Plastic surgery #: what is the difference between a brow lift and a forehead lift? seem to be used interchangably but are technically different?

They are the same: Totally interchangeable terms. No difference.

Almost same: The two terms are essentially interchangeable except that a brow lift can be done via an approach from the upper eyelid or directly above the brow. This would technically only lift the brow and not the forehead.

Forehead/brow lifts: There are many different types: 1) transblepharoplasty 2) suture suspension 3) direct brow lift 4) mid forehead excision 5) temporal brow lift 6) pretrichal lift 7) endoscopic 8) coronal and these can be performed subcutaneous, subgaleal, or subperiosteal through limited or extensive incisions and this list is by no means, exhaustive.

Same: These two procedures are the same just vernacular.

Same: They are really the same procedure for example endoscopic brow lift involves lifting the entire forehead. Although it may be possible to elevate the laterehead.

Brow lift: They are the same but one can perform a limited brow lift to raise the eye brows without working on the glabellar or forehead wrinkles.

No: Both terms refer to the same surgery . Yet, there are multiple techniques, including endoscopic. Direct, and coronal. Your surgeon can help one decide what is best for them!
