Few procedures are as transformative when it comes to rejuvenating the upper face as the brow lift. At Sunder Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Sarmela Sunder, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, offers several advanced brow lift techniques tailored to your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. Whether you want to smooth deep forehead lines or subtly elevate your brows for a more rested appearance, understanding your surgical options is key.
Let’s explore the differences between endoscopic, traditional (coronal), and temporal brow lifts to help you determine the best approach for your needs.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
This minimally invasive technique is Dr. Sunder’s preferred method for many patients, offering effective elevation with less downtime and scarring. Small incisions are made within the hairline, allowing Dr. Sunder to use a camera-guided scope and specialized instruments to reposition tissue and elevate the brows. She uses Endotine implants for secure fixation, which gradually dissolve over time.
Benefits of an endoscopic brow lift include:
- Reduced scarring: Small, hidden incisions within the scalp.
- Shorter recovery: Less tissue trauma means a quicker healing process.
- Natural-looking results: Elevates the brow without an overdone appearance.
- Ideal for both women and men: Especially beneficial for male patients with receding hairlines, as incisions are discreet.
Coronal (Traditional) Brow Lift
Also known as the classic brow lift, this approach involves a long incision made across the top of the scalp from ear to ear, behind the hairline. While this technique allows for significant elevation and tightening of the forehead, it is more invasive and comes with longer healing times.
Coronal lifts may be recommended for patients with:
- Significant skin laxity or deeply set lines
- Thick, heavy foreheads needing extensive correction
- High hairlines that the incision won’t compromise
While effective, coronal brow lifts require greater downtime and may result in more visible scarring or hairline changes if not carefully planned.
Temporal Brow Lift
A temporal (or lateral) brow lift is a more limited technique targeting the outer third of the brows and temple area. Small incisions are made within the hairline near the temples, making it an excellent choice for patients seeking subtle improvement or enhancement of brow shape.
Best suited for:
- Younger patients or those with mild brow descent
- Individuals looking to elevate only the tail of the brow
- Combination with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery or mini lifts
Because it is less invasive, the temporal lift can often be performed under local anesthesia in-office, with minimal recovery and beautiful, natural results.
Which Brow Lift Is Right for You?
The ideal technique depends on your brow position, skin quality, hairline, and desired outcome. During your consultation at Sunder Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sunder will assess these factors and recommend the approach that best complements your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Whether you choose the full correction of a coronal lift, the precision of an endoscopic technique, or the subtle enhancement of a temporal lift, Dr. Sunder’s experience and artistry ensure results that feel both natural and transformative.
