- When open techniques are used, the incisions are usually made behind the hairline. For patients with high foreheads, the incisions can be placed in front of the hairline.
- The forehead skin is lifted and repositioned. The muscles that cause frown lines are weakened.
- Specific attention is paid to the natural feminine position of the eyebrow, without the surprise look.
