If you are having an upper lid blepharoplasty performed then the implants can also be placed through this incision, which avoids any other incisions unless a browlift has already been planned. I feel that placement of a long...

Placement of Brow Ridge Implants
In my opinion there is little need for such implants in the age of long lasting fillers. I would test drive incremental brow augmentation with a long lasting filler before seriously considering implants. Such implants would need a long incision and stabilization with a screw to prevent rotation and displacement.

Can Brow Ridge Implants Be Done Endoscopically?
Can Brow Ridge Implants Be Done Endoscopically? Possibly, but the issue with either of those approaches would be the inability to screw and fix these implants in place to the superior orbital rim.
