What is an endoscopic brow lift?
An endoscopic brow lift is one of the facial aesthetic or plastic surgery procedures and is used to make a person’s eyebrows look younger and more vibrant. This procedure is performed to correct sagging eyebrows, move the eyebrows to a higher position and reduce the signs of aging around the eyes.
The endoscopic brow lift is performed using a type of minimally invasive surgical technique called endoscopy. This technique makes it possible to perform the surgery by using smaller incisions and looking inside with the help of an endoscope (a thin tube and camera). This can result in less tissue damage, less visible scarring and a faster healing process than traditional open surgery.
During an endoscopic brow lift, the surgeon enters under the skin with the endoscope, repositions the muscles and tissues and moves the eyebrows to the desired height. This procedure helps to maintain a natural appearance while correcting sagging eyebrows.
The endoscopic brow lift is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation and patients can usually return home the same day or within a few days. The recovery process can vary from person to person, but is usually faster and results in less discomfort.
Endoscopic brow lift may be an option for people who want to alleviate the signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance. However, it is important to consult with a plastic surgeon before deciding on this type of surgery, as it is important to assess whether it is a suitable option for each patient.
How is an endoscopic brow lift performed?
Endoscopic brow lift is a surgical procedure that involves the following steps:
Anesthesia: Before the procedure begins, the patient is usually given local anesthesia or sedation (semi-conscious) anesthesia. This ensures that the patient feels no pain and is comfortable.
Making Incisions: The endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure, so it is usually performed through very small incisions. These incisions are hidden in the scalp or above the eyebrows so that scars are less visible.
Using the Endoscope: The surgeon enters through the incisions using a thin tube and camera system called an endoscope. This endoscope gives the surgeon the ability to view inside the tissues.
Muscle and Tissue Regulation: By looking through the endoscope, the surgeon repositions the muscles and tissues that cause sagging eyebrows. This allows the eyebrows to be raised and brought into the desired position.
Stabilization: Once the eyebrows are in the desired position, the surgeon usually uses special sutures or implants to stabilize the eyebrows.
Closing the Incisions: The incisions are closed and the healing process begins. These stitches are usually self-dissolving.
Healing and Results: The healing process can vary from person to person, but it is usually faster and results in less discomfort. Swelling and bruising may decrease within a few days. Once recovery is complete, patients may have a younger and more vibrant appearance.
Endoscopic brow lift may be an option for people who want to correct sagging eyebrows and achieve a more youthful appearance. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. Therefore, if you are considering this type of procedure, you should consult with a plastic surgeon and assess whether the procedure is right for you.
Why is a brow lift performed?
Brow lift is performed to improve facial aesthetics and correct some signs of aging. Brow lift can be performed for the following reasons:
Sagging Eyebrows: Eyebrows may also sag with the aging process. Sagging eyebrows can leave the eyes looking tired or sad. A brow lift can correct this sagging by bringing the eyebrows to a younger and more vibrant position.
Eye Contour Aesthetics: A brow lift can be performed to improve the aesthetics around the eyes. With this procedure, sagging eyelids can be prevented by lifting the eyebrows, and the eyes can gain a more open and energetic appearance.
Forehead Lines A brow lift can be used to reduce wrinkles or lines on the forehead. Raising the eyebrows stretches the forehead skin and can improve the appearance of lines in these areas.
Aesthetic Preferences: Some people may want to change their natural brow structure or have more defined eyebrows. Brow lifting can be performed in accordance with these aesthetic preferences.
Increased Self-Confidence: As a result of the brow lift procedure, the person’s face may look younger and fresher. This can increase self-confidence and have a positive effect on social life.
Brow lift can be performed for different reasons depending on personal aesthetic preferences and the effects of the aging process. However, if you are considering this type of surgery, you should consult with a plastic surgeon and evaluate whether the procedure is suitable for you. You should be informed about the potential risks, healing process and expectations before the procedure.
What should the ideal eyebrow look like?
The “ideal” eyebrows can vary according to personal preferences, facial structure and perception of beauty, so there is no completely uniform definition of the ideal eyebrow for everyone. However, there are some general guidelines and aesthetic principles. Ideal eyebrows can have the following characteristics:
Appropriateness to Face Shape: The ideal eyebrows should be suitable for the person’s facial structure. The shape and height of the eyebrows may vary according to the face shape. For example, higher and curved eyebrows may be suitable for a person with a round face, while more horizontal and straight eyebrows may look better for someone with a long face.
The Eyebrow Should Be Curved: Generally, ideal eyebrows are characterized by a pronounced arch. Starting from the center of the eyebrows and slowly curving upwards can help the eyes look more open and lively.
Natural Appearance: Ideal eyebrows should look natural. Overly thinned or overly curved eyebrows can create an artificial look. Natural eyebrows can reflect the uneven and random growth of eyebrow hairs.
Eyebrow Length: The length of the eyebrows should generally extend from the inner corner to the outer corner. The inner corner of the eyebrows starts right next to the wing of the nose and the outer corner extends to the outer corner of the eye.
Balance: The ideal eyebrows should be in balance with the other features of the face. The distance between the eyes should be in harmony with the width and height of the eyebrows.
Eyebrow Color: The color of the eyebrows should generally match the person’s natural hair color. However, some people may dye their eyebrows a little darker or lighter than their hair color.
Eyebrow Care: Ideal eyebrows should be well groomed. Eyebrows may need to be shaved or trimmed regularly, but this should not be overdone.
Remember that the perception of beauty is personal and everyone may have different preferences for ideal eyebrows. When shaping your eyebrows, it is important to achieve a look that best suits your facial structure and personal preferences. Shaping your eyebrows with the help of a professional esthetician or hairdresser can help you achieve the desired result.
Who is suitable for endoscopic brow lift?
Endoscopic brow lift is suitable for people who have certain aesthetic goals and meet certain conditions. However, it may not be a suitable option for everyone. Suitable candidates for endoscopic brow lift may be
Sagging Eyebrows: Ideal candidates are usually people with sagging eyebrows. This procedure can be considered if the eyebrows have sagged due to the aging process, gravity or genetic factors.
General Health Status: The person considering the procedure should be in good general health. This procedure may be risky for people with health problems that are not suitable for surgery.
Expectations: Ideal candidates are those who have realistic expectations. An endoscopic brow lift moves the eyebrows to a higher position and reduces the signs of aging, but does not provide a perfect face or dramatic change.
Age: Generally this procedure is common among more mature adults, as signs of aging are often less pronounced at younger ages.
An intact skin structure: A brow lift requires skin elasticity and quality. Having a firm skin structure can improve the results of the procedure.
Being Prepared for the Recovery Process: The recovery process after the procedure is important and the person should follow the surgeon’s recommendations and rest. Swelling, bruising and temporary discomfort may occur after the procedure.
It is important to be examined by a plastic surgeon to determine the best candidates for an endoscopic brow lift and to assess suitability. The surgeon will assess the individual’s specific needs and expectations and recommend the appropriate treatment plan. Also, there may be other options other than endoscopic brow lift, so it is important to consider different treatment options.
What are endoscopic brow lift methods?
Endoscopic brow lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to give the eyebrows a younger and more vibrant appearance. This procedure is usually minimally invasive and can be performed with different techniques. Endoscopic brow lift methods are described below:
Endoscopic Forehead Lift: In this method, the forehead area is also corrected during the brow lift procedure. The surgeon uses an endoscope to lift and stretch the forehead skin. This allows the eyebrows to be raised as well as the forehead lines to be reduced.
Endoscopic Brow Lift: This method is used to correct sagging eyebrows and achieve a more youthful appearance. The surgeon repositions the muscles and tissues of the eyebrows by looking inside with an endoscope and lifts the eyebrows upwards. This procedure offers less tissue damage and a faster healing process.
Endoscopic Forehead and Brow Lift: This method is used when the forehead and eyebrows need to be corrected at the same time. With the help of an endoscope, the surgeon both lifts the forehead skin and raises the eyebrows.
Endoscopic Internal Brow Lift: Some people may prefer to have an internal brow lift, especially when they want to correct the signs of aging around the eyes. This method focuses only on raising the inner eyebrows.
How is a surgical brow lift performed?
A surgical brow lift (also known as a brow lift or brow lift) is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make a person’s eyebrows look younger and more vibrant. The procedure can be performed with traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques. Here are the general steps of a surgical brow lift:
Anesthesia: Before the procedure begins, the patient is usually given local anesthesia or sedation (semi-conscious) anesthesia. This ensures that the patient feels no pain and is comfortable.
Making the Incisions: A surgical brow lift is performed using incisions that are usually hidden in the scalp or above the eyebrows. These incisions make the scars less visible.
Correction of Muscles and Tissues: The surgeon repositions the muscles and tissues that cause the eyebrows to sag and lifts the eyebrows upwards. This ensures that the eyebrows are brought into the desired position.
Stitches or Fixation if needed: Stitches or special implants can be used to bring the eyebrows into the desired position. This helps to maintain the new position of the eyebrows.
Closing the Incisions: When the procedure is complete, the incisions are closed. These stitches are usually self-dissolving.
Recovery and Results: The healing process can vary from person to person, but usually takes a few weeks. Careful aftercare may be required, and you may experience swelling, bruising and temporary discomfort. However, once the healing is complete, the eyebrows will be in a higher position and the person will have a more youthful appearance.
A surgical brow lift may be an option for people who want to correct sagging eyebrows, reduce signs of aging around the eyes and improve overall facial aesthetics. However, it is important to consult with a plastic surgeon before deciding on this type of surgery, as it is not a suitable option for every patient.
At what age is brow lift surgery performed?
Brow lift surgery can be performed on people who want to correct signs of aging or sagging eyebrows. However, when the surgery should be performed may vary depending on the age of the person and the signs of aging. There is no specific age limit for brow lift surgery, because the signs of aging may differ from person to person.
Generally, brow lift surgery is considered when the signs of aging become evident or when the person is uncomfortable with these signs. These signs may include sagging eyebrows, forehead lines, drooping eyelids and general facial tightening.
Suitable candidates for brow lift surgery usually start thinking about it in their late 40s or 50s, although some people may consider the procedure at an earlier age. The important thing is to consult with a plastic surgeon to assess the appropriateness of the surgery with the person’s signs of aging and aesthetic goals. The surgeon will assess the individual’s specific needs and expectations and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Another point to remember is that brow lift surgery is a surgical procedure and requires postoperative recovery. Swelling, bruising and temporary discomfort may occur after the procedure. The person considering the surgery should be in a position to provide the time and care required for the healing process. Therefore, in addition to the age factor, general health status may also affect the feasibility of the surgery.
What is the eyebrow suspension method? How is it performed?
The brow thread lift (also called brow thread lift or brow thread lift) is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure used to make a person’s eyebrows look younger and more vibrant. This procedure is performed to correct sagging eyebrows or to elevate the eyebrows. Here are the general steps on how the eyebrow lift procedure is performed:
Patient Preparation: Before the procedure, the patient’s face is cleaned and the eyebrows are carefully examined. The surgeon evaluates how the eyebrows should be corrected and decides how the surgery will be performed.
Local Anesthesia: Before the procedure begins, the eyebrows and the surrounding area are usually numbed with local anesthesia. This prevents the patient from feeling pain or discomfort during the procedure.
Thread Placement: The surgeon makes thin incisions under the skin under or around the eyebrows using sterile threads (often called PDO threads). These threads are placed under the skin and attach to the tissues under the skin.
Stretching the Threads: The threads are stretched to pull the eyebrows upwards and into the desired position. This gives the eyebrows a younger and more vibrant appearance.
Aftercare: After the threads are placed, a stretching effect occurs, which will help the threads placed under the skin to keep the skin tight. Careful post-procedure care and cold applications may be required to reduce swelling.
The eyebrow thread lift method offers a less invasive option than traditional surgery and usually results in a faster recovery. However, the results of the procedure may be temporary and may need to be corrected again after a certain period of time. It is important to follow the post-procedure recommendations and make regular follow-up visits to ensure the best results.
You should consult with a plastic surgeon to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a brow lift procedure and to learn the most appropriate treatment options.
What is the recovery period after brow lift surgery?
The recovery period after brow lift surgery may vary from person to person, but it usually goes through the following stages:
Immediate Aftermath:
In the first few days after surgery, mild swelling, bruising and discomfort in the area are normal.
The incisions in the surgical area may be closed with stitches. These stitches are usually self-dissolving.
First Week:
Swelling and bruising may persist during the first week, but these symptoms will decrease over time.
For the first few days after surgery, you may be advised to keep your head elevated and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling.
You should provide wound care as recommended by your surgeon.
Pain or discomfort is usually mild to moderate and can be managed with painkillers recommended by your surgeon.
First few weeks:
Physical activity may be restricted as the healing process continues. Heavy exercises and heavy loads should be avoided.
There may be a feeling of tenderness or tightness around the eyes.
You should go to your surgeon’s appointments for your postoperative check-ups.
Complete Recovery:
After the first few weeks, swelling and bruising usually disappear completely.
The healing process can vary from person to person, but usually full recovery takes a few weeks to a few months.
Is there a non-surgical eyebrow lift method instead of eyebrow lift surgery?
Yes, there are non-surgical brow lift methods instead of brow lift surgery. Non-surgical brow lift procedures are performed with minimally invasive or non-invasive techniques and usually carry less discomfort, shorter recovery time and less risk. Here are some of the non-surgical brow lift methods:
Botox (Botulinum Toxin): Botox is an injection treatment that causes temporary relaxation of the muscles. The muscles that cause sagging eyebrows can be relaxed with botox injection and the eyebrows can be lifted up. This method usually gives fast results, but the effect is temporary and may need to be repeated after a certain period of time.
Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers can help raise the eyebrows by injecting them under or around the eyebrows. These fillers increase the volume under the skin and allow the eyebrows to be drawn upwards. Results are usually seen immediately and can last from a few months to several years.
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound): HIFU is used to tighten the tissues under the skin using focused ultrasound waves. It can be used to tighten and lift the eyebrows. The results improve over time and can provide long-lasting effects.
Thread Lift: Thread lift involves placing special threads under the skin. These threads pull the skin upwards and allow the eyebrows to rise. Results are seen immediately and can usually last for several months.
Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy: Radiofrequency energy can stimulate collagen production by heating the tissues under the skin. It can be used to tighten and lift the eyebrows.
Non-surgical brow lift methods can be an attractive option for many people because they are less invasive than surgery. However, it is important to consult a specialist to determine which method is most appropriate and to assess whether the procedure is right for you. Your skin type, age, and aesthetic goals may determine which non-surgical brow lift method is best for you.
Can Combination Treatments Be Applied to Brow Lift Surgery?
Yes, various combined treatments can be applied to brow lift surgery. Although surgical brow lift is an effective way alone, some patients may achieve better results with additional treatments or may need combined treatments to support the postoperative healing process. Here are some treatment options that can be combined with brow lift surgery:
Botox and Dermal Fillers: After brow lift surgery, it may be possible to further raise the eyebrows or reduce wrinkles around the eyes with botox or dermal fillers.
Surgical Intervention on Eyelids: Brow lift surgery can correct sagging eyelids, but in some cases, additional eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may be required. Surgical intervention on the eyelids can be performed together with brow lift surgery.
Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy: RF therapy can increase skin tightness and improve the results of brow lift surgery. This method can be used to maintain or increase skin tightness after surgery.
Thread Lift: Thread lift can help to further elevate the eyebrows post-operatively or can be used to support post-operative results.
Skin Care: Postoperative skin care and professional skin treatments can be used to improve the results of surgery and maintain skin health.
It is important to consult with a plastic surgeon or aesthetic specialist to determine which combined treatments are appropriate and what kind of treatment plan will provide the best results. A personalised treatment plan that combines surgical and non-surgical options should suit the individual’s specific needs and aesthetic goals.
Are There Scars After Brow Lift Surgery?
Minimal scars may usually remain after brow lift surgery, but these scars are usually quite small and unremarkable. Brow lift surgeries are usually performed using incisions hidden in the scalp or in the natural layers of the eyebrows. In this way, the visibility of the incisions is minimised.
The size and visibility of scars may vary depending on factors such as surgical technique, the person’s skin structure and healing ability. Most of the time, the scars formed after such surgeries fade and become less visible over time. To reduce the visibility of scars and accelerate healing, plastic surgeons often use special suturing techniques and provide patient care instructions to guide the healing process.
It is important to follow your surgeon’s recommendations to minimise scar formation and achieve the best postoperative results. These instructions may include wound care, sun protection, and a specific healing process. How long the scars remain visible can vary from person to person, but in most cases they will fade and become less noticeable over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How permanent is endoscopic brow lift?
Endoscopic brow lift results may vary from person to person and depending on the surgical techniques. However, generally endoscopic brow lift results are not permanent and the effects may diminish over time. Here is some important information about the duration of endoscopic brow lift results:
The Process May Change Over Time: Endoscopic brow lift is used to correct sagging eyebrows and achieve a more youthful appearance. However, as the natural process of aging continues, loss of skin elasticity and changes in muscle activity may occur. Therefore, the effects of the procedure may diminish over time.
Post Procedure Care: To maintain the new position of the eyebrows after the procedure, it is important to care as recommended by the plastic surgeon. Adapting to the healing process and protecting the skin can increase the long-term permanence of the results.
Personal Factors: Endoscopic brow lift results may vary depending on the person’s age, skin type, genetic factors, and severity of signs of aging. Therefore, the same duration of permanence does not apply to everyone.
Reassessment and Maintenance: Endoscopic brow lift results may need to be re-evaluated after a certain period of time. The surgeon can help maintain the results by recommending revision procedures or additional treatments if necessary.
In conclusion, endoscopic brow lift usually offers long-lasting results, but these results may differ from person to person and may change over time. Good skin care and regular medical check-ups are recommended to maintain the results of the procedure for a long time.
How many years does a brow lift last?
The results of a brow lift may vary from person to person and depending on the techniques used. Brow lift is usually performed to achieve a younger and more vibrant appearance or to correct sagging eyebrows. How long the results of the procedure last depends on several factors:
Skin Type: The skin type of the person can affect the permanence of the results of the procedure. Normally, people with younger and more elastic skin may retain the results longer.
Aging Process: The aging process causes loss of skin elasticity and changes in muscle activity. The results of a brow lift may be affected over time by the progression of signs of ageing.
Surgical Technique: The surgical techniques and procedures used can affect how long the results last. Modern techniques such as endoscopic brow lifts can often offer longer lasting results.
Personal Care and Protection: Careful skin care and sun protection after the procedure can improve the longevity of the results. It is important to care as recommended by the surgeon.
Genetic Factors: Genetic factors can affect the permanence of brow lift results. Family history and genetic factors can affect the results.
Brow lift results can usually last for several years, but this period may vary from person to person. Post-procedure care, regular medical check-ups and revision procedures, if necessary, can support longer lasting results. If you are considering the procedure, you can consult with a plastic surgeon to discuss your personal expectations and possible outcomes in more detail.
How is endoscopic brow lift surgery performed?
Endoscopic brow lift surgery is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to correct sagging eyebrows and achieve a more youthful appearance. Here are the general steps on how endoscopic brow lift surgery is performed:
Anaesthesia: Before the surgery begins, the patient is anaesthetised under local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia. The type of anaesthesia may vary depending on the surgeon’s preferences and the patient’s condition.
Making the Incisions: Endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive technique and uses less visible incisions. The surgeon makes small incisions within the scalp or hidden in the natural layers of the eyebrows.
Using the Endoscopic Device: The surgeon passes a thin tube called an endoscope through these incisions. The endoscope is used to visualise the structures under the skin and perform the surgical procedure. This can speed up the healing process as it is a less invasive technique.
Elevation of Muscles and Tissues: The endoscopic method is used to lift the muscles and eyebrows upwards. The surgeon reshapes and stabilises the muscles to achieve the desired position of the eyebrows.
Wound Closure: Incisions are usually closed with sutures. Stitches are usually self-dissolving.
Recovery Process: There may be swelling and bruising in the postoperative period. Caring as recommended by the surgeon can speed up the healing process.
Endoscopic brow lift surgery offers a less invasive option than traditional brow lift procedures and usually results in a faster recovery process. As a result of the surgery, the eyebrows gain a younger and more vibrant appearance. However, as with any surgical procedure, this procedure is not without potential risks.
Does Botox injections in the forehead lift the eyebrows?
Yes, Botox (botulinum toxin) injections into the forehead area can help to partially lift the eyebrows. When Botox is injected into the forehead muscles, it causes these muscles to relax temporarily. The forehead muscles are the muscles that pull the upper part of the face, and when these muscles are tight and tense, the eyebrows are pulled downwards.
Botox injections into the forehead area can reduce the activity of these muscles, reducing forehead wrinkles and lines, while at the same time contributing to raising the eyebrows. For this reason, some people have forehead botox injections to lift or raise their eyebrows.
However, the effect of botox is temporary and usually lasts between 3 and 6 months. The results may vary from person to person. Before having botox in the forehead area, you should discuss your desired results and the potential of botox to raise the eyebrows with an aesthetic specialist or plastic surgeon. The amount of botox to be applied and the injection points are important to achieve the desired result and should be performed by a professional specialist.
