Brow lift can be done in several ways which differ in scope and scar placement.

Direct brow lift is the easiest method. It can be done in local anaesthesia and excess skin is removed direct over the eyebrow. Scar is hidden in the upper line of eyebrow hair or with cosmetic eyebrow tattoo.

Minimal invasive and endoscopic brow lift is the best option especially for younger patients. This type of brow lift has become the procedure of choice for most surgeons as it only requires small, less invasive incisions. With 2-5 small incision 1cm behind hairline, surgeon dissect the tissue of the forehead and lifts it in the position. At every location they are two deep permanent sutures and some sutures in hairline.

Trichophytic brow and forehead lift is commonly used for patients with higher hairlines. A portion of forehead skin is removed (rather than raising the hairline) to elevate the eyebrows. The procedure uses an incision made just behind the hairline. The incision is performed so that hair will grow right through it, camouflaging it.

A lateral or temporal brow lift is a less extensive brow lift technique that only addresses the outer one-third portion of the eyebrows rather than the full brow area. The lateral brow is the portion that descends first as we age, creating heaviness to the upper eyelid. The temporal brow lift helps reverse this and is often combined with an upper blepharoplasty. Compared to other brow lift types, the temporal lift yields less dramatic results, but also has less risk and shorter healing times.
