A brow lifts is a surgical procedure designed to improve facial appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles along the brow. The endoscopic brow lift offers the same rejuvenating results as a traditional brow lift with the benefit of being a less-invasive procedure. Here is an explanation of the endoscopic brow lift procedure from the experts at our Pasadena plastic surgery practice.
Endoscopic Brow Lift Procedure
The endoscopic brow lift procedure is used to improve the appearance by reducing sagging skin and wrinkles around the brow. Endoscopic brow lifts are less invasive than the traditional brow lift procedure in that only a few small incisions are necessary; in traditional brow lift surgery, a large incision is created, extending from ear to ear.
The endoscopic brow lift is performed with an endoscope. An endoscope is a surgical tool that uses a small camera with an attached light to see beneath the skin and within the tissues. Endoscopes allow surgeons to see where the muscles and tissues lie beneath the skin. During an endoscopic brow lift, the skin is tightened and smoothed through small incisions. Once the desired results are achieved, the incisions are stitched closed and bandaged. Recovery time is much quicker than a traditional brow lift. Most people are able to go about their daily routine in less than a week following endoscopic browlift surgery.
The Benefits of Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery
Endoscopic brow lift surgery has many benefits. For most, the biggest benefit is an increase in confidence from the improvement in appearance. Following endoscopic brow lift surgery, you can expect to look more rested, rejuvenated, and youthful. Here are just a few of the many benefits of endoscopic brow lift surgery:
Improved confidence: The results of an endoscopic brow lift are long lasting and can help improve self-esteem and confidence.
Rejuvenated appearance: Endoscopic brow lifts reduce the signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, excess skin, and sagging.
Quick recovery time: Because incisions are small, endoscopic brow lift patients enjoy a quick recovery time.
Less scarring than traditional brow lift surgery: Smaller incisions result in smaller scars for endoscopic brow lift patients.
