Brow Lift

With Endoscopic Technique

The earliest signs of aging often appear on your brow and forehead. As you age, your skin slowly begins to lose some of its elasticity and fat tissue, which can cause substantial wrinkling of the forehead and drooping of the eyebrows. Additional factors such as genetics, sun exposure and race may also contribute to these fine lines and wrinkles.

If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your brow and forehead, brow lift surgery may be a great option for you. During the consultation process, Dr. Feledy will determine if a traditional brow lift or an endoscopic brow lift is best for you. The traditional method involves a single incision that runs the length of the hairline at the top of the forehead, whereas the endoscopic method requires only a few small incisions along the hairline.

What is the endoscopic technique?

Both brow lift techniques involve removing excess forehead skin, repositioning underlying tissues and relaxing the forehead muscles that cause wrinkles.
