II.D. Browlift
1. Endoscopic Browlift
One relatively new approach that is useful for a number of patients is the endoscopic browlift. In this approach, the procedure is performed using specially designed instruments including an endoscope, which allows the surgeon to perform a browlift through several small incisions hidden behind the hairline.b-'
The advantages of the endoscopic browlift are that the long incision used in the "coronal" and "in-frontof-the-hairline" lift (see below) is eliminated. The long incision of those browlifts is hidden by the hair, but there is always numbness (usually temporary) in the scalp behind this incision. The endoscopic browlift is a nice way to address mild to moderate brow drooping and is a commonly used approach, but it is not as effective when there is major brow drooping.
