Endoscopic Forehead Lift The effects of aging are inevitable. The skin begins to lose its elasticity. Sun, wind, and the pull of gravity all affect the face, resulting in frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increasing heaviness of the eyebrows and the upper eyelids. These changes increase the amount of skin between the brow and the upper eyelid lash line. Some people inherit drooping eyebrows called eyebrow ptosis. For this reason, even people in their thirties may have faces that look older than their years. A tired, angry, or sad expression may not reflect how you actually feel. As a result, many people have opted for a procedure known as a forehead lift. A forehead lift elevates the eyebrows and diminishes the wrinkles in the forehead and frown lines between the eyebrows to improve the upper one-third of the face. What is an Endoscopic Forehead Lift? An endoscopic forehead lift is a newer less invasive procedure. This technique is similar to the open forehead lift, except that a series of small incisions just behind the hairline are made and an endoscope the size of a drinking straw is used for visualization. The forehead and eyebrows are lifted to reduce the sagging of skin at the eyelid level and the entire area that has been elevated is secured with sutures. The incisions are closed with sutures or metal clips and a bandage is applied. Both open and endoscopic forehead lift procedures typically last about two hours. |
