ANSWER Endoscopic Forehead Lift
The endoscopic forehead lift uses several small incisions in the scalp behind the hairline, dissecting the forehead tissue under endoscopic view to raise and fix drooping brows and forehead. Without a long incision, scarring and sensory risk stay comparatively low, and relaxing the frontalis tension behind forehead wrinkles can be addressed as well.
When Endoscopic Forehead Lift is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
Drooping brows
Lowered brows crowd the eyes and weigh down your look
Forehead wrinkles
Opening the eyes strains the forehead, deepening horizontal lines
Frown lines
Glabellar muscle tension gives you a frowning look
Lid sagging alongside
Brow droop and lid sagging coexist and the cause needs correcting
Avoiding a long scar
You want a forehead lift without a coronal incision
CUSTOM DESIGN
First, we identify why the brows droop
Whether heaviness comes from the lids themselves or from brow and forehead droop changes the surgery. ANSWER Plastic Surgery diagnoses the cause — including checking eye-opening strength with the forehead held still — and designs a forehead lift alone or combined with eyelid surgery.
- 1Lid sagging and brow droop distinguished at diagnosis
- 2Lift amount designed to brow position and forehead height
- 3Upper blepharoplasty or ptosis correction combined when needed
ANSWER POINT
Dissection under endoscopic view of the nerves
Sensory nerves and facial nerve branches cross the forehead, so blind dissection carries risk. The endoscope lets us see and protect nerves and vessels while dissecting, selectively adjust the wrinkle-causing muscles, and fix the lifted tissue stably with anchoring devices.
- 1Nerves and vessels confirmed under endoscopic view
- 2A few small scalp incisions minimize scarring
- 3Wrinkle-causing muscles selectively adjusted
- 4Stable anchoring of lifted tissue for lasting hold
ANSWER Endoscopic Forehead Lift: How It's Done
Consultation & Cause Diagnosis
Brow position and opening strength establish the cause of droop and the lift amount.
Lift Design
Target brow position, anchoring points, and combined surgery are planned.
Endoscopic Lift
Through small scalp incisions, tissue is dissected endoscopically, raised, and anchored.
Recovery Care
Swelling and scalp sensation are monitored, with shampoo and activity guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
QWill the scars show?
The incisions are a few short lines in the scalp, hidden by hair. They typically fade with time, so exposure in daily life stays minimal.
QCould my forehead feel numb?
Temporary numbness of the scalp and forehead can occur early on; dissecting under endoscopic view of the nerves helps reduce it. Most cases recover over time, though individuals vary.
QBotox works too — why surgery?
Botox relaxes muscle temporarily, needs repeating every few months, and cannot raise sagging tissue itself. When brow droop is clear, a structural lift that raises and fixes the tissue may fit better.
