One thing that turns patients away from plastic surgery is the idea that it requires significant downtime or causes visible scarring. It’s normal to want to avoid looking like you’ve had something done or taking time off to recover from surgery. If you want the rejuvenating results of a brow lift but without visible incisions or extensive downtime, the endoscopic brow lift is an exciting new option.
The endoscopic brow lift is an advanced brow lift technique that uses an endoscope, or a small surgical instrument and live feed camera, to lift and tighten the brow. Traditionally, the brow lift uses a larger “open” incision along the hairline, leading to longer recovery because of the greater impact on the surrounding tissues. The endoscopic brow lift uses virtually undetectable entry points to rejuvenate the brow for a younger, more refreshed look.

How Do I Know When I’m Ready for an Endoscopic Brow Lift?
The endoscopic brow lift is one of the most transformative options for aging signs in the upper face. If you identify with the following, you may benefit from an endoscopic brow lift:
- You feel that you look angry or tired when in a resting state
- You have hooded brows or need to hold your brows up to put on makeup
- You have deep lines or furrows on your brow
- You’ve tried Botox but no longer see the results you want
The lateral brow lift is another option for many patients but the most important consideration for choosing between them is the degree of hooding in the center of the brow. An endoscopic brow lift can rejuvenate the whole brow, lifting it to a more upright position and getting rid of heaviness. For some patients, a lateral brow lift (or mini brow lift) is enough to achieve rejuvenating results. Ultimately, Dr. Gilpin can determine the best surgical approach for your needs. He can also recommend whether your brow lift should be combined with surgical options like upper blepharoplasty or the facelift, as well as non-surgical options like Botox.
What Happens During an Endoscopic Brow Lift?
There are options available for anesthetic during an endoscopic brow lift, and Dr. Gilpin will help you select the right one for your comfort level. Many patients can undergo an endoscopic brow lift while comfortably awake. To begin, Dr. Gilpin will create four small and precise entry points through which the endoscope can be inserted. Dr. Gilpin will use the endoscope to carefully lift and rejuvenate the tissues into their natural position with dissolvable sutures. Once the procedure is complete, you can return home.

Endoscopic Brow Lift Results and Recovery
You can expect some swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort after your endoscopic brow lift at our accredited private surgical suite. Our team will send you home with detailed aftercare instructions on how to care for your incisions, minimize swelling, and more. It’s essential to keep your head elevated and avoid blood-thinning medications, exercise, and irritating your incisions. During your follow-up, Dr. Gilpin will determine when you can return to normal activities. Most patients return to work within a week.
Swelling will continue to subside over 1-2 weeks – at this point, your results will begin to emerge. You’ll see noticeably smoother, more lifted skin on the upper face that creates a more alert and rested look. Your final results will continue to emerge over the next several weeks as the tissues settle. Dr. Gilpin and our team will help you put together a personalized anti-aging regimen to help you maintain your results for the long term.
