Trichophytic Brow Lift: Ideal for patients with high hairlines. This open technique involves an incision hidden within the hairline to remove excess forehead skin and elevate the brows.

Coronal Brow Lift: Addressing More Significant eyebrows drooping. This traditional open technique involves a single incision across the top of the forehead, from ear to ear.
