Brow lift / Endoscopic brow lift

The ideal candidate

The brow lift using the endoscopic technique is suitable for people who want to correct sagging eyebrows and give a more rested and rejuvenated appearance to the forehead area, without visible scars. This procedure is particularly recommended for those with moderately reduced skin elasticity and without conditions that would impede optimal healing.

• People with drooping eyebrows or eyebrow asymmetries
• Patients with fine or moderate wrinkles in the forehead area
• Age between 35 and 65 years, with reasonable skin tone
• Realistic expectations regarding the result and recovery
• Without medical conditions that would contraindicate surgery

The technique

The brow lift procedure is performed through small incisions hidden in the scalp, through which an endoscopic camera and special instruments are introduced. This allows the surgeon to lift and fix the tissues and muscles of the eyebrows without making large or visible incisions. The endoscopic technique minimizes trauma and scarring, offering a natural result and a faster recovery.

Anesthesia and duration

The intervention is usually performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation, depending on the patient’s particularities and the doctor’s recommendation. The duration of the procedure is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

Recovery

The first few days

Swelling and bruising may be present in the forehead and eyebrow area; rest and avoidance of intense physical effort are recommended.

The first week

It is recommended to avoid sun exposure and activities that can increase blood pressure; the sutures are usually removed during this period.

The first month

Discomfort and swelling decrease significantly, and the appearance of the area begins to stabilize; usual activities can gradually be resumed.

The final results are generally visible after 3-6 months, when the tissues heal completely and the position of the eyebrows stabilizes.

Risks and safety

• Local infections
• Bleeding or hematoma
• Temporary numbness or sensory changes in the scalp area
• Asymmetry or the need for subsequent corrections
• Delayed healing or visible scars in rare cases

All these risks are evaluated and minimized through a detailed preoperative consultation, adherence to surgical protocols, and careful monitoring during the postoperative period.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the effect of an endoscopic brow lift last?

The results can last between 5 and 10 years, depending on the patient’s age, skin quality, and lifestyle.

Will visible scars remain after the intervention?

The incisions are very small and placed in the scalp, so the scars are almost invisible once healed.

Is the procedure and the recovery period painful?

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during the intervention. Postoperatively, the discomfort is moderate and can be managed with appropriate medication.

When can I resume sports activities after the brow lift?

Light physical activities can be resumed after approximately 2 weeks, and intense sports after at least 4 weeks, depending on individual progress.
