Endoscopic Brow Lift for Changing Eyebrow Shape?

Question

Is endoscopic Brow lift going to be effective if I just want to lift my eyebrows? I don't really have any sagging skin in my forehead but i would like to change the  shape of my eyebrows. I want them to have more arch with the ends lifted up.

Consult with a plastic surgeon as your exam is critical to determining which procedure is best for you. From you description of what you desire (which by the way is similar to the majority of my patients) a short scar brow lift (also called a temple lift) is probably most effective in lifting the lateral part of your brow.

	The incisions are hidden behind your hairline. Although an endoscopic procedure will also lift the brow, I have found that it is not as effective in elevating the "tail" of the brow&mdash;what you called the "end". One of the reasons may be that the further away you are the less effect there will be as a general rule.

Browlifts are capable of achieving several positive aesthetic changes to the upper third of the face- so in reality, they can be called upper third facelift, or brow sculpting, depending on what is accomplished. In addition, there are several different browlift procedures, with the endoscopic procedure especially indicated for opening up and elevating the entire eyebrows, with some ability to change the appearance of the arch. In general, the lateral hairline minibrowlift procedure is the most effective way to actually sculpt the eyebrows as you describe. This is a rather small procedure that takes 45 minutes to perform.

Endoscopic browlifts are great for certain patients, and it sounds as though you're the perfect candidate.  These types of browlifts don't remove a lot of skin, but instead they lift the brows to a higher position.  The incisions are placed in the scalp and are well hidden.  If you do have excess skin, then a limited incision temporal browlift may be better or even a coronal browlift for excessive skin.  Endoscopic browlifts can be done as an outpatient and the recovery is not too bad.  Good luck!

Yes, you can use this to achieve a change in eyebrow shape. However, it is difficult to predict the longterm changes that will occur with an endoscopic eyebrow lift.

David Finkle, MD · Answer

Any brow lift procedure should be able to elevate the eyebrows to a more aesthetic position on your forehead.  That is the nature of the operation.
