Endoscopic Brow Lift or Forehead Lift
The Brow Lift or Forehead Lift repositions the eyebrows
and smoothes the forehead to address one of the very first signs
of aging, lengthening of the forehead and drooping of the eyebrows.
The result is a more youthful and rested appearance to the forehead
and upper eyelids and a softening of lines in the forehead and between
the eyes.

Age:
A Forehead Lift can be performed as early as the 30s, and well into
the 70s.
Surgical Technique:
The Brow Lift can be approached through several different incisions
depending on the individual’s anatomy, hairline, and preferences.
By far the most common approach is the Endoscopic
Surgery using a tiny camera through very small incisions in
the scalp. Other possible incisions are just above the eyebrows,
within a horizontal forehead crease, or along the hairline. The
coronal browlift incision from ear to ear is rarely the preferred
method anymore due to hair loss, sensory loss, and greater recovery
time. Frequently, the muscles that cause frowning are carefully
weakened during surgery to create a pleasant, relaxed appearance.
This creates the same effect as Botox
injections but unlike Botox which is temporary, the effects of surgically
weakening the muscles are permanent.
Surgical Time and Recovery:
Brow Lift Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis with local
anesthesia and oral or IV sedation, and takes about an hour. Discomfort
is minimal to moderate. Stitches or skin clips are removed in 7
to 10 days. Most patients return to work in one to two weeks.
Related Procedures:
Brow Lift can be combined with blepharoplasty,
facelift, midface
lift, necklift, fat
transfer, facial implants
and chemical peels or
laser resurfacing.
