Updated: I want to have an endoscopic brow lift but I’m afraid it will worsen my dry eyes even more?I’ve talked to doctors saying no, this surgery doesn’t cut into tear glands and there will only be a temporary problem during healing. And since no skin will be removed my eyes should close normally. However, is there a permanent risk with this procedure? Is there a permanent risk with this procedure even with a minimal lift and if eyelids can close normally after? Like is it possible to have a bad reaction to the endotine implants? I don’t know what to believe at this point doctors says different things.
