1 What Is It & Who Is It For?
An endoscopic brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that repositions the soft tissues of your forehead and brows to create a smoother, more youthful upper face. Unlike a traditional open brow lift that requires a long incision across the top of your head, the endoscopic approach uses a thin camera inserted through 3-5 tiny incisions (each less than 1cm) hidden within your hairline.
It is designed for healthy adults aged 35-65 who have:
- Drooping brows that sit lower than the natural eye socket bone, making you look tired or angry
- Horizontal forehead lines that deepen with expression
- Frown lines (the "11 lines") between your eyebrows
- Good skin elasticity and realistic expectations
Many patients combine a brow lift with eyelid surgery, midface lift, or filler for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
2 How the Procedure Works
The procedure takes 1.5-2 hours, performed under light IV sedation or general anesthesia.
The surgeon's steps:
- 3-5 tiny incisions completely hidden behind your hairline
- Endoscope camera lets the surgeon work with high precision, no long scars
- We release the muscles that cause frown lines — not just pull the skin
- Lifted into a natural position with dissolvable sutures, no hardware left in your head
3 Recovery & Results
Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days. Here's what to expect:
- Days 1-3: Mild swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes. Rest, keep your head elevated, and take pain medication as needed.
- Days 4-7: Swelling starts to fade. Bruising changes color from purple to yellow. Sutures are usually removed at about day 7.
- Weeks 2-3: Most bruising is gone. You can return to work and light activities.
- 3-6 months: Final results settle in. The forehead looks natural and relaxed, not pulled.
Results last 7-10 years. People will say you look "well-rested," not "done."
