[Endoscopic brow lift].
Endoscopic surgical techniques have greatly increased in popularity with the advent of modern endoscopes. Endoscopic brow lifting has largely replaced older, more invasive procedures. With this technique a skilled surgeon can identify and treat a ptotic eyebrow by addressing the relevant anatomy, including the frontalis, corrugator, procerus and orbicularis oculi muscles. The frontalis muscle can then be permanently fixed into a predesignated position using titanium screws and permanent sutures. This approach has allowed facial plastic surgeons to address the ptotic brow with decreased rates of edema, hematoma, hypesthesia, alopecia and scarring.
