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.
