Endoscopic Browlift Versus Hairline Browlift?

There are many methods for performing a browlift or forehead lift including an endoscopic browlift (through tiny incisions with the assistance of telescopes) , bicoronal forehead lift (extensive incision from ear to ear across the top of the head) and a tricophytic or hairline browlift. (hidden along the hairline. Each of these techniques achieves a similar result through the brow and the forehead in terms of smoothing of lines and gentle elevation of the brows.

The key difference is in how they affect your hairline. The Bicoronal (ear to ear) browlift elevates or pulls your hairline back, raising the frontal hairline by up to one inch. The Endoscopic lift has minimal effect of the position of the hairline. The tricophytic or hairline browlift can be used to adjust the hairline, usually lowering it to address a receding hairline or widow's peaks in the temporal hairline.
 

I always caution my patients that they continue to age and that no procedure is permanent, however, if performed by a board certified, facial plastic surgeon, your results should be very long lasting.

Best of luck!

Both the endoscopic and the hairline browlifts are excellent procedures.  If you have a large forehead then a hairline lift may be best for you since it will help reduce the space between your hairline and your eyebrows.  If you have an average sized forehead, then the endoscopic lift may be a better chose.  As with any surgery, the procedure will not prevent you from aging, but it will put you back several years.  Good luck with your procedure.
