OVERVIEW

What is an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

Drooping brows can create a tired, sad, or even angry appearance that does not reflect how you actually feel. Also known as a forehead lift, this procedure is designed to lift the skin that hangs over the eyes, raise the position of the brows, and open the eye appearance.

The endoscopic technique uses small incisions made within the hairline, meaning any scarring is hidden in the hair and not visible. At the same time, the procedure softens forehead wrinkles and the frown lines between the brows.

WHAT IT ADDRESSES

The Changes this Procedure Can Make

Lipofilling to the breasts has become increasingly available in the UK and can be applied across a wide range of clinical and cosmetic situations:

Raised Brow Position

Lifts the brows to a more youthful, natural height — reducing the heavy, drooping effect that can make the upper face look tired or heavy.

Opened Eye Appearance

By lifting the skin that hangs over the eyes, the procedure creates a more open, alert expression without touching the eyelids themselves.

Softened Forehead Lines

Smooths horizontal forehead wrinkles and reduces the deep frown lines that form between the brows over time.

This procedure is particularly beneficial for women who are generally satisfied with the size of their breasts but wish to correct sagging or drooping. Mastopexy not only restores a firmer, youthful appearance but can also improve the symmetry of the breasts, giving them a more uplifted and aesthetically pleasing shape.

THE PROCEDURE

How the Operation is Performed

The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic. The endoscopic approach uses three small incisions made within the hairline, rather than one long incision across the top of the scalp. A tiny camera (endoscope) is inserted through these incisions to guide the surgeon’s instruments as the tissues are lifted and repositioned.

For Fatty Tissue

Liposuction

Where the excess is primarily fatty tissue, liposuction alone can achieve excellent results — removing fat through very small incisions with minimal scarring.

Minimal incisions and scarring
Suitable for softer, fatty enlargement
Smooth, natural-looking results

For Glandular Tissue

Glandular Excision

Where firm glandular tissue is present beneath the nipple, direct excision is required to remove it effectively — liposuction alone cannot address this type.

Targets firm tissue that liposuction cannot remove
Incision typically placed at the areola border
Often combined with liposuction for best results

Upper

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, reducing heaviness and improving the field of vision where drooping skin has become significant.

Local or general anaesthetic · Day case

Lower

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Addresses puffiness and loose skin beneath the eyes — the classic “eye bag” area — to produce a more rested and youthful appearance.

General anaesthetic · 1 night hospital stay

Both

Upper & Lower Combined

Both upper and lower eyelids can be treated at the same time for a comprehensive refreshment of the whole eye area in a single procedure.

General anaesthetic · 1 night hospital stay

Incisions Hidden in the Hairline

Three small incisions are made within the hairline, meaning any scarring is completely hidden by the hair. This is one of the key advantages of the endoscopic approach over traditional brow lift techniques.

RECOVERY

What to Expect After Surgery

Most patients find their pain limited and easily managed with appropriate pain relief tablets over the first few days following surgery.

1 Night

HOSPITAL STAY

An overnight stay may be required following surgery, though this is assessed on an individual basis.

Days

INITIAL SWELLING

Some forehead swelling is expected immediately after surgery and will take time to settle as healing progresses.

Gradual

FINAL RESULT

The final position of the brows and the full improvement in appearance becomes clear as swelling resolves over the weeks following surgery.
