An Endoscopic Browlift in a Minimally Invasive procedure to lift the brow.

Endoscopic surgery has been used for decades in various procedures, including gallbladder removal, tubal ligation, sinus surgery, and knee surgery. This type of surgery is performed with the aid of an endoscope, a  small, sterile telescope that allows a surgeon to see images of the body's internal structures through very small incisions.

An endoscopic browlift (or endoscopic forehead lift) is performed through five small incisions hidden behind the hairline.  Using the endoscope, Dr. Bentkover can carefully identify and release the muscles which pull your brow down excessively. With an endoscopic browlift you can usually expect 3-5mm of elevation of the brow. The major advantage of the endoscopic approach is the small incisions and less post-operative numbness.  This technique generally leaves very small scars but may not be the right operation for every patient. If you need more elevation of the brow than can be achieved with this technique or have very heavy brows, an open forehead lift may be better for you.
