:: Endoscopic Brow & Forehead Lift Palo Alto, CA

Endoscopic browlifts, also called forehead lifts, are a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead as well as lift the eyebrows, which may have begun to sag over time. Advances in endoscopic surgery have made this procedure less invasive by reducing the need for large incisions and allowing for increased precision. This procedure is ideal for patients looking to maintain a youthful appearance without a full face lift or other more invasive surgical procedures.

An endoscopic browlift procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours to complete. The surgeon will make 3 incisions within the hairline, which are not visible after recovery. An endoscope, combined with a camera, is used to see beneath the skin and perform the lift. The browlift and wrinkle reduction is achieved by lifting some areas of skin while other wrinkle-causing muscles are weakened. The incisions are then sutured closed and the results of the procedure are permanent.

There is minimal discomfort associated with the browlift procedure, but pain medication may be prescribed if necessary. Because this is a surgical procedure, patients should be in good physical health, free from infection, and allow for recovery time. This procedure is ideal for men or women of all ages looking to lift the brow and reduce wrinkles in the forehead without undergoing a full face lift. This procedure may also be used in younger patients to maintain a youthful appearance and put off the need for a full face lift in the future. Some side effects may occur, and typically include bruising and swelling, which tend to subside within a week. The stitches are also generally removed within in the first week of recovery, allowing patients to return to work and other daily activities. It is advised that more strenuous physical activity be postponed for several weeks following the procedure to ensure full recovery.

This procedure may also be combined with other procedures to achieve desired results, including non surgical injectables and peels with little to no added recovery time.
