Endoscopic Brow Lifts:

One of the techniques that plastic surgeons make use of for a brow lift cosmetic surgery procedure is an endoscopic brow lift. This particular technique is optimal for individuals who are younger than 40 and prefer just a slight alteration in their facial appearance.

There are multiple incisions made in the area of surgery for this technique. A type of camera called an endoscope is the main tool that is made use of for this procedure and is inserted in one of the incisions. In another opening the operating device is inserted which is navigated by the surgeon by looking at a screen.

The incisions that are made for an endoscopic brow lift surgery are conveniently hidden by the hairline making it easier on the patient post-surgery. The small size of the incisions however makes it difficult for the surgeon to do anything more than alter the vertical frown-causing muscles.

Removal of excess skin, horizontal frown lines and major muscle changes are not possible and require a different type of brow lift operating technique altogether. This is one of the main reasons why cosmetic surgeons recommend younger patients to have this procedure.
