What is an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

An endoscopic brow lift is a modern, minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to address the lowering of eyebrows and forehead concerns that often occur with ageing. Unlike traditional brow lift techniques, the endoscopic approach uses several small incisions hidden within the hairline, through which a tiny camera (endoscope) is inserted to guide the procedure.

This advanced technique allows Dr Scamp to precisely modify the underlying tissues and muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines while repositioning the brow.

The endoscopic method involves smaller incisions, typically results in less visible scarring, allows for a shorter recovery period, and can produce natural-looking outcomes compared to traditional approaches.

Many people consider this procedure when they notice that drooping eyebrows are pushing down the skin of their upper eyelids, creating a tired or aged appearance. The endoscopic brow lift can help raise the brow while maintaining natural facial expressions.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The endoscopic approach to brow lift surgery differs to traditional techniques:

  • Minimally invasive – Requires only small incisions hidden within the hairline
  • Reduced scarring – Tiny incisions heal quickly with minimal visible scarring
  • Shorter recovery time – Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days
  • Precise results – The endoscope provides excellent visibility for accurate tissue modification
  • Natural appearance – Allows for subtle adjustments that maintain the patient’s natural expression
  • Less tissue disruption – Minimises trauma to surrounding tissues and reduces swelling
  • Addresses multiple concerns – Improves forehead lines, frown lines, and eyebrow position

An endoscopic brow lift can help raise the brow without the more extensive incisions required by traditional techniques. Dr Scamp will discuss whether this approach is suitable for the patients specific needs during the consultation.

Who is a Good Candidate for Endoscopic Brow Lift?

The endoscopic brow lift technique can be suitable for many patients, but certain factors may influence whether the patient is an ideal candidate. Generally, good candidates include:

  • People with moderate drooping of the eyebrows
  • Those with horizontal forehead lines or vertical frown lines
  • Individuals with good skin elasticity
  • Patients with realistic expectations about outcomes
  • Those in good overall health
  • People without significant hair loss in the incision areas

During the consultation, Dr Scamp will assess the patient’s facial anatomy, skin quality, hairline position, and the degree of brow drooping to determine if an endoscopic brow lift is suitable. He’ll also discuss medical history, including any previous facial surgeries, health conditions, and medications.

Consultation with Dr Terrence Scamp

Before proceeding with an endoscopic brow lift, patients will have a comprehensive consultation at our Gold Coast practice. This important meeting allows Dr Scamp to:

  • Evaluate facial anatomy and brow position
  • Discuss aesthetic objectives and expectations
  • Explain the endoscopic technique in detail
  • Review potential risks and recovery considerations
  • Answer all questions about the procedure

During this consultation, Dr Scamp will inquire about the patient’s medical history, including past surgeries, health conditions, and current medications. This information helps ensure the patient’s safety and optimal results.

Patients will also have the opportunity to discuss what they hope to achieve through brow lift (endoscopic) surgery and may learn about other procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), that may be performed at the same time.

Endoscopic Brow Lift Cost

The cost of an endoscopic brow lift varies depending on several factors specific to the patient’s case. These include:

  • The complexity of the procedure
  • Whether the patients combine it with other treatments

  • Post-operative care requirements

During the consultation with Dr Scamp, patients will receive a detailed quote that outlines all costs involved. This typically includes:

  • Surgeon’s fees
  • Hospital fees
  • Anaesthetist fees
  • Follow-up appointments

While cost is an important consideration, choosing a qualified specialist plastic surgeon with specific experience in endoscopic techniques should be a priority.

Endoscopic Brow Lift Procedure

Preparation

Before the endoscopic brow lift, Dr Scamp will provide specific instructions to help patients prepare. These typically include guidelines about eating, drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain medications. Following these instructions carefully helps ensure optimal results and reduces potential complications.

Surgical Technique

An endoscopic brow lift is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the patient’s case.

The procedure involves several key steps:

  1. Dr Scamp makes 3-5 small incisions (approximately 1-2 cm each) within the hairline
  2. A thin endoscope (camera) is inserted through one incision to provide visibility
  3. Specialised instruments are inserted through the other incisions
  4. The forehead tissues are carefully released from the underlying bone
  5. The muscles that cause frown lines may be modified or partially removed
  6. The eyebrows are repositioned to a more youthful, natural position
  7. The new brow position is secured using either absorbable fixation devices or small temporary screws
  8. The incisions are closed with meticulous care using fine sutures

This minimally invasive approach allows Dr Scamp to make precise adjustments while viewing the internal structures on a monitor, ensuring accurate results with minimal tissue disruption.

Incision Placement

The endoscopic technique uses several small incisions placed strategically within the hairline, making them virtually invisible once healed. Traditional brow lift methods often require longer incisions across the scalp or at the hairline, whereas the endoscopic technique uses smaller incisions.

Recovery After Endoscopic Brow Lift

What to Expect

After the endoscopic brow lift, patients can expect:

  • Temporary swelling and bruising around the eyes, forehead and cheeks
  • Mild to moderate discomfort, manageable with prescribed pain medication
  • Some numbness and itching in the scalp area
  • Possible temporary hair thinning around the incision sites
  • Gradual improvement in appearance as swelling subsides

Dr Scamp will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help manage these temporary effects and ensure proper healing.

Timeline for Recovery

The recovery timeline for an endoscopic brow lift typically follows this pattern:

  • Days 1-3: Rest at home with head elevated; apply cold compresses as directed
  • Days 3-5: Most patients can wash their hair gently
  • Days 5-7: Sutures are typically removed; bruising begins to fade
  • Days 7-10: Most patients return to work and light daily activities
  • Weeks 2-3: Most visible swelling resolves; social activities can usually be resumed
  • Weeks 4-6: Strenuous exercise can typically be resumed; numbness continues to improve
  • 3-6 months: Final results become apparent as all residual swelling resolves

Recovery experiences vary between individuals. Following Dr Scamp’s post-operative care instructions carefully will help optimise the patients healing process and results.

Risks and Complications

As with any surgical procedure, an endoscopic brow lift carries certain risks. These may include:

  • Bleeding and infection
  • Reactions to anaesthesia
  • Temporary or permanent numbness
  • Scarring (though typically minimal with the endoscopic technique)
  • Asymmetry or uneven results
  • Hair loss around incision sites
  • Injury to facial nerves (rare)
  • Need for revision surgery

Dr Scamp takes every precaution to minimise these risks, and serious complications are uncommon. However, it’s important to understand all potential risks before proceeding with surgery.

Patients can help reduce risks by:

  • Following all pre-operative and post-operative instructions
  • Disclosing complete medical history
  • Maintaining realistic expectations
  • Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr Scamp

During the consultation, Dr Scamp will discuss these risks in detail and answer any questions patients may have.
