The endoscopic forehead and brow lift is a modern, minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure which allows to lift and shape the eyebrows and rejuvenate the upper part of the face. The procedure, due to the use of endoscopic instruments, is distinguished primarily by its minimal interference with facial structures, shorter recovery period and distinct yet natural rejuvenating effects especially when performed in combination with upper eyelid surgery.
What is an endoscopic brow and forehead lift??
The endoscopic forehead and brow lift procedure is performed by lifting the tissues of the upper part of the face using highly specialised instruments under videoscopic guidance, introduced through small incisions located behind the hairline. The use of the endoscope enables the surgeon to perform a safe brow lift and reduce horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, thus minimising the risk of a scar tissue build-up and other adverse effects.
With this procedure, the following results can be achieved:
• Lifting drooping eyebrows that give the face a sad, tired look
• Reducing wrinkles on the forehead
• Improving the contour of the upper part of the face, giving a younger and more relaxed look
Advantages of endoscopic forehead and brow lift
• Minimal invasiveness – the procedure itself requires only small incisions, making scars almost invisible.
• Short recovery time – compared to traditional facelift procedures, the healing period after endoscopic surgery is reduced which allows patients to return to their daily activities sooner.
• Minimal risk of complications – due to its minimal invasiveness, the risk of complications is significantly reduced.
Who is this procedure designed for?
The endoscopic forehead and brow lift is the perfect solution for people who are struggling with:
• Drooping eyebrows, giving the face a tired or distressed look
• Deep wrinkles and lines on the forehead
• Early signs of ageing in the eye and forehead area
As such, the procedure is appropriate for both men and women aged 25-60 who would like to visibly rejuvenate their face, rather than having to undergo more invasive surgery.
Course of the procedure and recovery
Endoscopic forehead and brow lift surgery generally takes between 2 – 3 hours and is performed under local anaesthesia with analgosedation or general anaesthesia, according to the patient’s preference. After the procedure, the patient can return home the same day.
The recovery period is short – most patients return to their daily activities after about 10-14 days. Swelling and minor bruising fade within a few days and the effects of the facelift become fully visible after a few weeks.
