Sagging of the eyebrows and deep lines on the forehead can give one a tired, even angry appearance. The endoscopic forehead and eyebrow lift (commonly referred to as a brow lift) is designed to smooth wrinkles and correct drooping eyebrows and heavy eyelids to provide a younger, friendlier, and more alert appearance.   This procedure if often combined with a facelift and blepharoplasty (eyelid lift). The major advantage of the endoscopic brow lift procedure over the traditional forehead lift is that the incisions are small and therefore the risk for bleeding, hair loss, scarring, and scalp numbness is significantly reduced. Lifting the brow can often dramatically improve the appearance of the upper eyelids and allow the surgeon to perform a more conservative upper blepharoplasty while still realizing a beneficial effect.

Anesthesia

Monitored anesthesia with intravenous sedation and local anesthesia is administered by the anesthetist.

Recovery

The major advantage of the endoscopic brow lift procedure over the traditional forehead lift is that the incisions are small and therefore the risk for bleeding, hair loss, scarring, and scalp numbness is significantly reduced. Since the brow lift surgery is less invasive, recovery is faster with most patients returning to work within one week.
