I will be getting an endoscopic brow lift soon. I have a high forehead and my hair is thinning a bit. The dr. advised the incisions will have to be below my hairline and will be visible. I am willing to deal with the scar if it heals flat, and I can cover it with makeup. Will this also push my hairline back further even if the incisions are make below my hairline?

Answer: Hairline Thank you for the question and though this should have been explained to you by your surgeon, putting the incisions in front of the hairline is also aimed to pull your hairline downward thereby the appearance of your hair loss.Dr. Corbin

Answer: Endoscopic Browlift Questions Dear MDLA27, I would suggest seeking a second opinion as the procedure you are describing does not sound like an endoscopic brow lift. With an endoscopic brow lift the incisions are placed in the hairline even on patients who have thinning hair the small incisions heal nicely. I had a male patient come in to my office last week very unhappy with a brow lift where the incisions were done below the hairline by another surgeon and personally I would never perform a procedure in that manner. See my web link below and review the photographs under endoscopic brow lifts for examples of this procedure to further educate yourself. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
