They can't dictate what procedure is best

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Traditional Brow Lift Insurance coverage

I want to have a Traditional Brow Lift. I want it in order to be able to see better. My insurance will cover this. My question is. Can the insurance make the decision on what type lift is performed? If I hold a ruler in front of forehead, mark lines on forehead while drooped, then raise brows I end up with all most one inch difference. I am also considering a Face lift at the same time.

If you have significant brow ptosis as it sounds like you have, I would not recommend doing an endoscopic anyways. I always favor the endoscopic approach as I feel it is a nice approach. But if you have significant ptosis then an open approach would be the better option.

Hope that helps guide you somewhat.
