Endoscopic Medial Brow Lift
What is Medial Brow Lift?
A medial brow lift, also known as an endoscopic brow lift or an internal brow lift, is a surgical procedure performed to elevate and rejuvenate the position of the eyebrows. It specifically targets the inner or medial portion of the eyebrows, which is the area closest to the center of the face.
The Technique Behind Medial Brow Lift Surgery
During a medial brow lift, 4 small incisions are made within the hairline, allowing the surgeon to access the underlying tissues and muscles of the forehead. Using an endoscope, a thin tube with a camera and surgical instruments, the surgeon lifts and repositions the brow tissues, tightening any loose or sagging skin.
Goals and Benefits of Medial Brow Lift:
The goal of a medial brow lift is to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance by raising the eyebrows, reducing the appearance of forehead wrinkles and frown lines, and opening up the upper eyelid area. It can help correct a droopy or heavy brow, improve symmetry between the eyebrows, and provide a more rested and alert look.
Medial Brow Lift vs. Traditional Coronial Brow Lift:
A medial brow lift is typically performed under general anesthesia & it is a less invasive alternative to a traditional coronal brow lift, which involves a longer incision across the entire forehead. The recovery period for a medial brow lift is generally shorter, with less scarring and a quicker return to normal activities.

Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to maintain the desired outcome.

It is best to follow Dr.Ufuk Askeroglu’s guidance to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of infection or complications.
