Endotine Brow Lift FAQ – Procedure, Recovery, and How Long It Lasts

✔ A brow lift elevates drooping eyebrows and improves hooded eyes, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines.

Key mechanisms:
• Relaxes or removes the corrugator muscles (responsible for frown lines), allowing brows to lift naturally.
• Unlike thread lifts that only pull skin, endoscopic brow lift also addresses underlying muscle.
• Ideal for those who rely on Botox frequently—this surgery offers a longer-lasting result.

✔ Small incisions (less than 2cm) are made behind the hairline—typically 4 to 5 points.
✔ A surgical endoscope is used to lift tissues without needing a large incision.
✔ Swelling is less intense than eyelid surgery, allowing for a relatively fast recovery.

✔ Yes. Upper blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, lower blepharoplasty, or fat grafting can be performed simultaneously.

✔ Noonopi offers tailored eye rejuvenation surgery plans for each individual.

✔ Yes—especially if you have a low eyebrow position or rely on your forehead to open your eyes.

✔ This procedure can also reduce forehead strain and improve eye openness.

✔ Generally, results last 5 to 7+ years.
✔ When frowning muscles are sufficiently treated, frown lines diminish, mimicking Botox-like effects without repeated injections.

• Day 3: Bandage removal and shampoo allowed
• Day 4–7: Swelling and bruising present but manageable
• Day 7: Stitches removed; makeup can cover any residual bruising
• Week 2+: Light exercise is okay, but avoid strong pressure on the forehead for 1 month

✔ In patients with low fat volume around the eyes, a brow lift may make hollowness more visible.
✔ Simultaneous fat grafting around the upper eyelid can help restore volume.
 

• Motor nerve damage: Rare, but possible with inexperienced surgeons.
• Temporary numbness: Scalp sensitivity may decrease temporarily, recovering in 2–3 months.
• Temporary hair thinning: Rare around incision sites, typically resolves in 6 months.

✔ Surgeon-related: Insufficient anatomical understanding, poor dissection depth, muscle undertreatment

✔ Patient-related: Strong skin tension or challenging bone structure (e.g., prominent forehead)
✔ Revision surgery is possible, but poorly executed first surgeries may complicate results.

✔ Patients with:
• Droopy brows + forehead wrinkles
• Narrow space between brows and eyes
• Strong reliance on forehead muscles
• History of frequent Botox use with diminishing effect
