How Painful is an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

J
jenarosaJun 26, 2008

What is the pain associated with an endoscopic brow lift? I had a full face lift 7 months ago and I really wish I would have gotten the brow lift as well but I was afraid of doing everything at once, opting to wait and do them seperately. Is is very painful or manageble pain? How long does the discomfort last? I hear the results are immediate... That should help with some of the pain. When I had my facelift, I could jump for joy I was so elated.

It appears that the majority of your aging upper eyelids is due to eyebrow ptosis. A browlift is going to make the most difference. You have medial brow ptosis and a great hairline so I would recommend a subcutaneous browlift that can be done in the office with light sedation anesthesia. This...

It is difficult to evaluate your hairline, forehead and brows because it appears you’re holding your browse up in all of these photos. If this indeed is the case, I would need to see new photos with your brows relaxed. You will get the most feminization from a rhinoplasty to reverse the aging n...

A temporal lift can give a subtle “snatched” effect by lifting the outer brow, but it doesn’t actually change forehead length. Temporal lifts are best for patients who want a mild lateral brow/temple lift, but they don’t lower or shorten the forehead. If forehead length is the main issue, ...
