What is Endoscopic Lifting?

One of the age symptoms that we handle the worst is in the eyes. Over time, and sometimes at early ages, the eyebrows tend to droop and there is an excess of skin on the upper eyelid. The optical result of this natural process is smaller, sadder, and more tired-looking eyes.

84% of patients who come to rejuvenate an upper eyelid need a eyebrow lift, and the endoscopic lifting, is at the forefront of minimally invasive surgical interventions for orbital rejuvenation: eyelids and eyebrows.

Dr. Javier de Benito, an expert in Frontal Endoscopic Surgery, one of the pioneers in Spain (since 1998) and recognized in Europe, tells us that the advantages of this intervention are: minimal scars, a very natural result, and a quick recovery.

For Dr. Javier de Benito, "most patients who come to the consultation presenting droopy eyelids or excess skin on the upper eyelids, it is usually due to the descent of the eyebrows, which produce an excess of skin on the outer part of the eye and a sad look. Therefore, when performing a blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, and we need to remove the excess skin on the upper eyelid, we must lift the eyebrows."

For Dr. de Benito, "the endoscopic lifting unlike the coronal lifting, (with an incision from ear to ear within the scalp), is a minimally invasive intervention, in which the patient can resume daily life immediately, and in addition to removing the muscle that produces frown lines, it improves forehead wrinkles and crow's feet area."

Protocol

The eyebrow lift is performed through a minimally invasive surgery. A single 1 cm incision in the hair area is sufficient. With endoscopy and with the help of a camera, the eyebrows are repositioned in the desired area.

In addition to the eyebrow, the forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and periorbital area are also treated. It is a very quick and non-traumatic intervention thanks to the endoscope. The surgeon works with a video camera that has the diameter of a pen. Few and small incisions are needed, which will always be made under the hair.
