Eyebrows are the emotional barometer of our face. Frowning brows make us look angry, while low brows make us look more tired, unhappy, and older than we are. Over time, due to the effects of gravity, the forehead skin loosens, and the eyebrows pile up over the eyelids. This situation not only creates an aesthetic problem but can also narrow the field of vision.
Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü removes deep lines on the forehead and moves the eyebrows to their ideal position with Endoscopic Brow Lift surgery, providing his patients with a bright, dynamic, and youthful gaze.
While traditional brow lift methods require long incisions on the scalp, the endoscopic method is a minimally invasive approach offered by technology. In this way, natural and permanent results are achieved without the concern of scarring.
An endoscopic brow lift is a procedure usually performed under general anesthesia, lasting an average of 1–1.5 hours.
Hidden Entry: 3 to 5 small incisions of approximately 1–2 cm are made within the scalp. Optical Imaging: Thin endoscopes with a light and camera at the tip are inserted through these small holes. The surgeon sees the vessels, nerves, and muscles in the forehead area in detail on a monitor. Release: The ligaments pulling the eyebrows down and the muscles causing frowning (corrugator muscles) are released. Fixation: The eyebrows and forehead skin are brought to the planned new position and suspended to the bone tissue or fascia with the help of special sutures or absorbable screws (endotine).
With this method, not only are the brows lifted, but the temple area is also tightened, and the crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes are smoothed. Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü frequently combines this surgery with Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty) to provide complete rejuvenation around the eyes.
Due to the influence of social media today, the term “brow lift” usually brings to mind the “Bella Eyes” or “Fox Eyes” (Almond Eye) look, where only the outer part of the eyebrow is lifted. This is the procedure we call a Temporal Lift, and it provides an exotic expression in young patients.
However, Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü applies a Total Brow Lift approach according to the patient’s needs.
Inner (Medial) Part: When the inner part of the eyebrow near the root of the nose drops, it gives the person an “angry” or “sad” expression. With a Total Brow Lift, not only the tail of the eyebrow but also the inner and middle parts are moved upwards. Balance: The eyebrow is brought to its ideal anatomical position as a whole (inner, middle, and outer). Thus, not just a “slanted” look, but a “bright and open” forehead structure is obtained.
An endoscopic brow lift is applied not only to older patients but also to young patients who genetically have a low eyebrow structure. Ideal candidates include:
Disrupted Eyebrow Integrity: Those whose middle and inner brows are low, not just the ends.
Eyelid Crowding: Those who think they need eyelid surgery because their eyebrows press down on their lids (the real problem may be brow ptosis, not the lids).
Tired and Angry Expression: Those who constantly have a harsh look due to the low position of the medial brow.
Forehead Wrinkles: Those with deep horizontal lines in the forehead area.
Trend Seekers: Those who want Almond Eyes (Fox Eyes) by lifting only the tail section.
Patients are generally discharged on the same day after surgery.
Edema and Bruising: Swelling around the forehead and eyes is normal and disappears within 1 week as it moves downwards with gravity. Numbness: There may be a temporary feeling of numbness in the forehead area; this sensation returns as the nerves heal. Scar: Since the incisions remain within the hair, there are no visible scars from the outside. Social Life: Our patients can generally return to work after 1 week.
This was a problem seen in older techniques. With the endoscopic method, only the outer part (tail) of the eyebrow is lifted, giving an extremely natural and attractive curve. The aim is to achieve a ‘dynamic’ rather than a ‘startled’ look.
Botox can lift the eyebrow by 1-2 mm by temporarily paralysing the muscles, and its effect lasts for 4-6 months. Endoscopic brow lift, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that can lift the eyebrow by 1-2 cm, and its effect is permanent for years.
As the incisions are very small, there is no general hair loss. There may be minimal, temporary thinning along the incision line, but as the hair follicles are preserved, this will close over time.
Yes. However, men’s eyebrow structure is not curved like women’s, but rather straighter. Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü performs a more masculine lift procedure while preserving the eyebrow shape to avoid creating a feminine appearance in male patients.
Although the ageing process continues, the results of endoscopic brow lift surgery remain effective for 5-10 years. Your eyebrows will never droop as much as they did before the surgery.
