Brow
lift / forehead lift may be appropriate for people with:
- Eyebrows
which are too low or have gradually descended with age.
- Deep
vertical creases between the eyebrows ( glabellar frown
lines)
- Deep
horizontal forehead creases.
- Eyebrow
asymmetry ( one lower than the other).
- Hair
line is too low.
The
three basic types of surgery are the endoscopic lift (several
small incisions), the classical or coronal forehead lift
(one longer incision), and the limited incision brow lift
(one incision on each side behind the hairline in the temple).
All
pictures are unretouched photographs of patients operated
on by Dr. Davidson. Individual results will vary. See About
Our Photos.

The
coronal lift incision is usually made 2-4 inches behind
the hairline for best concealment unless the hair line is
already too high. In this case, a hair line incision may
actually lower the hair line and shorten the long forehead.
Frown lines between the eyebrows are caused by the action
of the corrugator muscles. If permanent removal of these
muscles is desired, this may be included as part of the
brow lift/forehead lift.

lines and subtly raise the eyebrows.

Lift 2

Horizontal
forehead frown lines are caused by the action of the frontalis
muscles ( which elevate the eyebrows). Reduction in the
activity of frontalis muscles is more successfully done
with the classical or coronal lift than with the endoscopic
lift.
When
performing a brow or forehead lift, Dr. Davidson is careful
not to overdo the eyebrow elevation so that you will look
natural and attractive after the initial swelling has subsided.
