Endoscopic Brow Lift Procedure: FAQs

Posted on

If you are like a lot of people, your forehead and the area just above your eyes will be where you start noticing sagging skin the most as you age. Thankfully, brow lift procedures can help minimize the appearance of sagging skin in these areas, and an endoscopic brow lift procedure is the latest cosmetic surgery option. Here's what you need to know. 

Is the procedure painful?

Endoscopic brow lifts are done under general anesthesia so you will not have any discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure, you may have some mild discomfort around the small incisions, but the pain should not be anything that you should need anything more than over-the-counter pain relievers to treat. 

How effective is the endoscopic brow lift procedure?

Endoscopic brow lifts are considered to be just as effective as the traditional method. Some people will see better results with a coronal brow lift, which is a procedure that involves lifting the entire piece of tissue of the forehead. It is best to talk to your doctor to determine what kind of results you should expect to see and how long they should last. Every patient will have different results. 

What are the benefits of the endoscopic brow lift procedure?

The endoscopic brow lift procedure is preferred for a few different reasons. Since the tools used to do the surgery are so small and the incisions are so tiny, the recovery period tends to be much shorter than with other brow lift surgeries. You probably will not see as much bruising and will experience less discomfort. Most people also prefer this form of brow lift because it yields similar results that will last about as long as other procedures. 

What is recovery like after the procedure is done?

Your doctor will give you direct instructions as to what you should and should not do during recovery. However, a few general guidelines to remember include: 

  • Keep your head elevated when you are in a lying-down position 
  • Watch out for any severe pain, redness, or swelling 
  • Use ice as needed to minimize discomfort right after surgery 
  • Avoid using makeup or facial products around incisions for a few days 

Overall, the endoscopic brow lift procedure is a good solution for a lot of people who wish to have a more youthful appearance. Reach out to a clinic such as DFW Plastic Surgery in your area for more information about brow lift procedures that could be an option for you.
