What is and endoscopic browlift?
An endoscopic browlift (or endoscopic forehead lift) is an operation to lift the brow 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. 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? Most of the black and blue and swelling is gone by 10-14 days. Of course, smokers generally swell more.
Will I look surprised? Dr. Bentkover will make every effort to elevate your brow to an appropriate level. He does not want you to look surprised.
