How long does an endoscopic brow lift last?

Question

I'm 33 years old, I have low brows with hooded eyes because of the brows, I've had an upper blepharoplasty 7 years ago, it didn't last long and I felt that my brows dropped even more, I want to do an endoscopic brow lift, but I've heard it barely lasts 2 years, how accurate is that?? I also heard a direct brow lift doesn't last long, im so confused, what can I do ?

An Endoscopic Browlift is mostly done in Patients who have a narrow forehead. If you have a slightly large forehead it is not indicated and it is preferable to have a pretrichial browlift.Concerning Longevity it all depends on the technique and the experience of the Surgeon. I wouldn't recommend a direct browlift on a young patient such as yourself

Thank you for your question. Without seeing your photo, it's difficult to provide a definitive answer. However, if you have eyebrow drooping as you mentioned, endoscopic brow lift could be beneficial for you. This surgery is performed permanently, but like any surgery, its results may change over time due to the effects of gravity, aging, and genetic factors. However, this process is not limited to just 2 years.
The surgical procedure is not very complex. It typically takes about 1.5 hours and doesn't carry the risk of immediate eyebrow drooping, as seen in thread lift methods.
