Browlift / Endoscopic Browlift
Eyebrows tend to droop with age. If the eyebrows droop excessively, repositioning the eyebrows to the proper level will give a much more youthful and pleasant appearance. Over-elevation of the brow can give an unnatural, surprised look. Not all surgeons realize the importance of this need for correct positioning and may over elevate the eyebrow. This will result in a surprised or unpleasant appearance.
A browlift can be done, either as an endoscopic procedure, or with a coronal browlift. Endoscopic brow surgery is more widely used, but both types of browlifts have advantages. The endoscopic browlift utilizes several small incisions in the hair, through which the browlift is done with endoscopic instruments.
The coronal browlift works well when a full facelift is being done at the same time and allows precise positioning of the eyebrows. While the incision is longer, the scar is usually very well hidden by the hair.
These patients may also appear tired or angry due to furrows between the eyebrows. The browlift does an excellent job in correcting this problem. The results of a well done browlift appear both refreshed and natural.
