Will endoscopic lift noticeably raise hairline?

Question

Mine is already high and I cannot get a hairline brow lift because it is not offered close enough to my town. My surgeon said it will not

Hello missyamind endoscopic brow lifts, which make use of an endoscope: a narrow, hollow scope with a fiber-optic light source and a camera. Endoscopic brow lifts involve several short incisions behind the hair line.

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. An endoscopic procedure uses small incisions in the hairline and then special surgical elements to make the cosmetic corrections. Incisions are made so small in the hairline that the completed scars will not be visible. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Endoscopic browlift does not elevate the hairline much, but it does make a small difference.  If you are trying to lower your hairline along with the lift then a pretrichial lift is necessary.  If you are happy with where your hairline is then either technique is acceptable.

Hayley Brown, MD, FACS · Answer

All of my brow lift procedures are done endoscopically, even in patients with an already high hairline. Right after the procedure you may feel things seem a little tight and high, but because no skin is removed, the relative hairline position remains fairly stable.

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

An endoscopic browlift will elevate the hairline, but not a lot - maybe 5mm.  At first it will appear pretty high from the swelling, but as this resolves the forehead will settle.  It is actually hard to overelevate the brow with this surgery.  If you have a high forehead, you should try to get a lift with the incision at the front of the hairline to lower the hairline.
