title: Technical considerations in endoscopic brow lift.
abstract: The authors discuss how, in performing an endoscopic brow lift, meticulous surgical technique, adherence to anatomic dissection planes, and direct visualization used at key points in the procedure enable a safer, more-complete dissection and a better outcome. Anatomy as it relates to the procedure is discussed. Patient evaluation and patient expectations are reviewed with a discussion of the points to present to patients about outcomes of this surgery. Detailed steps of the endoscopic brow-lift technique are presented. Complications are discussed and the authors conclude with a summarization of what the ideal brow-lift procedure would accomplish.
