Advanced technology speeds recovery time
Technological advancements in medicine are leaning toward less invasive surgical procedures, including the use of endoscopy for cosmetic procedures. The endoscope is used in a variety of reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgical applications, including the endoscopic brow lift.
The endoscope, a special viewing instrument that allows a surgeon to see images of the body’s internal structures through very small incisions, has proven itself to be a valuable tool for plastic surgeons. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, “Scars are likely to be hidden, much smaller, and some of the after effects of surgery may be minimized.” With the aid of an endoscope, smaller incisions can be made, which allows patients to heal faster and experience less discomfort compared with traditional plastic surgery procedures.
The endoscopic brow lift can provide the following results:
- Elevate the eyebrows to remove excess skin and/or fullness from the upper eyelid.
- Improve symmetry of the eyebrows.
- Change the shape of the eyebrows.
- Decrease the wrinkles of the brow.
- Decrease function of muscles in the brow and glabellar region that cause wrinkling.
With the endoscopic approach, you may recover more quickly and return to work earlier than if you had undergone traditional surgery. Be sure to discuss this possibility at your consultation, where we can decide on a treatment plan that is right for you!
