stitches for a traditional lift are removed after about a week to 10 days. This approach is used for patients with a high hairline or longer, rounded forehead and can be used for hairline lowering.
