What Is Endoscopic Brow Lift?
The endoscopic brow lift is the most popular approach for brow lifting today. Here is what makes it special.
An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a tiny camera (endoscope) and small incisions to lift the brows and forehead tissues. It offers excellent results with less recovery than traditional methods.
How it is performed:
- Incisions: 3β5 small incisions (1β2 cm each) are made behind the hairline
- Endoscope: A tiny camera is inserted through one incision to visualize the underlying tissues
- Lifting: Special instruments separate the forehead tissues from the bone
- Muscle release: The muscles causing frown lines are partially released
- Fixation: The lifted tissues are secured in their new position using permanent sutures or small absorbable screws
- Closure: The small incisions are closed
- Advantages:
- Small, hidden incisions behind the hairline
- Less scarring than traditional coronal brow lift
- Less swelling and numbness
- Faster recovery (10β14 days)
- Very natural-looking results
- Who is a good candidate:
- Patients with mild to moderate brow descent
- Those who want minimal scarring
- Patients with good skin elasticity
- Non-smokers
- Swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes for 1β2 weeks
- Return to work: 7β14 days
- Strenuous activity: 3β4 weeks
- Final result visible at 2β3 months
