ENDOSCOPIC BROWLIFT
A forehead lift, or brow lift, is designed to reposition sagging eyebrows
that can cause a person to look tired, sad or angry. Endoscopic Brow
lift, or forehead lift, is the most common endoscopic procedure used
by cosmetic surgeons. With this method, instead of the usual ear-to-ear
incision, two or more tiny incisions, or "puncture type"
incisions are made just at the hairline. The eyebrows are then repositioned
to a higher level, resulting in a more relaxed, refreshed and youthful
appearance.
The best candidates for a forehead/Brow lift are:
- Sagging or low position of the eyebrows creating a tired or
sad appearance
- Deep horizontal creases across the forehead
- Frown lines, or furrows between the eyebrows and top of the
nose.
Endoscopy is a surgical procedure that uses a tool called an endoscope,
a special viewing instrument that allows your doctor to view images
of the patient’s internal structures with minimal incisions.
Endoscopy has been used in a number of different procedures, including
gallbladder removal, tubal ligation, and knee surgery. Now the procedure
is being used for cosmetic plastic surgery applications, in place
of techniques that may leave behind undesirable, or excessively visible
scars.
As with any surgical procedure, there is always the possibility of
side effects occurring. Some side effects of a brow lift include infection,
fluid accumulation under the skin, which may need to be drained, blood
vessel damage, nerve damage or loss of feeling, internal perforation
injury, and skin injury. Despite the known risks, endoscopic surgery
complications are rare and it must be noted that endoscopy has been
used successfully for decades in orthopedic, urologic, and gynecologic
procedures, and the technique is continually improving.
- Keep your head elevated 12”-18”
above the level of your heart by using pillows. DO NOT LIE FLAT.
- Sleep on your back.
- No bending over or heavy lifting for one
week.
- Limit strenuous activity or exercise for
three weeks.
- You may shower the day after surgery (after
the dressing is removed). Please do not let the force of the water
hit directly on the incisions.
- It is normal for the eyes to bruise.
- No smoking!
- No hair coloring for 1 month.
