Endoscopic vs Traditional Brow Lift: Which Is Better?

Endoscopic vs Traditional Brow Lift: Which Is Better?

If you’ve been noticing a drooping brow, forehead lines, or a tired appearance around your eyes, a brow lift could be your solution. But with more than one surgical technique available, the question often arises—should you go for an Endoscopic or a Traditional Brow Lift?

In this blog, Dr. Rakesh Tawar, a highly experienced best plastic surgeon in Dehradun, breaks down the key differences between the two approaches to help you choose the right procedure based on your facial anatomy, age, and goals.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that elevates sagging eyebrows, smooths deep forehead lines, and refreshes the eye area. It’s ideal for anyone looking to reduce signs of aging in the upper face and restore a more youthful, awake appearance.

Endoscopic Brow Lift: A Minimally Invasive Option

The Endoscopic Brow Lift is a modern technique that uses a tiny camera (endoscope) and small incisions hidden within the hairline. It offers less scarring and faster recovery compared to the traditional approach.

Pros:

• Minimally invasive
  
• Less scarring
  
• Shorter downtime
  
• Natural, subtle lift
  
• Best for mild to moderate sagging
  

Cons:

• May not be suitable for patients with significant skin laxity
  
• Slightly limited in terms of lift compared to open techniques
  

Traditional Brow Lift: The Classic Approach

The Traditional (Coronal) Brow Lift involves a longer incision across the scalp (hidden within the hairline). It allows for a more dramatic lift and is often recommended for patients with more noticeable sagging or deeper forehead lines.

Pros:

• More dramatic and long-lasting results
  
• Better suited for older patients or those with deep wrinkles
  
• Allows repositioning of the entire forehead and brow
  

Cons:

• Longer recovery period
  
• More scarring (though hidden)
  
• Slightly higher risk of temporary numbness
