Name: Endoscopic Brow Lift
Brand: Shuster Plastic Surgery
Rating: 4.9 (188 reviews)

The brows begin to droop and sag as one ages, distorting the facial expression and, in some cases, interfering with one’s vision. Dr. Shuster’s innovative brow lift method has evolved over his 20 years of surgical experience, allowing him to deliver natural, elegant results. Dr. Shuster finds the brow lift to be one of the most transformative procedures he performs in terms of rejuvenating the upper face and maximizing the smile.

The Challenge with a Brow Lift

The brow is often the first area to show signs of age by descending and drooping before the rest of the face. This creates a tired, sad, or heavy appearance to the upper eyelids, altering the facial expression.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the forehead and eyebrows to relieve the heaviness of sagging skin. The procedure can help mitigate an exhausted, disgruntled appearance and can enhance one’s field of vision. A brow lift is often performed in tandem with other cosmetic procedures for the face, such as blepharoplasty or a facelift. An endoscopic brow lift typically takes a little under an hour to perform, and patients can expect to return to work within about one week.

Dr. Shuster’s Approach

In the past, the brow lift was traditionally performed by making an incision from ear to ear across the top of the head. Dr. Shuster’s endoscopic brow lift, however, dismisses this extensive approach and the problems that often go along with it.

Dr. Shuster’s endoscopic brow lift (or upper facelift) raises the brow through 2-3 small incisions behind the hairline. He will insert a small, thin camera (an endoscope) so that he can artistically and strategically lift and reposition the skin, muscles, and underlying tissues. This elevates the eyebrows and forehead, leading to a more open, alert appearance to the eyes. It restores a youthful, rested look by elevating the eyebrows and highlights the eyes by reducing sagging, excess skin.

I researched many doctors for years before I actually decided to go ahead with my cosmetic surgery. Hands down, picking Dr. Shuster was the best decision I have ever made.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

Shuster Plastic Surgery serves the Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, FL areas — and beyond. If you’re considering rejuvenating your appearance with a brow lift, you may be the perfect candidate, provided you are a healthy non-smoker with realistic expectations. Good patients for an endoscopic brow lift are those who have heavy brows that are sagging to the level of the rim of the orbit and encroaching upon the upper eyelids. Patients with heavy brows often come in asking for an upper eyelid lift. However, with the proper analysis, Dr. Shuster can help determine if a brow lift might be a more appropriate solution.

How is a Brow Lift Procedure Done?

The endoscopic brow lift is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Shuster performs the procedure by making three short incisions in the scalp behind the hairline. Through these incisions, he inserts a three-millimeter camera (endoscope) to visualize the surgical field. The endoscope also allows him to insert the other fine instruments needed to elevate and reposition the skin of the forehead and eyebrows. The incisions are then closed in layers with sutures, resulting in an incision that is nearly invisible and covered by hair. An endoscopic brow lift takes approximately one hour.
