How is an Endoscopic Browlift surgery performed?
An endoscopic browlift surgery is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgical procedure that is used to raise lowered brows, remove wrinkles from the forehead area and give an overall youthful appearance to the upper facial region.
The endoscopic browlift surgery requires the surgeon to use an endoscope (thin long surgical tube with a cold light source and high-definition video camera attached to it) to view the underlying soft tissue inside the skin of the forehead. The surgeon will make a total of five very small (keyhole) incisions, three on the top of the scalp while one each at the sides of the two temples. The endoscope is inserted under the skin using these small incisions. As this is a minimally invasive surgery and the incisions are made above the hairline it has dual benefits for the patient.
The surgeon will view the video feed in real-time on a high-resolution video monitor. Other minimally invasive surgical instruments are then used to remove the underlying fatty tissues (if any), tighten the loosened underlying soft tissues and stretch the skin to remove any wrinkles. The small incisions heal quickly with time and the recovery time from this procedure is also considerably less. This is practically a scar less cosmetic surgery as the incisions are very small and hidden under the hair.
What is recovery like after an Endoscopic Browlift surgery?
The cosmetic surgeon handling you surgery will inform you about the potential time for recovery after an endoscopic browlift before you resume normal everyday activities. The surgeon will give detailed instructions regarding post-surgical care of the incisions as well as checking for signs and symptoms of complications. An endoscopic browlift surgery is an efficient and effective cosmetic surgery to restore a youthful appearance with improvement in the upper facial region using minimally invasive surgical methods.
