Five Brow Lift Techniques
The surgical techniques used for a brow lift procedure vary depending on the severity of skin laxity, the skin condition, and the hairline location. Dr. Mata matches the technique to your anatomy and goals.

Restore a smooth, fresh look of youthfulness — addressing forehead furrows, wrinkles, lines, and the tired/worn look that comes with aging.
Brow Lift at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata — board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon — at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.
Laughing, smiling, crying, and squinting are all everyday facial movements that gradually cause your forehead to develop unwanted furrows, wrinkles, and lines. Coupled with the inevitable effects of aging, this can create forehead lines that lead to a tired, worn look that robs you of your confidence in social and business situations. However, through a brow lift procedure by Scottsdale, AZ board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (a.k.a. Dr. Scottsdale®), men and women with aging facial skin can restore a smooth, fresh look of youthfulness. A brow lift can provide you with a healthy, new look that revitalizes your appearance and rejuvenates your self-esteem.

This surgical technique places the incision along the natural upper brow's hairline. The focus is to trim away excess skin and tighten the remaining skin and underlying tissues to create a rejuvenated facial appearance. The weak tissues are reattached to the brow bone by sutures.
This treatment doesn't resolve issues of wrinkles on the upper forehead. It is great for male patients, as they have more hair so the scar is easily concealed. This procedure is done in our Scottsdale, AZ office.
The lateral brow lift (a.k.a. temporal brow lift) targets the outer third of the eyebrow. It changes the shape of the brow to give a more youthful and attractive look. The incision is made within the temporal hairline and will be hidden by the hair. Dr. Mata uses different tightening techniques to accomplish the lift you want.
Candidates for this procedure are patients who need low to moderate lift. The lateral brow lift is performed in our Scottsdale, AZ surgical office.
The incision is made on the top part of the forehead right at the hairline. The incision is less extensive and smaller than a coronal lift. The goal of this procedure is to treat the brows and forehead skin by raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow.
If you don't have a strong hairline or have thinning hair, this treatment might not be recommended.
The use of endoscopes gives way to less invasive treatments. During an endoscopy procedure, several small incisions, no longer than an inch, are made close to the hairline. A tiny camera at the end of a thin tube is inserted to allow the surgeon to operate via a monitor. Other tubes are inserted that perform the necessary surgical steps to correct the cosmetic problem.
Sutures are placed underneath the skin to help lessen the scars. The healing from this technique is quicker compared to the classic brow lifts. This procedure requires specific equipment, so going to the hospital will be necessary.
An incision that hides the scar within the hair area is the coronal brow lift — the most extensive of the techniques, suited to patients with significant forehead skin laxity who can hide a longer scar within the hairline.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.

Five: Eyebrow Incision (along upper brow hairline), Lateral/Temporal Brow Lift (outer third), Skin/Forehead Incision (at hairline), Endoscopic (small camera-assisted incisions), and Coronal (scar hidden in hair).
The Eyebrow Incision technique is great for male patients — they typically have more hair, so the scar is easily concealed.
Endoscopic brow lift. The healing from this technique is quicker compared to the classic brow lifts because the incisions are small and camera-assisted.
The Eyebrow technique is done in our Scottsdale, AZ office. The Lateral is performed in our Scottsdale, AZ surgical office. The Endoscopic procedure requires specific equipment, so going to the hospital is necessary.
The technique varies depending on the severity of skin laxity, your skin condition, and your hairline location. Dr. Mata recommends the right technique at consultation.
The Eyebrow Incision technique does not resolve issues of wrinkles on the upper forehead — other techniques (such as Coronal or Endoscopic) address the forehead more broadly.
Consultations with Dr. Mata are private, unhurried, and typically last 45 to 60 minutes. Your first conversation sets the foundation for everything that follows.
