A brow lift can revitalize a drooping or lined forehead, helping you to look less angry, sad or tired. Using minimally invasive (endoscopic) methods, a brow lift involves the removal or alteration of the muscles above the eyes to smooth lines and raise the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance. The procedure is often combined with other operations such as blepharoplasty and facelift to improve the look of the eyes and other areas of the face.
Endoscopic Brow Lift Procedure Details
In an endoscopic brow lift, the patient’s hair is tied back and Dr. Funt makes three to five short incisions (less than an inch long) behind the hairline. The endoscope is placed in one one of these incisions so he can see beneath the skin without having to make a large incision, while he lifts the skin and adjusts tissues through the other.
Dr. Funt uses the endotine forehead device instead of non-absorbable sutures in a brow lift. It lifts the brow tissues using several points of contact instead of only one as with sutures or screws. Once implanted, the device holds the lifted tissues in place as they complete the process of reattaching to the scalp. The device is then absorbed into the body until it is completely dissolved. Other advantages of the endotine device are that it can be adjusted, it eliminates the need for metal screws in the scalp, does not cause hair loss by pinching hair follicles, does not need to be removed.
