Through the natural aging process, the muscles under the skin relax and the skin begins to sag. A common area for this to happen is the forehead, which can cause your eyebrows to appear lower on your face than they did in your youth. As the brows lower, your eyelids may appear droopy. If you wear makeup, you may notice your eye shadow begins to transfer from your lid to the area where your eyelid crease used to be. While there are many ways to perform a brow lift, the endoscopic brow lift has some appealing benefits that may make it the right choice for you.
How Does the Endoscopic Brow Lift Work?
Any brow lift will shorten the forehead, repositioning the eyebrows and creating a wider-eyed appearance. You will look more awake, alert and youthful. Brow lifts also reduce the ‘worry lines’ that run across your forehead and can also lessen the vertical ’11 lines’ that appear between the eyebrows at the top of the nose.
With any brow lift, it is important to understand they are rarely done without also treating the eye area, and the minimum eye treatment is an upper eyelid lift. This reduces the excess skin above the eye, providing far superior results than the brow lift alone.
Endoscopic brow lifts are particularly appealing because they use fewer (and smaller) incisions that are well-hidden in the hairline. In these three to five small incisions, thin surgical tools and cameras allow the surgeon to lift the forehead and brow, anchoring it to a new, higher point. It is a shorter procedure with fewer risks than traditional brow lift surgery and has a much shorter recovery time. In the hands of a skilled surgeon with advanced training, the results can be just as effective as that of a traditional lift.
Are You a Candidate for a Brow Lift?
Your surgeon will want to examine the extent of brow sagging, as well as your other facial structures, before recommending what kind of brow lift is best for you. There are many different types of brow lift procedures available, and your surgeon can identify which method will best address your concerns.
