Endoscopic Brow Lift

Conveniently located to serve the areas of West Covina, CA

As time passes, the skin on your face loses elasticity leading to sagging skin, intense creases, and deep wrinkles. When these changes occur, frown lines develop and your brows begin to droop making you look much older than you really are.

Fortunately, by choosing an experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Daniel H. Lin M.D., there is something you can do about your aging appearance. From his state-of-the-art facility, Shine Cosmetic Surgery located in Los Angeles, California, Dr. Lin offers the most recent technological advances in medicine including the endoscopic brown lift. Endoscopic refers to the small viewing instrument that uses a camera to see beneath the tissue and this allows Dr. Lin to view images of your body’s internal structures through very small incisions instead of the normal ear-to-ear incision. With the endoscopic brow lift, Dr. Lin will make three or more tiny incisions at your hairline and use the endoscope to guide him when removing the muscles that produce your frown lines before he repositions your eyebrows at a higher level.

Technology has created many developments for less invasive procedures in all surgical specialties and the endoscope has been a key advancement supporting this trend. The endoscope is currently used in a variety of reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgical applications however the endoscopic brow lift was the first procedure to gain widespread acceptance. Although the endoscopic brow lift has become a popular procedure in the past few years, not all plastic surgeons are experienced in endoscopic brow lifts so when considering this procedure it is crucial that you choose someone with experience. Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lin is one of California’s leading plastic surgeons and commonly performs the endoscopic brow lift procedure satisfying hundreds of patients.

Also called a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, a brow lift corrects skin wrinkling and loss of tone that causes your eyebrows to sag giving you a hooded appearance. A brow lift softens the deep creases across your forehead, reduces the horizontal frown lines at the top of your nose, and improves the vertical lines between your brows. An endoscopic brow lift is the only plastic surgery procedure that can increase the distance from your lateral brow to your upper eyelashes resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance. With this procedure, the positioning of your eyebrows can be equalized dramatically softening what might appear to be a tired or angry look. Dr. Lin often combines a brow lift with the division of the glabellar muscles, which are the muscles that cause scowl or frown lines. If Dr. Lin feels using a combination of procedures would create a more aesthetically pleasing brow for you, he will discuss your options during your first visit.

Endoscopic brow lifts have several advantages including:

Smaller incisions
Less chance of infection
Fewer sensation changes
Less numbness and itching
No compromise to your hair
A more natural result
Longer lasting outcome
Brow lifts also have the additional benefit of addressing the area below your eyes

Brow lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift the tissues of a descended forehead and restore the natural arch of your eyebrows.

Typically, an endoscopic forehead lift requires the same steps as the traditional procedure with the difference being the incision. During your brow lift, the endoscope is inserted through one of the small incisions, allowing Dr. Lin to have a clear view of the muscles and tissues beneath your skin. Using another instrument inserted through a different incision, your forehead skin will be lifted and the muscles and underlying tissues are removed or re-contoured to produce a smoother appearance. Your eyebrows may also be lifted and secured into their higher position by sutures beneath your skin’s surface behind your hairline. When your lift is complete, the scalp incisions will be closed with stitches and the area will be washed accompanied by gauze and an elastic bandage. The surgery takes approximately 1-2 hours, usually under IV sedation and a local anesthetic.

Recovery time is shorter with the endoscopic technique and you should be able to resume your normal routine within one week. In approximately three weeks, almost all signs of your surgery will no longer be visible.

A brow lift can treat:

Glabellar creases or furrows
Descended brow
Droopy eyebrow
Asymmetric brow
Crow’s feet
Misshaped brow
Furrows above your nose
Furrows between your eyes
Excess tissue on your upper eyelid
Interference of vision
Forehead lines
Frown lines caused by contraction of the corrugator muscles between your eyebrows and over the bridge of your nose

Endoscopic brow lift

Aging causes the formation of lines and wrinkles on the forehead due to repetitive muscle movement. This can make a person appear older than their years.

In addition, the horizontal lines across the forehead or small vertical lines between the brows can make a person look stressed, angry, or simply unapproachable and disagreeable.

A skilled plastic surgeon who performs endoscopic brow lift cosmetic surgery can help patients achieve a smooth, fresh-looking and youthful upper face appearance.

Addressing the deep grooves or wrinkles on the forehead and repositioning the brow line to its appropriate place can easily take years off the patient’s face. An endoscopic brow lift is performed under anesthesia and is a minimally invasive procedure.

In this procedure, the surgeon places a series of tiny incisions discreetly in the hair. They then use specialized tools to release and raise the brow tissue delicately. In general, this procedure involves quicker healing and less bruising than the traditional approach.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Lin receives patients from West Covina, Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley, Chino, Rowland Heights, Baldwin Park, Whittier, Brea, Arcadia, Pasadena, Diamond Bar and surrounding areas in California for endoscopic brow lift.

Need for Endoscopic Brow Lift

In comparison to the mid and lower third of the face, the forehead is much less prone to aging as well as gravitational descent. However, at times, it is necessary to combine the forehead with eyelid surgeries or a facelift as a part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

The reasons for lifting the forehead and brow tissues include addressing the slow age-related droop (ptosis) of soft tissue. This is a natural part of facial aging and is more prominent in some people.

Brow lifts also help adjust a congenitally low and heavy brow and addresses asymmetry which may occur due to conditions such as facial palsy where the lack of muscle function results in an asymmetrical drooping of forehead soft tissue.

Forehead and Brow Lift with Endoscope

Brow and forehead cosmetic surgery rejuvenation is individualized depending on the patient’s unique features. It may include repositioning of descended tissues, lifting of the brow, modulation of the muscle function causing the creases and lines, and adjustment of skin.

Even gentle adjustments in the forehead, brow, and eye areas can bring about significant improvements. A lift of merely four to six millimeter is usually enough to open up the eyes and restore a youthful placement of the eyebrows.

Rejuvenation of the forehead typically involves lifting the outer half of the brow as the mid-section is structurally more stable and less likely to descent due to gravity.

A gentle upwards curve of the brow is aesthetically attractive. The aim is to position the outer portion (endpoint) of the brow slightly higher than the inner part (the start point) with a delicate arch in between.

The surgeon will place an incision in an inconspicuous location around the eyebrow, and then insert a small camera (endoscope) into the deeper tissue. They will view the inner structures on a monitor outside.

This procedure enables the surgeon to undertake a more targeted brow lift surgery causing no trauma or damage to the surrounding tissue. Tiny incisions heal quicker and result in a briefer recovery period and minimal post-operative complications.
