Endoscopic Brow Lift – No Visible Scars

The aging process causes the deterioration of the skin’s elasticity. One of the signs of this deterioration is forehead descent, a condition characterized by droopiness of forehead muscles due to tissue displacement. Forehead descent puts pressure on brows, resulting in their sagginess (ptosis). Fortunately, this condition is treatable, thanks to the availability of multiple cosmetic medical options. One of the options is an endoscopic brow lift, an advanced form of the brow lift procedure.

What is Endoscopic Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical treatment to compensate for the loss of soft tissue elasticity in the forehead. Using this treatment, the surgeon repositions the skin tissues and muscles under the forehead skin to reduce wrinkles and lift the brows.

The endoscopic version of the brow lift involves using a flexible tube equipped with a miniature camera and surgical instruments. This tube is inserted through small surgical incisions within the hairline. This allows the surgeon to view the underlying treatment area without making a large incision. The surgical instruments remove excess tissues, pull the saggy ones, and fixate them to the skull using tiny titanium anchors.

An Endoscopic Brow lift can be a standalone treatment or may be coupled with other procedures like eyelid surgery or a facelift for an overall rejuvenation effect.

Who is a Good Candidate for an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

The ideal candidate for an endoscopic brow lift is someone with:

• Heavy or low eyebrows
• Furrow lines above the nose
• Frown lines or furrows on the forehead area

That being said, this treatment is generally not recommended for people with high hairlines. Balding men and those with a family history of male pattern baldness are also not good candidates for this procedure.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

During the initial consultation, you will be briefed about the pre-op requirements you must fulfill before you are ready for an endoscopic brow lift. Your cosmetic surgeon may take photographs of your forehead and brows for a before/after treatment comparison.

To get ready for the procedure, you have to ensure that you:

• Lead a healthy lifestyle
• Stop smoking at least six weeks before the procedure
• Stop taking aspirin or other blood-thinning medicines
• Stop taking herbal supplements

Endoscopic Brow lift Procedure

Here is an overview of the steps involved in the endoscopic brow lift procedure.

• In the first step, the surgeon palpates and marks the incision sites within the hairline.
• Next, the surgeon administers anesthesia. Anesthetic option for this procedure may be local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the surgical requirements or patient’s preferences.
• Then, the incisions are made on the marked locations. These marks are slightly curved lines. The incisions create pockets to allow the insertion of a flexible tube equipped with a camera and tiny surgical tools.
• After that, the surgeon inserts the tube that cuts and releases a dense fibrous membrane covering the surface of the bone. This membrane is called the periosteum. Then, they use a thin string and titanium anchors to fixate the inside of the skin to the skull until a lifted eyebrow appearance is achieved. After fixating tissues at multiple locations, the surgeon closes the incisions using sutures.

Post-Treatment Instructions

Endoscopic brow lift treatment aftercare may vary from person to person. But some instructions remain the same for almost every patient. Here is a list of those guidelines.

• You will need to use a compressive forehead bandage overnight.
• Your surgeon may prescribe oral antibiotics to prevent infections or post-operative edema.
• You will have to avoid strenuous physical activities for 7-10 days.
• The doctor may recommend a follow-up visit 7-11 days after treatment.

What Are the Benefits of an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

Aside from the standard benefits of a brow lift – such as improved brows appearance, diminished forehead wrinkles, reduced skin sagginess, and enhanced facial aesthetics – an endoscopic brow lift offers the following advantages.

• Less scarring: An endoscopic brow lift involves smaller incisions within the hairline. It means that not only are the resultant scars small, but they remain well-concealed behind the hairline.
• Reduced risk of complications: Smaller incisions are less likely to develop edema, resulting in a reduced risk of complications. Small-sized incisions make this treatment less invasive than a conventional brow lift.
• Quick healing: An endoscopic brow lift implicates quicker recovery of the surgery site. Moreover, the post-operative downtime of this procedure is much less restrictive than a brow lift.

Is Endoscopic Brow Lift Safe?

According to research, an endoscopic brow lift is a safe and effective way to increase brow height and create a youthful appearance. Moreover, polydioxanone sutures used in this procedure help generate stable results.
