What is Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery?
The endoscopic brow lift is a surgical procedure used to create a more refreshed, youthful appearance in the upper third of the face by removing excess sagging skin around the forehead and repositioning underlying muscle and tissue. This leads to a sizable correction of a heavy or sagging brow and restores a more youthful contour to the upper third of the face. The use of endoscopes improves visualization during surgery but produces minimal scarring, unlike a coronal brow lift, making the endoscopic brow lift a commonly utilized technique.

Before Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery
Why is endoscopic brow lift surgery done?
. Aged appearance: Patients may worry, they have a tired, surprised, worried, or an annoyed look, appearing older than their actual age.
. Eyebrow drooping: Patients may feel an uncomfortable weight of tissue on their eyes.
. Forehead wrinkling
. Eyebrow elevation
. Improve eyebrow symmetry
. Change eyebrow shape
. Decrease the function of muscles causing brow wrinkling
Why do people seek endoscopic brow lift surgery?
Aesthetically, the face is divided into three equal parts, of which the forehead (from the top of the eyebrow to the anterior hairline) occupies the upper third. In males this area averages 7 cm and in females it averages 5 cm.
The male eyebrow is less arched than the female eyebrow. The top of the eyebrow lies approximately 2.5 cm from the mid pupil. With aging, these parameters may shift. A lesser distance denotes eyebrow drooping (ptosis).
Loss of forehead skin elasticity from genetics, sun damage, and gravity causes eyebrow drooping, with resultant upper eyelid drooping and dissatisfaction with the appearance.
Aging causes depletion of the subcutaneous fat. This leads to forehead wrinkling, the direction of which depends upon the underlying muscle.
