Question:
Aside from the incisions are there any other major differences between the endoscopic browlift and a regular browlift?
Answer:
The endoscopic and regular browlifts utilize similar principles. However, the endoscopic browlift uses much smaller incisions with much less recovery. The results in terms of durability of the lift are quite similar. Patients recover much faster and the down times are again much smaller with the endoscopic approach.
