Endoscopic Brow Lift

There are incisions and scars in all surgical procedures. One of the most important tasks of an ophthalmologist is to make the incision in a place that is invisible and to suture carefully in order to minimize the appearance of scars. One of the main advantages of endoscopic brow lifting compared with other procedures is the length of incisions. These scars are hardly visible after hair growth until they heal completely with almost no trace left. Also, there is no need to shave the hair, so the patient is not going to face such problem.

In the endoscopic brow lifting technique which is carried out in Tehran Noor Eye Hospital in Iran, in contrast to other traditional brow lifting surgeries, the surgeon makes 4 or 5 small incisions, 2 cm in length, along the scalp, and inserts the endoscopes through the incision. Then the ophthalmologist performs the brow lift procedure using special tools.

In some cases, the doctor may use special tools to remove loose and excess muscles or tissues to achieve better appearance and get better results.

This procedure has less pain and complications than similar methods. Recovery time is very short and the patient can resume his daily activities within 2 to 4 days after the surgery.

It is recommended that the patient get enough rest and avoid heavy activities. However, there would be no problem in resuming light and daily activities.

It should be noted that eye swelling is quite normal after the operation and is resolved when the recovery period is completed.
