Brow Lift in New Jersey

This is a time-tested method with a good track record for producing predictable and long-lasting results. A more recent method is known as an endoforehead lift, or endoscopic forehead lift, and involves an indirect approach of repositioning the scalp in an upward direction after freeing up the forehead from the underlying bone using an illuminated tube with a camera attached to it and using special instrumentation designed to work through several small incisions in the scalp. Under video guidance, the surgeon works on the frown muscles and frees up the attachments of the eyebrows around the eye sockets so they can be shifted upward to a more youthful position. The forehead is anchored permanently to a higher position on the skull. The advantages of the traditional approach are that a more controlled contouring of the shape of the eyebrow can be obtained.

Brow Lift has been in use for a long time, and the results are long-lived. Complications are few, but include the possibility of a prominent scalp scar, with possible loss of hair along the incision line. Many people develop numbness in a small patch of the scalp at the top of their head. The advantages of the endoforehead lift are that the scars are less lengthy and, therefore, possibly less noticeable. There is less risk of numbness of the scalp. The recovery may be slightly shorter without the need to heal a long incision line. Though complications are few, they include loss of hair at the small incision sites, inability to obtain significant shape change of the brow because of a mainly vertical vector of pull (as opposed to an upward and outward direction of lift with the open technique), and relapse. The procedure is fairly new, so long-term results and longevity metrics remain to be established.
