Is a brow lift the same as a forehead lift? Why is it done endoscopically?

You often see the term "Endoscopic Forehead Lift," and some people may have questions: What is an endoscope? What is a brow lift? Does it involve lifting the eyebrows? Is it a facelift? We'll explain these questions below.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift跟前額拉提一樣嗎？

A typical forehead lift involves pulling the forehead upwards, which can lift the forehead and the tissue around the eyebrows.

Arsty ClinicEndoscopic Forehead Lift相較一般前額拉提，除了額頭、眉毛外，涵蓋範圍抱括眼尾部位，因此通常術後眼神會更加年輕有神，魚尾紋也會較不明顯；另外也會針對眉心的部位放鬆，使眉頭緊鎖、有眉壓眼情形的人，變成眉開眼笑，除了整體更年輕緊緻之外，表情也更加柔和放鬆，當然就給人更加好親近的氛圍。

Are the wounds from a facelift large?

Many people find facelift surgery terrifying, with the image of traditional facelifts being characterized by large wounds and difficult recovery deeply ingrained in their minds. Indeed, traditional facelifts leave relatively large scars that are more difficult to care for. For example, in an upper facelift, the incision will cross the scalp like a headband, resulting in greater postoperative swelling, a longer recovery period, and even the need to avoid washing or shaving the hair to reduce the risk of infection.

Endoscopic technology - reducing surgical incisions

In recent years, endoscopic surgery has become more sophisticated. Endoscopes are used to diagnose internal conditions, such as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, gastroscopy, fetoscopy, and fallopian tube endoscopy. Most of these endoscopes have evolved from being primarily "diagnostic" to being "surgical" endoscopes that can actually treat patients.

Endoscopic surgery can reduce the size of surgical wounds that would otherwise require open surgery to only about 0.5-2cm, allowing the endoscope and surgical instruments to fit inside. Doctors can then see the surgical site inside the body through the endoscope and a screen, greatly reducing the size of the incision.

Advantages of endoscopic surgery

Minimally invasive

Less bleeding

The pain was relatively mild.

Recovery is relatively fast after surgery

The wound is relatively easy to care for.

Smaller and more aesthetically pleasing surgical wound

Endoscopic Forehead Lift及傳統前額拉皮手術疤痕比較

The impression that traditional facelift surgery involves long incisions, a long recovery period, and noticeable scars makes many people hesitant to undergo the procedure, fearing that they will look unnatural and that the scars will be difficult to conceal. However, modern precision facelift surgery is quite different from traditional facelifts.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift（內視鏡上臉拉提）會不會不自然難照顧？

1. No need to shave your head for an eyebrow lift: The scalp and hair will be disinfected before the surgery. Hair will not affect the surgical process or the results, so there is no need to cut or shave your head.

2. No special bandaging is required for the face. The endoscopic facelift hides the micro-incision within the hairline, leaving almost no visible scar.

３.Arsty Clinic整外醫師會根據受術者的年齡及膚況，術前詳細的諮詢溝通，讓內視鏡上臉拉提手術後一至二周內，眉毛的角度與整體臉部便可恢復一定的自然度，若依然不放心，可以運用劉海髮型修飾一段時間到自我適應後。
