Forehead plastic surgery & augmentation with endobrow

Houtan Chaboki, MD answers: Forehead augmentation after Endoscopic Browlift?

After an endoscopic browlift is performed, is it still possible to get a forehead augmentation using implants (silicone, bone cement, etc)? With the coronal forehead lift, I know that while the forehead is exposed, you can insert an implant, but how would this work with an endobrow?

Yhl4,

Placing material such silicone, implants, bone cement, or titanium into the forehead may be inserted through the small endoscopic brow incisions. Although, it depends on how large the intended implant is.

Forehead augmentation or cranioplasty normally requires more exposure, which is provided via a coronal incision. Patients who have had extensive head trauma, neurosurgery, congenital abnormalities, or cancer surgery may require reconstructive cranioplasty. None of these patients would benefit from aesthetic endoscopic brow lift, usually.

Typical cosmetic brow lift surgery does not need any fillers. Endoscopic brow lift does not augment the forehead, rather this cosmetic surgery lifts and repositions the eyebrow into a more youthful position.
