Does Endoscopic Brow Lift Last As Long As Full Coronal Brow Lift?

J
jenny22Dec 31, 2009

I have consulted with several plastic surgeons regarding a brow lift. All recommend an endoscopic approach except one, who recommended a full coronal brow lift. He claims the endoscopic brow lift does not hold up in the long run due to failure of the fixation devices. Is this true? Any comments or recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Surgical brow lifts are more significant and can also be used to improve the effects of Botox in other areas of the upper face. Both...

If your brows are low at 20, you may be a candidate for brow lift surgery. We tend to consider a brow lift to be a procedure to correct changes from aging, but some people have inherited a heavy brow look which is apparent even at a young age. If this is the case, a brow lift may open up your...

It is difficult to answer this question without seeing your photos.  Your surgeon may be right in suggesting a coronal lift if you have a low hairline (short forehead) and very droopy brows.  Otherwise go for Botox or an endoscopic brow lift.
