Endoscopic Brow Lift
The Specifics
What is an endoscopic brow lift?
An endoscopic brow lift is a surgical forehead lift procedure producing permanent enhancements to the forehead, brow, and eyes. An endoscopic brow lift technique utilizes multiple small incisions a few millimeters behind the hairline, and a lighted camera to make alterations to excess skin and underlying muscle for a less invasive procedure. This technique does not allow the plastic surgeon as much visualization as a technique like the Coronal Brow Lift, however, there is less chance of scarring and shorter recovery times.
What cosmetic concerns does an endoscopic brow lift procedure treat?
Who is the ideal candidate for an Endoscopic Brow Lift procedure?
The ideal candidate for an endoscopic brow lift has significant furrows or frown lines in the forehead, a low or heavy brow, or furrow lines above the nose. An endoscopic brow lift is not recommended for women with high hairlines, balding men, or those with a history of male pattern baldness.
What is the average recovery associated with an endoscopic brow lift procedure?
Due to the less invasive nature of the endoscopic technique, initial wound healing from an endoscopic brow lift takes about seven to ten days. Bruising, pain, and swelling typically improves significantly in this time frame as well. Bandages, cool compresses, and elevation of the head can help to reduce swelling. Sutures or staples will be removed after one week. While recovery time varies among individuals, most patients feel comfortable in public after two weeks and makeup can be worn after one week.

What are the potential side effects of an endoscopic brow lift procedure?
Possible side effects from an endoscopic brow lift include scarring, swelling, hair loss, bleeding, pain, changes in sensation (such as numbness, hyperesthesia, or permanent scalp paresthesias), infection at the incision sites, and elevation of the frontal hairline.
What can someone expect from the results of an endoscopic brow lift procedure?
An endoscopic brow lift creates immediately noticeable and permanent enhancements to the facial aesthetic. An endoscopic brow lift can achieve approximately two to four millimeters of brow elevation. An endoscopic brow lift rejuvenates the eye, brow, and forehead area by toning, tightening, and smoothing forehead skin. Correcting a heavy or sagging brow, creates a more youthful contour of the upper third of the face.
What is the average cost of an endoscopic brow lift procedure?
An endoscopic brow lift procedure can cost anywhere from $3,700 to $3,800. The actual cost of an endoscopic brow lift is dependent upon location, board certified plastic surgeon, and length and involvement of the plastic surgery. Learn more in our complete guide to brow lift cost.

The Takeaway
