Thank you for the important question. You have hit the nail on the head regarding the limitations of the endoscopic browlift. This is a very nice procedure, but the results are variable and unfortunately can be somewhat short-lived. This is because the procedure relies on suspending the tissue rather than removing excess. In my practice, I have prefer using an open approach to browlfting via a tricophytic incision (hairline). When this is performed meticulously, the hair grows right back through the incision, leaving no evidence of the procedure. And the major advantage is that this approach allows for removal of extra skin -- making the results much longer lasting. Best of luck moving forward!

Hello ozzThe specific procedure your brow lift entails will depend on your needs. Factors such as whether entire brow or only the outer brow is to be raised, repositioning of the hairline, and the patient’s individual facial contours will determine the placement and extent of the incisions.

Daniel J. Givens, MD · Answer

The choice of browlift technique is individualized to each patient's anatomical situation.  In some cases, a temporal brow lift can be performed with relatively short incisions along the lateral frontal hairline.  More often, it is necessary to release the entire brow to stabilize it in a more refreshed and youthful position.  This can be performed through a hairline incision, or a series of endoscopic incisions.  In patients with a high hairline, I prefer a hairline incision because it actually shortens the forehead and lowers the hairline.  Best Wishes.

There are many techniques, each with pros and cons. I have published on a minimally invasive technique that can be done under local anesthesia. See following webiste (which includes the publication) and surgical video below.

Thank you for your question. The endoscopic brow lift procedure is preferred, when possible, because it has a quicker recovery time and is generally less invasive. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,
