Refresh Your Face With a Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Forehead Lift
- Posted on: Dec 15 2023
For patients with drooping eyebrows (brow ptosis), an endoscopic forehead lift can provide minimally invasive rejuvenation. By lifting the forehead, Dr. Bardia Amirlak restores symmetry to the face and smooths forehead wrinkles.
Why Endoscopic?
The term “endoscopic” refers to the use of a device called an endoscope, which allows the plastic surgeon to view the inside of your body with an extremely small camera.
Compared to a traditional brow lift, the endoscopic forehead lift uses much smaller incisions and has less visible scarring and downtime.
Another benefit of an endoscopic technique is improved visual field for the surgeon. The endoscope allows Dr. Amirlak to operate with enhanced imagery displayed on a high-definition monitor. By using this method, he can make precise movements that limit the risk of nerve or tissue damage.
The Procedure
An endoscopic forehead lift is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Amirlak creates an incision using a scalpel along your forehead, then introduces the endoscope into your deep temporal fascia. Fascia is composed of multiple layers of connective tissue beneath the skin.
Using the endoscope as a guide, Dr. Amirlak will make muscle adjustments and lift the skin as needed. He will then remove the endoscope and close the incisions using absorbable or nylon sutures.
Downtime is two to four weeks, depending on your body’s healing rate and the extent of bruising. Patients can expect full recovery within 14 days, though results can continue to improve for several months.
