There's really been a shift within browlifts to limit the scar that's involved. For many years, patients had to undergo a coronal browlift, where the incision ran across the entire scalp or forehead area, and that could lead to loss of hair, a big scar, and also, for men, the potential of having a visible scar if there was hair loss. Today we are making smaller incisions for browlifts, which leads to smaller scars, and makes it less likely for there to be complications.
