You look great. How was your recovery? Did you loose any hair at the incision sites? I am scheduled for this and nervous about the recovery
Did you ever get your temporal lift done? I am considering it and was curious how yours went!
I had an endoscopic brow lift and I am very unhappy with it. Raised hairline, lumpy incisions, lost hair at incision sight. Made my eyes look hollow and very painful . Horrible

I am 44 years old. I got a lateral brow lift perfumed by Dr. Z on 07-07. Dr. Z is an extremely talented and skilled surgeon. He gave me exactly the results I was looking for: natural improvement - same me but looking more awake and refreshed. Everything was explained thoroughly before surgery and there were no surprises.

post pictures please!!
Hi- is this the same as endoscopic lift? Where are the incisions? Are they in the hairline (scalp)? And if so have you experienced any hair loss or nerve pain?
No I don't think they are the same. My understanding is that my procedure (temporal brow lift) addresses the outer portion of the brow area. Endoscopic lift is also called "forehead lift", it offers more dramatic improvement, but the recovery time is longer. My incisions were hidden about 2 inches from my side hairline. My recovery was pretty easy: I rested for the rest of the day on my surgery day, went back to work (WFH of course) the next day, and was able to cover bruises with light makeup without anyone noticing anything. I did notice hair loss after the surgery.
thank you! does the hair loss bother you? and did the surgeon say it would grow back? T
No i didn't ask Dr Z yet because I am sure all surgeons will say "don't worry give it time to grow back." And then it's still up to me if I want to let it bother me. I am not that concerned because the incisions are not too big which can be easily covered by hair. I am having my 3 month check up soon and I will let dr Z exam my incisions. Hope it helps!
Haha! So true. Surgeons are pros at gaslighting. Do you mind posting pics of the scar/incisions? Also, how difficult was recovery? Would 1 week off work be enough?
No. They are not the same. I had an endoscopic brow lift last year and I wouldn’t do it again, knowing and living through it.
I had an endoscopic temporal brow lift. It was the worst procedure. Hair loss, raised hairline, hair loss, some not growing back and extremely dry skin on my forehead. I absolutely hate everything about it.
I can assure you based on past experiences that hair grows back but wait one year. 3 months is nothing. Hair needs time. Healing needs time. It will grow back.
Who is Dr.Z???
DR ZATEZALO in Maryland.
