Endoscopic Brow Lift

Smooth and Revitalize Your Look

Our board-certified plastic surgeons perform brow lift surgery in Torrance to help people of all ages from Los Angeles, Long Beach, and surrounding areas restore a smooth, refreshed look to the upper face.

The Benefits of Brow Lift

The procedure involves manipulating and adjusting the tissue and skin beneath your forehead and eyebrows to lift drooping brows and tighten wrinkles. Performed by one of our plastic surgeons, a brow lift – also called forehead lift – can provide you with a healthy new look that revitalizes your appearance and rejuvenates your self-esteem. And when performed with an endoscope, the procedure leaves virtually undetectable scars.

Brow lifts are often combined with other facial cosmetic surgery procedures, including facelift and eyelid surgery. If you are thinking of combining several facial cosmetic procedures, talk with your surgeon about planning for the surgery and recovery.

Advantages of Endoscopic Surgery

An endoscope is thin lighted tube that allows the doctor to see and work on facial tissues through a tiny incision. While there is no such thing as “scarless” surgery, endoscopic surgery results in scars that are much smaller and easier to hide. An endoscopic brow lift requires just two or five incisions at the hairline, each about an inch long.

When an endoscope is used some of the after effects of surgery may be minimized. The camera that looks through the endoscope allows the surgeon to see the surgical site almost as clearly as if the skin were opened from a long incision. Because the incisions are shorter with an endoscope the risk of nerve damage is decreased. Also, bleeding, bruising and swelling may be significantly reduced. With the endoscopic approach, you may recover more quickly and return to work earlier than if you had undergone open surgery.

When you consider the alternative — a “coronal” incision running from ear to ear over the top of the head — the advantage of the endoscopic approach is clear. Endoscopic brow lifts can be performed on an outpatient basis in one to two hours, yielding stunning results that last five to ten years. Recovery time is minimal, usually lasting only a few weeks, and side effects are rare.
