Forehead lift surgery
The first signs of getting old are usually most viewable on face with wrinkles on the forehead and/or brow area. This affects many people lives as they look older and very often have a sad looking appearance despite their actual mood.
Throughout the years there have been many forehead or brow lift surgery methods developed among which the most reliable and commonly performed are the endoscopic forehead lift, coronal lift and subcutaneous brow lift procedures.
Here at BeautyHungary’s clinic our board certified surgeons are using the endoscopic forehead lift about which you can learn more by reading through the details presented below.
The endoscopic forehead lift technique
Endoscopic forehead lift is a new technique in the field of plastic surgery. An endoscope is used by the plastic surgeon during the forehead lift surgery to have a clear view of the muscles and tissues under the skin of the patients. The first endoscopic forehead lift was performed in 1994 in the United States, and it got publicity only after 5 years.
After this quite a long period of waiting time, physicians interpreted that the result of using endoscope for forehead (brow) lift treatment is excellent, safe and effective. The result of endoscopic forehead lift comparing with the conventional one is of course different. Scars are less visible and the recovery period is shorter.
