What is an Endoscopic Forehead Lift?
Endoscopic Forehead Lift A forehead lift, also called a “brow lift”, restores a more youthful, revitalized appearance to the area above the eyes. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the lines and wrinkles that can make you appear tired, sad or angry. In a forehead lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the wrinkles or drooping are removed or repositioned in order to smooth the forehead, elevate the eyebrows and diminish frown lines. The forehead lift is performed through small incisions in the scalp (within the hair). The actual surgery is accomplished with the use of an endoscope (lighted video camera) and special instruments through these small incisions. As previously mentioned the muscles that cause wrinkling between the eyes can be removed during this procedure. The forehead is then lifted to the appropriate level and secured in place with either a small screw that is removed after two weeks or an internal tine that eventually absorbs. Email Dr.
