An endoscopic brow lift cosmetic surgery addresses the effects of aging around the forehead and brows as well as makes the soft tissues of the forehead firmer to create a more youthful definition to the eyebrows, upper eyelids, and forehead skin.
There are various brow lift techniques involving different incision lengths in diverse areas, and sometimes, using an endoscope.
At the time of the initial consultation, the patient will have an opportunity to share their aesthetic requirements with their surgeon.
The surgeon will assess the prospective patient’s candidacy for an endoscopic brow lift procedure and explain to them what this procedure can reasonably accomplish.
