When an Endoscopic Forehead Lift Best

There are many methods for performing a browlift or forehead lift including an endoscopic browlift (through tiny incisions with the assistance of telescopes) , bicoronal forehead lift (extensive incision from ear to ear across the top of the head) and a tricophytic or hairline browlift. (hidden along the hairline. Each of these techniques achieves a similar result through the brow and the forehead in terms of smoothing of lines and gentle elevation of the brows. The key difference is in... more

What is a Endoscopic Brow Lift and When Is It the Best Choice?

This procedure is an specialized procedure that require certain experience in order to achieve an excellent result.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

In my practice I do most of my Brow Lifts using the endoscopic technique. The procedure is done with a small scope and three small incisions in the hairline. With this technique I elevate not only the brow but also the mid face. This makes it ideal for the patient that first starts seeing signs of aging in the upper and mid face. No skin is removed or scalp so there is minimal elevation of the hairline and it gives you a natural and rejuvenated look with no signs of surgery. This is one of... more

Endoscopic Brow Lift - one of several options

The endoscopic brow lift has been around for more than 15 years and is a great operation for the right patient.  About 4 or 5 small incisions (less than an inch) behind the hairline and specialized instruments are used to release the attachments of the brow and forehead.  The forehead is then elevated and supported using sutures and / or absorbable implants. Features that make someone a good candidate for endo brow:    mild to moderate brow... more

The Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Browlift

 The endoscopic brow lift is a wonderful procedure for patients that are good candidates. The endoscopic brow lift that I perform involves making three 1 inch incisions behind the hairline and using two absorbable fixation implants called  endotine. The other alternative for a brow lift I reserve for patients with a high hairline and that technique requires a coronal incision. This incision is made along the edge of the hairline and the... more

Endoscopic browlift and other types of browlifts

There are two approaches for lifting the eyebrows. There is the endoscopic approach, which usually involves five 1½-inch incisions placed vertically in the scalp or one longer incision approximately 12-15 cm in length, which is called the coronal approach. Concerns that need to be addressed by the browlift are the eyebrow level, the hairline level, and the dynamic ability of the corrugator muscles, frontalis muscles, and procerus muscles. These muscles can all be surgically... more

Endoscopic Brow Lift

In an endoscopic brow lift several small incisions (about 2.0 cm in length) are made in the hair-bearing scalp, the endoscpe is inserted, the forehead is mobilized, and the brows and forehead are lifted. With this procedure no skin is removed but simply shifted toward the back of the head. Because the hairline is elevated more than with other procedures, this technique is best in patients with a low hairline.

Brow Lift Plastic Surgery Options - Endoscopic vs. Open

Hi bern in Australia, Unlike traditional brow lift surgery that involves an incision across the entire forehead, the endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive method of lifting the eyebrows. Plastic surgeons perform minimally invasive plastic surgery through very small incisions hidden in the hair & scalp to recreate a youthful appearance. Brow lift surgery lifts and repositions sagging tissue that occurs with natural aging and sun damage. Endoscopic brow lifts, also... more

Endoscopic brow lift procedure

The endoscopic browlift (or forehead lift) is a procedure designed to elevate the brow relative to the eyelids. In order to get to the muscles which need lifting, several small (about 1 inch) incisions are made in the scalp. An endoscope is introduced through one of the small incisions and the operating instrument through the other. The brow muscles are surgically altered. The skin is closed after fixing it in position. With the browlift procedure, there is no long scar, no cutting... more

Endoscopic brow lift repositions the eyebrows through small incisions

Traditional brow lift surgery involved a large incision running from ear to ear over the top of the head.  The development of small fiberoptic cameras now allows us to make small incisions in the scalp and use the cameras to see exactly where we are working.  The endoscopic brow lift we can do with this technology is a great, elegant way to raise the eyebrows with minimal scars.  This procedure has just about replaced traditional brow lift in my practice and it benefits... more

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The endoscopic brow lift has replaced the coronal lift. The coronal lift used a long hairline incision and direct vision. The endoscopic lift uses small incisions with surgery done looking at the tissues with a small scope. It has none of the hair loss, scalp numbness or delayed healing of the coronal lift. Also, it, in my opinion, is safer than all the other methods that are done totally or partially blind, as fast, and achieves superior results. It can be modified for whatever problem... more

Endoscopic browlift explained

An endoscopic browlift is a procedure performed with small incisions in the hairline, small instruments and a "scope" to perform the procedure. This procedure is applicable to most patients. Other types of browlifts involve larger incisions and removal or forehead skin or scalp tissue. Dr. Stephen Weber Portland Facial Plastic Surgeon
