Endoscopic brow lift

An Endoscopic brow lift is a procedure in which small incisions are made inside the hairline, dissection is performed using a full-HD endoscope, and the sagging forehead and eyebrows are lifted and secured. The method is selected according to skin thickness and the pattern of sagging: either the Endotine method, which provides fixation over a broad area, or the bone-tunneling method, which uses absorbable sutures for three-point fixation.

Recommended for the following

· Those who look older due to sagging eyebrows and forehead · Those with deep forehead wrinkles and severe sagging · Those who wish to improve forehead wrinkles, Crow's Feet, and Glabella wrinkles together · Those whose eyelids still appear droopy after Double Eyelid Surgery · Those whose eyes appear small due to sagging eyebrows and eyelids · Those who appear stern because the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow · Those for whom it is difficult to create large, defined double eyelids because the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow

Types of Endoscopic brow lift

Endotine forehead lift

A bioabsorbable fixation device is used. · When strong Lifting and firm fixation are needed: A broad contact surface provides stronger and longer-lasting fixation. · When the scalp is thick and heavy: The fixation device is less noticeable even under a thick scalp.

Bone-tunneling forehead lift

Absorbable medical sutures are used. · When sagging of the Glabella and inner eyebrows is severe: Three-point fixation precisely lifts the Glabella and inner eyebrows. · When the scalp and forehead skin are thin: There is no foreign-body sensation from a fixation device.

Endotine forehead lift

After safely dissecting sagging forehead tissue with an Endoscope, a fixation device called Endotine is inserted to firmly lift and secure the Forehead. Firm fixation across a broad area helps improve deep wrinkles in the upper Face.

STEP 1. Minimal incision

Approximately 4–5 small incisions, about 1 cm each, are made inside the hairline.

STEP 2. Endoscopic dissection

Nerves, blood vessels, and muscles are precisely dissected using a full-HD Endoscope.

STEP 3. Endotine fixation

Endotine is placed in the dissected area to secure the lifted Forehead.

STEP 4. Suturing

The incision sites are carefully sutured to complete the procedure.

Features of the Endotine forehead lift

· Broad dissection and strong fixation – The area from the eyebrows to the upper Forehead is widely dissected to enhance the Lifting effect, then firmly secured with Endotine to prevent recurrent sagging. · Effective for thick skin and deep wrinkles – Fixation marks are less visible in thicker skin, while strong Lifting improves deep forehead wrinkles. · Long-lasting, stable results – Endotine is gradually absorbed over approximately one year and provides stable maintenance. · Broad-area fixation – Multiple hook-like structures firmly hold a wide area, producing a more noticeable improvement in forehead sagging.

Bone-tunneling forehead lift

After dissecting forehead tissue through small incisions using an Endoscope, the sagging Forehead is firmly lifted and secured with biodegradable medical sutures. It is suitable for those with relatively thin skin and may also improve Glabella wrinkles.

STEP 1. Minimal incision

Approximately 4–5 small incisions, about 2 cm each, are made inside the hairline.

STEP 2. Endoscopic dissection

Dissection is performed while identifying nerves, blood vessels, and muscles with a full-HD Endoscope.

STEP 3. Suture fixation

Sagging forehead tissue is pulled up and firmly secured with absorbable sutures.

STEP 4. Suturing

The incision sites are carefully sutured to complete the procedure.

Features of the bone-tunneling forehead lift

· Bone-tunneling technique – Small tunnels are created on the bone surface to secure forehead tissue with sutures. Because only the bone surface is treated, there is no risk of brain injury. The small openings naturally fill in over time. · Correction of eyebrow position and angle through Glabella fixation – Lifting the Glabella and inner eyebrow sagging creates a brighter, more youthful appearance. · Minimal foreign-body sensation – The fixation sutures and knots are small, resulting in almost no foreign-body sensation and reducing the likelihood of loosening from external impact. · Improvement of Glabella wrinkles through three-point fixation

Effects of Endoscopic brow lift

Point 1. Improves forehead, Glabella, and Crow's Feet wrinkles together

Effectively improves deep forehead wrinkles, Glabella wrinkles, and Crow's Feet, and helps prevent horizontal and vertical wrinkles.

Point 2. Lifts sagging eyebrows and Forehead for a brighter, more youthful appearance

Adjusts the position and angle of the Forehead and sagging eyebrows to improve severe Crow's Feet sagging and create a more vibrant, youthful appearance.

Point 3. Widens the space between the eyes and eyebrows for a more open appearance

Lifting sagging eyebrows and the Forehead widens the previously narrow space between the eyes and eyebrows, making the eyes appear larger and brighter.

Point 4. Improves double-eyelid lines obscured by sagging skin

Corrects uneven or hidden double-eyelid lines caused by sagging skin, making heavy-looking eyes appear lighter and brighter.

Point 5. Minimizes scars and recovery time with small incisions

Because minimal incisions are made inside the hairline, there are no noticeable scars and you can return to daily activities quickly.

Point 6. Dissection of corrugator muscles and retaining ligaments

By dissecting the corrugator muscles and retaining ligaments that interfere with Lifting, sagging tissue can be lifted more effectively. It also reduces the downward pull on the eyebrows, improving Glabella wrinkles.

Point 7. Prevents thick, unnatural-looking double eyelids

If only Double Eyelid Surgery is performed without correcting a narrow space between the eyebrows and eyes or thick upper-eyelid skin, the eyes may appear heavy or the crease may look thick and unnatural. In such cases, widening the space between the eyebrows and eyes with an Endoscopic brow lift first, followed by Double Eyelid Surgery, can create a more natural and balanced eye shape.
