How Long is a Person Put to Sleep During an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

  Obviously, the length of time necessary for this procedure depends on the surgeon and his technique of doing the procedure.  I think local anesthesia (preferably with sedation) or general anesthesia may be used.  No, I do not think it is typical for patients to have to have this procedure more than one time BUT I do not think it is atypical either.  Depends on the patient and his/her desires.

An endoscopic brow lift is a great procedure that is relatively quick under general anesthesia.  Having the procedure performed under a local would be too uncomfortable.  The surgery takes approximately one hour if done by a highly skilled, experienced surgeon.  The procedure in most places is performed in an outpatient surgical center and you are sent home after an hour of recovery.  You will continue to age even after the procedure is done, so you may need it again after 10 years or so.  Consult your board certified facial plastic surgeon to see if you are a good candidate for this procedure.
 

Endoscopic brow lift usually takes about one hour surgical time.  However, it can easily be done under local anesthesia with sedation, therefore you are NOT put to complete sleep.  It is safer with easier recovery.
