Surgical Procedure
The principle of this procedure is to elevate the eyebrows in order to correct abnormally low eyebrows to their correct position. The incisions for brow lifting are hidden within the hair by placing them a few centimeters behind the frontal hairline. The face and eyelids are not tightened by a forehead lift, although the upper lid skin may be stretched.

Duration of Operation
1 hour

Risks and Complications
The main risks are swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, scarring and numbness, or change in sensation. The problem unique to this operation is damage nerves on the scalp, thus causing numbness behind the incision. This risk is reduced but not eliminated with endoscopic forehead lifting. Another problem is scar stretching. Because scars do not grow hair, this may be noticeable in those with thin hair.

After Care
If bandages were used, they will be removed a day or two after surgery.

Recovery
There will be some pain for a few days, which will require some pain medications. While infections are extremely rare, antibiotics are utilized to avoid any potential infection. Swelling and any black and blueness that occurs around the eye will generally be gone within ten to twelve days following the surgery.

Results
Patients may experience some numbness and temporary discomfort around the incision, which can be controlled with prescription medication. As the nerves heal, numbness on the top of your scalp may be replaced by itching. These sensations may take as long as six months to fully disappear.
