Endoscopic Brow LIft
ORIGINAL POST
Endoscopic Brow LIft
WORTH IT
About four years ago I had a facelift with Dr. David Rosenberg which I was extremely happy with. At that time I was not in need of a browlift as Dr. Rosenberg pointed out to me. He is very conservative and prefers very natural results which is a great match for me.
Recently, I noticed that my upper lids were beginning to have some 'hooding' and botox was much more challenging in the forehead area so I visited him for his opinion on what would be the best approach for these particular issues. Dr. Rosenberg and I both agreed that the endoscopic brow lift would be a good choice for me at this time.
My surgery was on November 2nd and it's only been 4 days since the surgery but recovery has been quite comfortable except for the normal swelling and some slight headaches. There were stitches in the top of the hairline with a 'device' called endodine and on the side incisions, there are staples.
I will update this review as the days go on. So far, so good!

I’m having a brow lift in February but she said that there will be no staples. Only stitches??!! Were you put out, and how long was the surgery? Was it in a hospital?

The surgery was around 1.5 hours (maybe a bit less). Yes put under general st the surgical facility but not. Hospital

Can I ask how much you paid for the entire surgery? I’m having a temporal brow lift. Do you know what is the difference in the results?????

Are you going to post recent updates. I’m so anxious to see how your before and after pix look. I’m having a brow lift in two weeks.

November 8th update
Swelling is going down, my stitches are a bit itchy but I'm feeling pretty good right about now. :) My next appointment is Nov. 12th for removal of stitches and staples. I notice the hooding (thank God) is gone and I am liking the results I am seeing so far.
Surely, I will be morphing along as I heal but so far the only complaint I have is that I can't style my hair.

Today's the day
Today my stitches and staples are coming out. Oh joy. I'm not great with discomfort so not my favorite day but I'm sure things will be better afterwards!
My progress visually is really good. The scalp, however is very sensitive and there are certain areas with scabbing and just plain discomfort. I 'll post some close ups photos of the scalp (although it ain't so pretty) and and update on healing.
One day at a time!

All removed today and it was pretty much painless.... Dr. Rosenberg said everything looked great so I'm a happy camper right now. Will post some pics soon.

Your results look great!! I'm 2 months out from a browlift and still feeling numbness on the top of my head, and the corners of my forehead. Such an odd feeling, but it gets better every day You're beautiful!

Thanks.:) I am also feeling the itching right now and some dry/scabby sort of areas where the incisions are and was just going to post more about that!

Your lucky you are getting the feeling back. Three and a half years ago I had an Endoscopic Brow Lift, and the top of my head is still numb. I don't expect to ever get the feeling back after all this time, along with the constant itchy scalp. I am going to try Acupuncture and hope it may help a little.

Marlene, perhaps you should try to consult a dermatologist and they may do steroid or other injections for that. I had a breast lift surgery with another doctor that left some nerve issues and my dermatologist (2 years later) resolved it completely. I really recommend that you look into this. Before I did this I was devastated and in severe discomfort.

Thank you so much for your suggestion, I will ask my Doctor about it, at this point I am willing to try anything!!

Thank you for your informative post! I am scheduled tomorrow to have brow lift and other work done on my face. I will have staples, also, and appreciate the photos you included. You look beautiful, hope my results are as good! Best to you
