How long does endoscopic brow lift last? Thanks

The short answer to your question is that an endoscopic brow lift should last for years (not months).  There are many factors that influence the longevity of the procedure including the technique that was used, your specific anatomy, and the manner that you age and heal after the surgery.  Today, many surgeons will use Botox around the time of surgery to prevent the brows from dropping during the early healing stages. 

The answer is it depends on the patient but any kind of browlift should last 10 years and sometimes longer. Age and general state of health obviously matter. Each surgeon has a preferred technique but overall patient satisfaction is similar despite which technique is utilized. Frequently a blepharoplasty is simultaneously performed so you need an evaluation in person.

This is an excellent question.  The endoscopic browlift can last 10-15 years.  The face will continue to age, but the surgery is really very long lasting when done correctly.  So it is very important to see a surgeon who has a lot of experience doing these.  Also, the result will last even longer if the depressor muscles of the brow are weakened with botox every 4-6 months.

Endoscopic brow lift and how long do they last?  Most surgeons have abandoned the endoscopic forehead lift because the lift  does not give as good a result as the Irregular Trichophytic brow lift.  The endoscopic brow lift also raises the hairline which most women do not wish. See a very experienced surgeon for the best results and look at the incisions and scars the surgeon produces.

Dear mandylumThe endoscopic brow lift is an excellent procedure and has long lasting results. At the same time, you face and forehead continue to age. In a standard lift, the improvement should be noticeable for 8-10 years. The results in the attached link are near 8 years after endoscopic brow lift surgery. The patient does get botox and that does continue to support the results from the endoscopic brow lift.

It is difficult to give a straight answer to any question regarding how long the results of a procedure will “last,” because the reality is that the answer can greatly vary from patient to patient. The results you will receive from a brow lift have the potential to last an average of 10 years, but this number can be affected by upkeep, exposure to the sun, environmental conditions, and personal factors such as your skin’s natural elasticity. If you feel that your results are starting to fade and that you may benefit from an additional brow lift to maintain your appearance after this time, it is very reasonable for you to consider a second brow lift to refresh your results. A consultation with a facial plastic surgeon would be the best next step.

Thank you for your question. It varies depending on the patient. I have had patients where it has lasted over 15 years. Lengths do vary and part of it is based on genetic make up of the patients. Patients overall are happy wwith their results.

 There are many variables to determine how long a browlift will last. In most cases they last a lifetime if they're properly performed. The texture of the skin and the strength of the elevator and the depressor muscles of the  forehead will determine the length of how long it will last. A coronal approach more accurately can deal with asymmetrical eyebrows,  adjust the hairline upwards or downwards, soften the corrugator, frontalis, and procerus muscles of the forehead, and insert fascia grafts underneath the corrugator lines between the eyebrows when there is dermal atrophy present from scowling. For many examples, please see the video and the  link below

There is a great deal of variability because of doctors technique and patients muscle strength and anatomy.  I haven't seen any last less than 3 years no matter how they were done and some last a lot longer when managed with Botox or Dysport for upkeep 

Hello Mandylum,That is a great question.  There are many technical aspects that go into an endoscopic brow lift.  All of them involve some form of trying to keep the brow elevated.  This may be stitches, an absorbable implant, tissue glue or a combination of them.  The goal with these is to keep the brow elevated in its new position while the body heals and the brow assumes its new position.  Assuming this is done successfully (which it usually is), the results are permanent.  What I mean by that is your brow will always be in a better position than if nothing had been done.  But the moment the surgery is over, gravity and age will continue and the brow will slowly drop with time, more commonly on the outside of the eyebrows than near the middle.  How fast this occurs depends on how expressive you are (there is a muscle that pulls down the eyebrow on the outside so more expression pulls it faster), how much sun exposure you get, how you heal, and the quality of your skin.  Not everyone requires a touch up procedure but with a brow lift it is more common.  For some this can occur within a year but more commonly it is 5-10 years down the road before most people consider a tuck up procedure.I would recommend you discuss this with your surgeon as he or she will be able to provide more specifics based on his or her experience with previous patients.  I hope this helps and good luck.
