Useful information for patients on Forehead Lift (Endoscopic) procedures - regaining a youthful look of the forehead and brows using a specialized tube.
An endoscopic forehead lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the forehead and brows using an endoscope. It addresses the same concerns as a classic forehead lift, such as forehead creases, drooping brows, and frown lines, but through smaller incisions.
The procedure uses 3-5 short scalp incisions (less than 1 inch). A tiny camera attached to the endoscope allows the surgeon to lift tissues, remove excess, and realign muscles with precision.
When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, forehead lifts are considered safe and effective. However, as with all procedures, there are risks that should be discussed with your surgeon.
This procedure is often recommended for patients who:
Before surgery, patients usually undergo:
Ensure you consider all aspects of a procedure. You can speak to your surgeon about these areas of the surgery in more detail during a consultation.
How Long Is the Procedure?
Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Do I Need Anesthesia?
General anaesthesia, intravenous sedation, or local anaesthesia may be required.
Is The Procedure Inpatient or Outpatient?
Most patients go home the same day, as this is usually an outpatient procedure.
Several conditions may apply after the procedure:
A drain may be placed for 1 to 2 days, and a light pressure dressing is applied for several days. Patients should avoid showering for 2 to 3 days and sleep with their head elevated for the first few nights. Stitches are typically removed after 7 to 10 days.
Bruising and swelling improve within 2 weeks, and most individuals return to work in 7to 10 days. Strenuous activity should be avoided for at least 3 weeks. Sun protection for 3 to 6 months is recommended to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Results are noticeable immediately, with best results are visible in 1 to 3 weeks. Long-term results are generally permanent.
Please note: Individual results vary from patient to patient due to varying factors such as age, skin quality, bone structure, and overall health. To understand what results you can expect, please consult with a qualified aesthetic plastic surgeon.
