What is an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

Hello a endobrow lift is just a different technique used to perform a browlift. The other is the open or traditional browlift which can be done different ways. A endoscope is an instrument, like a telescope that allows surgeons to perform surgery through smaller incisions that are generally well hidden. The healing time and scarring is usually less and recovery shorter. Results are variable with either technique and dependent on surgeon skill and expectations of the patient. Thank you.  

An endoscopic brow lift has become the surgery of choice over the past decade for people wanting a robust lift with less scarring than older types of brow lift surgery. The coronal brow lift is what I suspect you are referring to in terms of a “traditional” brow lift. Coronal brow lift surgery is the most invasive, requiring an incision across the scalp from ear to ear and a strip of tissue to be removed. In contrast, an endoscopic brow lift requires only a few incisions placed in the hairline, from which the forehead skin and eyebrows are elevated. I also perform a “one centimeter incision brow lift” at my practice for people who need only a small, subtle lift. As inferred from the name, this type of surgery requires only a one-centimeter incision placed in the upper eyebrow hairs, which is closed carefully so that the scar is as minimal as possible. Which type of brow lift is best for you will depend on your individual anatomy, extent of eyebrow drooping, and recovery tolerance. I hope this helps.

An endoscopic brow lift is a type of forehead lift. The major difference from other types of forehead lifts is the location of the incisions. An endoscopic brow lift utilizes several small incisions placed behind the hairline as opposed to the one, much longer incision that is used in more traditional brow lift surgery.
