Endoscopic Brow Lift - Beyond Thrilled With Results! - Boston, MA

Thank you so much! By hair loss do you mean on my head where the incisions are? No, there are two minor, minor incision marks that I can't even notice anymore. They're maybe about 1.5 inches long (if that).

Yes I meant on your head. That's awesome because I read a number of reviews where patients experienced hair loss where the incisions were. Thanks

Thanks for clarifying. Definitely no hair loss at all!

Thanks so much! :)

Yes, still loving the result! I don't really even remember being not able to move the muscles; the area was just a little tight for a month or two.

Yay! Looks great. :)

Thank you Ishtar!

Thank you so much! No - I definitely haven't noticed any sort of hair loss at all. Everything looks exactly the same!

yes, my hairline now starts above the incision, and looks rediculous

Honestly - I haven't experienced a single bad side effect. Definitely no hair loss, no change in my hair line and no noticeable scarring. The incisions were made about an inch back from my hair line and my hair completely covers them. I have long hair and no matter how I wear it - up or down- you can't notice a thing. Not one person has asked if I had surgery or made a comment about me looking stretched or pulled. A good friend that I see all the time (who I had not mentioned the surgery to) told me I look refreshed and asked if I recently had a facial because my skin looked good! She is the type of person who scrutinizes everyone and everything, so if she didn't notice anything off, then I don't think anyone will! I'm 4 weeks post surgery and feel completely fine. No swelling, bruising or tightness at all.

Update! Hi Bobinhood - I was actually discussing my surgery with a friend at dinner the other night, and when I held up my before picture to my face now, she actually said my hairline appears lower now because my eyebrows sit higher up on my face. So if anything, the procedure helped in that sense.

Thank you so much! I'm very happy for you!

Terrible itching on the whole top of my head, and lately from the ears down on both cheeks. Going to a Neurologist on the 12th of this month. Oh, yes, he nicked the cartilage on my right ear, and I can just now put my finger on the part of my ear next to my cheek. VERY painful for nearly 3 months now.

Oh, yes the scar is on my forehead not up in my hairline. I have hair loss around the incision, which goes form over my left ear, across the forehead (visible) and over to the other top of my other ear. About 12" scar. He says it will "blend in" in a few months. My cousin's surgeon, Dr. Ordin of the Doctors tv show, says they haven't done this method in years.

Pamela - I'm truly sorry your experience was so horrific. Although the results of the endoscopic brow lift aren't as long lasting, it sounds like it's a much safer and far less invasive procedure. Thank you for sharing your experience so others can proceed with caution. I hope your road to recovery begins soon.

Thank you. I hope this will help people question their plastic surgeon why would this be done.

did your doctor use endotine ?

Hi Pamela - No, I've actually never had Botox (Just some fillers in my lips years ago.) Pre surgery, when my face was at rest there were no wrinkles, but when I would talk and my face was animated, I noticed forehead wrinkles would appear. However, this surgery has corrected all that. My forehead is completely smooth at rest and when I'm talking, therefore no need for Botox!

I still see lines across the forehead when relaxed and deeper when animated. He claims he cut the muscle between my eyes, however there are still lines there and I can still squint.

Thank you so much! I believe he used screws, as I didn't hear any mention of endotines during the consult.
