Did my endoscopic brow lift fail? (Photo)

Question

I’m a 31 yo female had an endoscopic brow lift about 6 months ago. I don’t see any difference between before and after and my forehead is still loose! Right after the surgery they looked a little higher but by the 3 week mark they went back to their original position. My surgeon said it’s possible that the endotines came loose or disengaged and offered to drill tunnels next time to fixate them. Is that a good technique? Should I try a different surgeon or procedure?

If your forehead has returned to its original position relatively quickly after the surgery, it's possible that the endotines used in your procedure may not have provided sufficient long-term fixation. Drilling tunnels, also known as Endotine Revise technique, is a method that some surgeons use to provide more secure fixation by creating tunnels in the bone for the endotines. This can help ensure that the brow position is maintained over time.

However, it's important to discuss the pros and cons of the Endotine Revise technique with your surgeon. They will have the best understanding of your specific case and can evaluate whether it's an appropriate solution for you.

If you're not satisfied with the results of your initial surgery or have concerns about the proposed technique, seeking a second opinion from another experienced and reputable surgeon is a reasonable option. They can assess your situation and provide you with an alternative perspective or recommend a different procedure if necessary.

Based on your before and after photos, you have symmetric, nicely arched and properly positioned brows. I personally do not see the need for further lift? However, without in person discussion about your goals, it would be difficult to define success of this surgery. Hope this answers some of your questions?
