When you look in the mirror, do you notice issues like sagging eyebrows or forehead wrinkles that make you seem tired or older? You may want to consider a brow lift to rejuvenate your upper face.

At Ohio Clinic for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery, under the direction of Dr. Michael H. Wojtanowski, MD, FACS, patients benefit from over three decades of experience in plastic surgery. Dr. Wojtanowski specializes in facial procedures, including faceliftseyelid surgeries, and brow lifts.

This blog explores three popular types of brow lifts to help you determine which is right for you.

1. Endoscopic Brow Lift

An endoscopic brow lift involves a tiny camera and small incisions hidden within the hairline.

Benefits include:

  • Minimal scarring
  • Shorter recovery time
  • Subtle and natural-looking results

This technique works best for those with mild to moderate sagging who want a minimally invasive option.

2. Trichophytic (Open) Brow Lift

The trichophytic or open brow lift involves a longer incision along the hairline, allowing for more significant lifting and repositioning.

Some patients choose this option for:

  • More noticeable correction
  • Longer-lasting results
  • Smoothing deep forehead lines

This procedure is best suited for people experiencing more pronounced sagging in the forehead and brow area.

3. Temporal Brow Lift

The temporal brow lift focuses on the outer portions of the brows. It is less invasive than the open method but more targeted than the endoscopic approach.

This surgery:

  • Lifts the outer brow area
  • Improves crow’s feet and lateral brow droop
  • Has a shorter recovery period than an open browlift

This technique is ideal for those seeking moderate changes without full brow repositioning.

Which Brow Lift is Right for You?

Selecting the most appropriate brow lift method depends on factors like the degree of sagging, your aesthetic goals, and your general health.

Meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Wojtanowski, ensures a personalized approach. A consultation helps you understand the benefits and considerations of each technique, guiding you toward the best choice for a natural and rejuvenated appearance.
