Aging is one of the main factors that lead people to brow lift treatment when brows tend to move down as we age. As the skin ages, it loses elasticity along with the soft tissues and hence results in the shortening of the distance between eyebrows and eyelashes; this often causes the eyes to look tired and dull all the time.

Brow lift is a cosmetic procedure performed to improve symmetry of low and sagging brows. Also known as a forehead lift or forehead rejuvenation, brow lift also helps to improve the appearance of the forehead while focusing on the brow and the area around the eyes by raising soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow. The treatment helps to eliminate the visible furrows, tighten your forehead skin and muscles to look refreshed with younger and happier facial expressions.

In Endoscopic Brow Lift, several small incisions will be made behind the hairline, then an endoscope will be inserted with a long thin tube through one of the incisions to view the underlying muscles and tissues. In this method, forehead tissues will be lifted and anchored with sutures or small screws.
