It
will correct the position of your eyebrows and remove
wrinkles from your forehead.
PROCEDURE
It
is performed using a tiny fiber optic lens inserted
through half inch incisions placed in the hairline.
A lens (attached to a camera, which is connected to
a
television, allowing for visualization of the surgery)
is introduced through one of them and, alternatively
using the other parts, special instruments allow us
to perform the tissue changes that will raise your
eyebrows and permanently fixate them superiorly, with
a new special re-absorbable device, called an “Endotine”.
Recovery
There will be swelling and bruising that may last
from seven to ten days. For some patients this may
include the cheeks and eyelids. Keeping your head
elevated and application of cold compresses will help
to reduce the swelling. As your incisions heal, you
will notice some itching and possibly some numbness.
These symptoms will diminish over time. You may wear
make-up after three days, and your sutures will be
removed in seven to ten days. Strenuous activity is
restricted for six weeks.
Not
long ago a facelift was the only existent procedure
to restore a youthful appearance to one’s face.
At
the present time, the endoscopic brow and/or mid-face
lift procedures can be used to lift sagging eyebrows,
cheeks and lips. It has a perfect indication on patients
seeking facial rejuvenation at an early stage
The
most important aspect of this procedure is that it
lifts the cheek tissue vertically. This reverses the
effects of gravity, which pulls downward. A refreshed
and youthful appearance is the result.
PROCEDURE
Endoscopic
or minimal-incision surgery is performed using a tiny
lens inserted through half-inch incisions placed inconspicuously.
The lens is attached to a camera connected to a television,
which allows the visualization of the surgery. Through
those incisions, special instruments are used to manipulate
the tissue and insert sutures or devices (new mid-face
Endotine) that will allow the permanent suspension
of your eyebrows and cheeks.
Benefits
of endoscopic facial surgery
No visible incisions, minimal scarring, less bleeding,
no hair loss, minimal numbness and a much quicker
recovery, when compared to traditional surgical techniques.
Recovery
Your face will show swelling and may be bruised for
a few days.
Since
there is no visible scar, you will be able to go back
to work as soon as you feel comfortable with the residual
swelling.
