What is the best browlift technique, endoscopic or open? Dr. Bentkover does both procedures. His choice of procedure depends on the amount of elevation required and, sometimes, the age of the patient. He generally recommends endoscopic procedures to patients under 50. His ultimate decision, however, depends on your exam and your desires. How long is the recovery? The swelling for endoscopic and open procedures is about the same. Of course, smokers generally swell more. In most cases you will have some eyelid swelling. Most of the black and blue and swelling is gone by 10-14 days.
