Chemical
Chemical eyebrow lifting methods are amongst the least invasive ones. Some of the chemical methods do not require the brows or the forehead to be "lifted." Instead, the surgeon takes advantage of fillers to fill underneath the expression wrinkles and flatten them up. This procedure creates a more stretched look in the forehead area with fewer lines, therefore achieving a lifted forehead, eyebrows, and a younger appearance.
Another method for chemical eyebrow lifting is the use of Botox. Botox is a popular method in such applications lately due to its minimally invasive demand, little downtime, and application ease. Botox applications usually do not require an expert surgeon. A well-trained and experienced medical professional can competently, successfully, and safely apply Botox.
Despite its popularity and ease of application, Botox is one of the least permanent solutions. The chemical in Botox gets metabolized and loses its effect for 3-6 months.
Coronal
Coronal or classical eyebrow lifting is one of the most invasive eyebrows or forehead lifting techniques. In this method, the surgeon removes a piece of the forehead’s skin from ear to ear. Any excess tissue and fat are removed to obtain a more stretched look. If the surgeon deems it necessary, they can realign the muscles too. Then the surgeon attaches the lower part of the skin to the upper part. Since the excess skin is removed, a flatter and stretcher look is achieved after the operation.
The specific part of the skin that will be removed, the place of the incision, and such details may differ from surgeon to surgeon or patient to patient. Surgeons usually prefer to start the incision right below the hairline to prevent causing a change in the hairline and conceal the incision.
Endoscopic
Endoscopic eyebrow lifting is also a surgical technique, but it's much less invasive than coronal eyebrow lifting. In this method, instead of removing whole patches or strips of skin from the forehead area, surgeons access under the skin through much smaller incisions. Through one of these incisions, the surgeon inserts an endoscope. Surgical tools are inserted through separate incisions.
After accessing the muscle tissue under the skin, the surgeon pulls muscles or groups of muscles upwards and fixes the muscle tissue with strings or hook-like tools. Sometimes wire and mesh-like tools or implants are also used for the same purpose. However, the fundamentals of the operation are the same regardless of the specifics of the tools used.
Surgeons may prefer endoscopic eyebrows lifting because it's less invasive, minimizing the risks of open surgery, and causes less downtime. Also, during an endoscopic eyebrow or forehead lifting process, the incisions are usually made above the hairline. Thus, even if scar tissue forms, the marks can be easily concealed under the hair.
