Is an endoscopic brow lift suitable for males?

Question

I am a 40-year-old male. I wish to get a brow lift. I wish to get my brow lifted by around 2-3 mm from its current position to its natural position. I consulted a Surgeon who suggested me a direct brow lift. I am really concerned about the visible scar . Therefore, I am more interested in endoscopic brow lift. My doctor says endoscopic brow lift is not suitable for a male. (as males have heavy brow) What is your opinion on this?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Irregular Trichophytic Browlift without a noticeable scar. This will give you what you want if you go to a very experienced surgeon who can show you dozens of his patients with the hair pulled back.

Males are certainly a candidate for endoscopic brow lift. If your brow is heavy the longevity of the lift may be less. In my practice, I do not perform cosmetic direct brow lifts as I like to hide my incisions.

Patrick Flaharty, MD FAACS · Answer

It is true that men generally have heavier brows than women but endoscopic brow lifts work just fine in men. The keys is adequate release and good fixation. In other words good technique. For this reason it is very important that you find a surgeon very experienced with endoscopic brow lifts in men. Ask to see pre and post op photos to verify their success with this operation in male patients. Surgeons tend to recommend the procedures that they are most comfortable doing which can be very telling. The direct brow lift technique is very useful and effective for certain patients with deep forehead creases where the incisions can be hidden, but not ideal for younger patients or patients with smooth foreheads. Consulting with a surgeon highly experienced with endoscopic brow lifting techniques in males would be the best way to get more information on this topic.
